Patient Reviews
Sep 08, 2021
I had aortic valve replacement surgery performed by Dr. Nichols on October 2, 2015. I am lifting heavy weights, splitting several cords of firewood each year and playing softball. I will be 78 on September 15, 2021. There may be an equal, but I don't see how there could be a better surgeon.
