Dr. Nichols has performed several surgical procedures on my extremities for different injuries. Each time he has surpassed my expectations. He’s a great surgeon and his office staff is phenomenal.

DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR!! I was referred to Dr. Nichols after having reoccurring wrist pain from a "sprain." My primary doctor told me that he would be able to send me for a CT scan to see if anything was broken. At my appointment, Dr. Nichols barely touched my wrist and mostly just looked at it. He then told me I didn't need a CT scan and that it should be healed within two weeks. It is now two months later and the orthopedic specialist I just saw told me I have a broken scaphoid! Had Dr. Nichols sent me for that CT scan two months prior, it would have caught the hairline fracture that the ER was unable to see at that time. I could have gotten a hard cast put on and healed without surgery. Now that it is completely broken in two, a hard cast will not do and it requires surgery. I'm sorry for the very long review, but I had to explain why I don't recommend this doctor at all. Because of him, I now have to have surgery on something that could have been taken care of and healed already. I will be out of work for at least two months. Talk about medical malpractice!
