I'm a seasonal resident and was so grateful that I could get an appointment with Dr Niichols. He was recommended to me by a friend. I needed someone to give me an assessment of the issue with my shoulder. I had mixed diagnosis from doctors Louisville. I appreciated his candor and how he explained things.

Despite my embarrassment of having to return for a new "issue," Dr. Nichols patiently listened to all my symptoms and concerns and accurately diagnosed my issue as tendinitis. His explanation of issue sudden was entirely feasible and highly probable. I left with a personal treatment plan that I will follow to the letter (including doubling my daily Aleve dosage).

Dr Nichols replaced my right hip 4 yrs ago. It's been great till recently when I kicked up my activity level substantially. X-rays confirmed him hardware is intact, just a bit of inflammation. He prescribed an anti-inflammatory med which is working perfectly. I'm still being very active and I turn 69 in 5 weeks. Thank you Dr Nichols for helping keeping me young.

I will (and do) refer Dr. Nichols to many associates and friends. In my experience (and there has been A LOT of experience working on my third and fourth joint replacement done by him) he is the ultimate professional as well as, in my opinion, brilliant as a surgeon). I not only have the utmost confidence in him as a surgeon, but he is also a very nice person; which, involving serious health matters can be comforting. Most importantly for my situation, is his understanding and compassion in doing his best to restore my body so that I can continue the active lifestyle I need for my physical AND mental wellness!! I do believe he has a definite understanding for how much that means to me, so much appreciation and gratitude to him:)
