Dr. Nicholson is very easy to talk to. He explains things very well and takes his time during your visit. Very friendly and has a great personality. I feel very comfortable in Dr. Nicholson’s care and talking with him about my health. I felt he truly cared about my health and wanted the best course of action to treat me. Like doctors used to be.
