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 Doctor!

I am new to this area and had the daunting task of looking for a new podiatrist. I had been going to my previous podiatrist, who I trusted, knew well, and really liked, for several years. Upon meeting Dr. Nichols I immediately felt comfortable. He was very relaxed, which made me very relaxed. There was no question in my mind that he was very competent . I appreciated how he explained things to me and encouraged me to be informed and to make informed decisions regarding my health, medications etc. I would highly recommend Dr. Nichols to anyone looking for a doctor they can trust to do what is best for them, the patient.

I heard that Dr. Nichols was carrying Vionic and comfort shoes in his office. My left knee was hurting and affecting my gait. One of his trained staff helped me find the correct shoe for my problem! I went shopping that same day wearing my new comfort shoes! No pain! I felt like a new person! Dr. Nichols staff was so friendly and helpful!

I had pain in the ball of my foot for a long time. He diagnosed my problem as arthritis. All it took was an insert in my shoe and it made a big difference. He was very thorough in helping me find the relief I need.
