Very good
I had a very positive check-up overall. My provider asked thoughtful, relevant questions about both my personal health and family medical history, which made the visit feel thorough and attentive. During the appointment, the doctor also identified that I'm due for a tetanus vaccine and brought it to my attention.
Good interaction.
I felt in good hands with Dr. Nichols. She was attentive, informative, showed concern and kindness. She was also proactive in caring for my future health needs.
I think she was fine, but she wants to refer you to other doctors and not try an address the issue herself.
Dr Nichols is literally the best. She listens, takes ideas, gives ideas and next steps, etc. She communicates afterwards as well, it just isn't in the room.
Dr. Nichols has always been great to work with.
Doc Nichols is the best doc I've seen in my 13 years in Lawrence. She is great.
Good
Good listening
