The visit was extremely thorough, informative and friendly from the front desk, to the Physician's Assistant to Dr. Nickson. The only reason I said I would probably recommend him is because this was the first visit of what will likely be a somewhat long process. The first visit was excellent.

Verified patient
Staff is rude and disrespectful
Verified patient
Didn't really help my husband much. Told him basically anybody would know. You have plantars faciatis. Little too general and didn't help in the end. Husband felt like he wasted his time.
Was kind of thrown off when I first walked up to the desk and no one spoke or said hello or anything. Besides that it was an overall pleasant experience. I didn't have to wait long before I was called to the back. Everyone in the back was very kind and helpful and treated me with respect. Dr. Nickson was very helpful.
Verified patient
Dr. Nickson and his staff were fine. I just wished places wouldn't triple book their patients and make us wait for over an hour. If we make the effort to show up on time, we can only expect the same from the place where we set up the appointment. Maybe I'd suggest to let patients know that the appointments are running behind? Again, the staff were polite and Dr. treated me well.
Verified patient
The Dr greeted me politely and ask me questions concerning my knee problem. He pulled the laptop brought up my xrays and showed just where my problems are. He puposed a steroid shot in the bursitis sack.. He explained all his findings and he had male nurse to administer my shot in knee. He asked me if I needed anything else and I told him No. The Doctor was very kind and knowledgeable. I will recommend him to others.
Absolutely, great experience.
Verified patient
Very nice guy, very professional and polite.
Verified patient
He's very professional and knowledgeable. He actually listens to his patients! Very good bedside manner and described in great detail the causes of my injury and the options to repair it. He's got himself a new patient for sure!
Verified patient
I went in for a consultation about surgery for bunions and Dr. Nickson was so knowledgeable about everything. His staff were all very kind and caring, and his office was clean, organized, and decorated with his sons' cards/artwork which I love. I felt well taken care of and feel my surgery is in good hands with him!
Verified patient
Great guy
Even though I was confirmed via email a staff member called me and let me know that they did not have that appointment available and if I wanted to be seen I would be treated as a walk in. I waited a very long time, as I was hearing the staff and Dr joking and chit chatting they didn't seem to care that I had a broken bone.
Very polite and easy to deal with.
Took a while for the Doctor to come into the room once the nurse had checked me in. About 30 minutes. But once he got there, he was very friendly and conversational. Did not prescribe any more treatment than needed. Seems to really like his patients! (That might be why the wait was so long...I could hear him laughing and chatting with another patient).
I think they were shorthanded today as it took an hour to see me. Once I got in though the doc was great. All the equipment onsite and very competent. Looking forward to him doing my surgery in a few weeks.
Verified patient
Except for the unexpected wait time, my overall visit was very enjoyable. Dr. Nickson was knowledgeable and showed concern for my ailments. He didn't waste any time in offering a treatment plan to enhance my quality of life. I look forward to my next visit.
Verified patient
He was very knowledgeable and is taking a conservative approach to try and cure my daughter's ankle. He did not leap to surgery right away.
Very professional, answers all questions in detail, easy to talk to, very confident, seems to have plenty of experience and knowledge. His office is very well run with competent and efficient assistants.
Verified patient

One of the best doctor visits I think I have ever had. Extremely personable, great sense of urgency, and cares about the patients needs and concerns. Also has an excellent PA that was just as amazing. Answered any and all questions I had and took excellent care of me. He recently started his own practice and he will be hugely successful!
