My doctor is the best. He might be the smartest, not first in his class, and might not have degrees from the best colleges, but what makes him the best is that he listens, makes you feel comfortable and more like family than just a number. If he does not know something, he clearly explains this, and will find the answer, and a complete solution to the need/issue.

Dr. Nichols gets A+ from me. He takes time to listen and discuss questions, problem, and if anything is needed to be done. I recommend him to my friends.
