Patient Reviews
Jul 02, 2024
Be forewarned: Unless you have the first appointment of the day, or the first appointment after lunch, you'll probably have a wait. But that's because Dr. Nik (as we longtime patients affectionately call him) takes time with each of his patients, and will NEVER, ever rush you. He genuinely cares about all facets of you, so he'll ask about any and everything that could possibly impact your physical and emotional well-being; his advice is pure gold, and he's just as nice - and full of personality - as his photo implies. I do see other reviews mention his office, and, like any other provider, it has had ups and downs, but some front desk staff, nurses, and the insurance coordinator (VERY important if you're an HMO patient) have been there forever, so there's continuity, and scheduling is SUPER-easy in MyChart. I live in fear of the day he retires! Trust me, care from Dr. Nik is MORE than worth ANY wait.
