Mark Nickols
"<b>Dr. Nichols isn't overly friendly at the first meeting, but was willing to answer questions,gave a good overview of the surgery. We did get into it over my PCP saying to stay away from Tylenol (due to my liver) and him saying that was the only pain medicine I was allowed to take. After I said "So we just shoot the liver?" he became more approachable. He showed up at the hospital early each morning which I appreciated, especially since it allowed me to come home by 11 am on day 2 post-op. He is usually short and sweet on examinations. Of the two choices, surgical competence and bedside manner I chose surgical competence with at least polite respect. I got the added bonus that after the surgery Dr. Nichols is actually very nice and always compliments me on how well I'm doing and looking at the check-ups and such. He even joined our bariatric group softball team."

"The surgical floor had great personal and I'm sure it helped that bariatric patients have dedicated nurses that have had additional training by the surgeons regarding our specific treatment needs."

Douglas McMullin
"He is a super doctor and has been my doctor for 9 years. I'd recommend him to anyone. He doesn't believe in pills, but supports Weight Watchers and the surgery process."

Marilyn Wooley
"Admitted wasn't a supporter of Bariatric Srgery when she started doing pre-surgery interviews. Asked a lot of questions about past and such. Didn't go over the results of a 500 plus questionaire. Just said she wanted me to see a pysch 3 months post op."
