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.

procedure factory not a health 'care' provider
I was told they do not provide medication management and only do Procedures ... env though that is all i was there for and transferred from another office in the same chain.The only thing this place is interested in is shots it is not a health care provider it is a shot factory.They threw away my 10 years of stability and are not responsive to any kind of requests from other doctors pharmacy of insurance.I am not unstable and coming off of the only treatment that allowed me to work without interruptions and live some sort of life and it is the practices doing that this occurred

This was a bad experience
I’d like to believe when you visit a doctor, that person is capable of being caring, and not controlling & confrontational. We found a very different doctor. Everyone needs to feel they are being heard, assure they receive quality care, and not put in a threatening position.

Dr. Nicholson was great. He listened to my complaints and then with out hesitation came up with a plan to help relieve my chronic pain. Dr. Nicholson spent a lot of time with the appointment and made me feel like he cares about his patients. The staff was very nice and efficient. Everyone made me feel at ease from the time I walked into the office. I would definitely recommend Dr. Nicholson to my family and friends.

By far the best in the area, takes the time to listen and gets to know you. Front desk and medical staff have been very friendly too. He knows what he is doing and wants best for his patients.

All was great the first few visits. I had started by telling them that I'm there to buy time before being able to have the surgery. This was a 7 month period and I Well had surgery, they still wanted to see me. Well had an attack where leg went numb, sharp almost untolerable pain. I called my orto(hadn't been released from surgery) This was after I had tried to contact SPM, for over a week asking what to do. They take me down to a weeks worth of meds that were 5mg, compared to 30mg!

I just did care to much for him. i was there because the medication i was taken was not working. So he increased it. He does not listen to well either. He just looks for ways to keep you coming back. i guess that is what you learn after 12 years of college

I highly recommend Dr. Nicholson to anyone who is searching for an experienced pain specialist that understands more than just pain, but also the conditions that are contributing to the pain. He sets realistic expectations and I have never had a doctor who truly just listened first and then provided options. He got me to step outside my comfort zone and try something I held off on for years. He sets his patients at ease and truly cares. Not to mention, his staff is wonderful and are a great team
