Dr. Nichols performed surgery on my frozen shoulder in 2006. I also had a frayed rotator cuff, inflammation from arthritis and some bone spurs. He wasted no time in scheduling me for arthroscopic surgery and a manipulation when all other measures were unsuccessful. He is soft-spoken, kind and caring. If you are looking for a doctor that will actually«listen» to what you are saying and not just hear the words, this is the guy for you. My surgery was successful and three years later, it is as though I never had an injury. Dr. Nichols also treated my husband successfully for tendonitis. His office staff is not only professional and efficient, they are friendly. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help me when I needed it with my insurance company. They have taken calls from me and answered any and all questions that they were able without every making me feel they were rushing me. He was my second opinion when my shoulder was initially injured and my first choice when I had to make a decision and when I recommended him to others. I can’t think of a doctor I would rather have to perform surgery if necessary. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Nichols.
