"The Best!"
  • March 19, 2024
"Dr. Nicholas is simply the best. Recent 1-year post surgery visit again showed consistent professionalism with a user friendly approach. I am very thankful to have Dr. Nicholas as my surgeon."
  • February 22, 2024
"Excellent visit, I arrived early was processed in, had x-rays taken and taken to the exam room before the original time of my appointment. Dr Nicholas’s assistant examined me And a few minutes later dr N came in and reviewed and tested my ailments. He was great and evaluated my situation and advised me appropriately. The good and bad news is “I do not have to see him again”."
