Mark Nickols

"Dr. Nichols was rather quiet when we first met. Very professional and very clear about what was expected of me, and took the time to assure himself that I was not wasting either of our times with ballyhoo.rnrnAs time passed, we both got comfortable and more open. Having had the opportunity to work with many surgeons during my time in the military, I was impressed that Dr. Nichols is not tending toward the primadonna personality that I have experienced with many surgeons. There is no doubt in my mind Dr. Nichols truely believes he is helping people and desires to help us help ourselves.rnrnHis office, and the extended support staff are impressive. They are all \"people\" oriented.rnrnFuture patients should know they are expected to work with the program, meet the expectations of diet and exercise (as the weight goes down your ability to move, flex and bend goes up!) and attend support group meetings.rnrnI had no doubt about the risks before and after surgery. For me, the benefit of the surgery certainly was beyond the risk.rnrnI think Dr. Nichols has very good bedside manner, and his competence is shown through the number of patients he treats and the care he supervises.rnrnI trust him enough that if my mother needed a surgeon - I hope she would get him."
