Dr. Nicklas was extremely friendly, thorough, knowledgeable and seemed genuinely interested in my well being. He took the time to listen to all my concerns and answered all my questions, without trying to rush me out the door. HIGHLY recommended!

Dr. Nicklas always makes sure that he has answered all questions before concluding the appointment, and he also summarizes any actions for him or me to take. He is very thorough in asking questions as well as explaining why he is asking (what potential issues he is pursuing).

Dr.Nicklas is a dear and he took great care of me! He took good notes of all of my symptoms while providing clear and detailed options for my care. He took his time and was very attentive. Would completely recommend!
More than 1 year agoAster H.Verified patient
I was taken to see the Dr. immediately when I got into the office. His exam was very thorough (45 minutes, most of which was with him and the nurses) and he ensured me that we would work to figure out my nut allergy. I have been to many doctors in my life, but he was one of the kindest and most understanding! Highly recommend!

Excellent doctor!
April 9, 2019Rose M.Verified patient
Dr. Niklas is one amazing doctor. His knowledge and years of experience truly show in how he understands a patient's needs, and what recommendations would make a difference to me. I did have to wait a long time to be seen (30 minutes) but when I met him, I realize why there was a wait. He took so much time getting to know me and my medical history, and took a long time explaining my care plan and making sure my questions were answered. He did not rush, and gave me his time and attention. He was so very thorough in his exam and his explanations. I believe he gives the same amount of time to each of his patients. He also provided numerous options (phone numbers) to make sure I am able to reach him when I need to. I highly recommend Dr. Niklas and his office.

Excellent.
More than 1 year agoTD
Dr. Nicklas is one of the nicest doctors I've ever met! He reviewed all of my history in person and repeated things to answe he understood correctly. He took his time and answered all of my questions, and gave me his office and personal number for me to contact him w/ follow up if I need to. Also he's part of MFA so had access to all of my prior medical records which was extremely helpful.
