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.

Awesome children doctor
I love when a doctor talks to me like a person not another MD. Also love that doctor Nichols is so good that he can tel you what’s wrong with just a quick glance since kids are so quick. All 3 of my kids have gone to Dr. Nichols since birth.

There are times when he is very quick to the ball. Other times he can come off that there’s nothing wrong if you have a hard case and a lot of symptoms. He has nice demeanor most of the days. I don’t feel that he listens much when you try and give an opinion though. I think I’d recommend him for an acute illness, but not for a chronic issue. I don’t like his nurses or staff. If you come in often they have a “why are you here?” attitude. He can give good tips on health, though.

He's very knowledgeable and kind. He spends time with my daughter in the office to ensure that everything is good. He listens to all questions and answers them in a very easy to underatand manner. He doesn't rush and makes sure we are good to go on questions before he leaves. He's old fashioned as well and suggests things that newer pediatricians are scared of, which we love. He knows what he's doing. I recommend him over anyone else in Horry.
