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:)
