I have been getting eye exams with Dr. Nicholson for over 10 years. He and his Colleague, Dr. Grinstead, are very good. They are very knowledgeable and helpful, even sending followup messages regarding questions I asked during the exam. I also find them to be very personable and caring.

Been going to Dr. Nicholson for many years. He's like my primary care physician for my eyes. He can pick up issues that require specialists, which he has done for me, and then offer referrals. In my experience his referrals are the best.

We have been going to see Dr. Nicholson for 10+ years. He helped us find resources for reduced cost cataract surgery for my mother-in-law. He is excellent at what he does, and COVID precautions in his office are excellent.
