I had a disappointing experience with Dr. Nickerson while the staff was friendly and professional…read morethe interaction with the Doctor was upsetting. Dr. Nickerson was quite negative toward both me and my wife which made the visit very uncomfortable. On top of that, the information we were given turned out to be inaccurate adding to the confusion. What was most upsetting was that Dr. Nickerson told us he would not see us anymore. I understand that not every patient doctor relationship works out, but the way it was handled felt unprofessional and disappointing. I hope this was a one-time issue, as I had expected a more supportive experience.

I don't return to offices where that's the Norm rather than th exception. Its clean. A decent selection of reading material. I generally see Dr Kola as I'm a long established patient. I'm 100% satisfied with the care I receive. As a final note the nurses, MAs, PAs, are out of this world. They can answer almost anything you need to know, and often do yet they still bring it up to the Dr. for the final word. I can highly recommend this office for pain control, and injury assessment, and care.

I'd prefer Dr Cole if possible . The other doctor is fine but the attending nurse although she is probably very experienced lol didn't shut up for a minute.. and it was like diareah of the mouth lol she went on and on about her work experience like a job interview .. and when I'm about to go through a procedure that is not very comfortable I'd prefer calm quiet and the full attention from the doctor and nurse... I couldn't relax with the chatter.. I would suggest perhaps they play some native American flute music or nature sounds during the procedure... and conduct interviews at another time. Please tell them What I said..

The first 3 minutes she looked at…read moremy medical history and said "I will never give you these opiate medicines" that literally have SAVED MY LIFE. I have an average of 9/10 pain with 0-2 quality of life. She's the only one who took my insurance and she was being so mean to me and acting like I was the biggest addict in the world. I even brought MY MOM with me and she's very objective and agreed that she was nasty. She didn't ask me any questions and even said PT will cure my CRPS, which is a LIE. I kindly corrected her and she said "well it's a multifaceted thing" which is true, yet her advice ONLY were about working out. I was in tears in the office after and I saw her laughing with a co-worker. Bad advice and being mean to a kind patient who needs help is evil. Please never, ever go to her unless you want a work out regime and no medicine to help you SURVIVE.

So far they have lied about sending it to one doctor, I hope they will tell the truth this time. Stay away from Stacy Wilson, "Dr." Job and the whole bunch of crooks here. They are spiteful and will deliberately deceive you about your treatment, and change it without telling you. They do not care, beyond their utter hatred for anyone who dares to point out that they made a mistake.
