Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Attention to my questions.
Very responsive to what I actually needed and what I didn’t need. Explained issues that have been of concern for year but no other provider addressed. Impressed that he actually listened and didn’t insist on performing care that I didn’t need.

Dr. Nichols is the best!
I have been here multiple times now and already love the practice but this last time my appointment was not saved in the system by accident. The front desk staff were so polite and kind, they went through the schedule (and checked with Dr. Nichols) to be able to still get me in the same day. I didn’t even have to leave! They got me in at what I had put in my calendar for my appointment. Dr. Nichols is always quick but thorough and very pleasant.

I’ve been with Dr S Nichols for more than ten years. He has guided me through glasses, contacts, dry eyes, and cataracts. He explains each new development to guide my decisions as we move forward. I’ve learned to trust him.
