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.

Unprofessional
Dr. Nicholson scheduled my father for surgery and a week later his secretary called and said he had cancelled the surgery because he was too high risk. He was supposed to have called my parents and explained to them why he made the decision to cancel the surgery but he did not.

Had quadruple bypass 20yrs ago. Two years ago arteries were clogged again. Was told I had to have another open heart surgery. Did research and found this remarkable Dr. Bill..Drove 600 miles to York, Pa to have Dr. Bill do 3 stents and drove a second time to have another stent...I am 72years and active....Dr. Bill is one of the best doctors EVER!!!..Explained everything, very caring, good bedside manners..Simply put, Dr. Bill knows his job..I will drive another 600 miles if I have to.

Simply put, the most friendly, professional, Doctor I've ever had any dealings with. I traveled from Detroit MI area to York PA.(in excess of 500 miles) to have him insert a couple stents in my heart arteries. All communications I've received from other doctors agreed that it would have been, no question, bypass surgery. Dr Nicholson's procedure was a complete success. I truly cannot thank him enough for probably saving my life & getting me back on my feet again. Thanks again Dr Nicholson

He was very patient & caring. Dr. Bill lead a Team of doctors while performing surgery on me in a NYC hospital. The good doctor was calling the Play-By-Play for more than 25-doctors in a conference room. Everything went well & I am doing fine. Thanks Dr. Bill!!!
