  • Dr Nicholson was warm and efficient. I especially appreciated that she spoke directly to my 4 year old and involved her in the care. I am considering switching to seeing her all the time, based on this one sick visit. She was great.

As first time parents it's really nice to feel comfortable and able to get all of our questions answered without judgement or like we are on a time crunch. She really is the best and would recommend her to any family!!
