I've been patient for a while, and the best advice my doctor could give me was to lose weight. Along with proper treatment, I believe this is the biggest factor in helping me feel better. I like he didn't mention surgery at all and is trying conservatives methods.
Very pleased.
Efficient kind knowledgeable
He did my left knee (ACL) 27/28 years ago. I now live in FL and I think it might be time for a replacement and I am going back to him. I wouldn’t let go anywhere else (in my opinion). He is the best.
Dr. Nicholas was great. On time, professional, empathetic. Great doctor!!!
The very best and highly compassionate and caring human being and doctor you can ever meet. I have been a patient for many years, currently suffering for joints, knee and hips deterioration due to Long Term Covid. His team consists of highly selected administrators and doctors who were hired for one reason to support Dr Nichol’s goal and his father’s unique legacy: ‘TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.’ You do not find doctors and ethical behavior like this anymore. This doctor truly cares and NO GAMES. FLEXIBLE AND THE BEST IN TREATMENT FOR INJURIES. They stay in touch and foster long term relationships not for money, but for humanity. LOVE THEM!
He is the best. I recommend him to everyone.
An amazing doctor explain every details answer all my questions
Always a pleasure to see him. Extremely polite and certainly knows what he’s doing.
At 77 years old I recently ran my 87th marathon. Dr. Nicholas has been my go to since 2017 on the few occasions problems arose. Absolutely appreciative of his “less is best” (my words, not his) approach starting with modified movement, PT, exercise and stretching before more invasive procedures. Dr. Nicolas has been right on for me, never needed to employ a knife to keep me on the roads and trails with a broad smile. Thanks Doc.
