  • Not having seen Dr. Nicholas for about one year I had a few concerns. He took the time to discuss those and provided reasonable suggestions for my son and I going forward. Dr. Nicholas was most personable and complimentary to my son's and recent accomplishments. We travel a distance since our move and I am grateful that my son has the personal connection with Dr. Nicholas. At his age of 17 it gives me confidence that my son would not hold back if a personal concern.

  • I am very sad to be leaving the practice as my son will be turning 18. The doctors have been great all the years from birth that I have been here with my two boys. They also showed great care and concern for them.

  • I appreciated how Dr Nicholas reassured me about my concerns without making me feel dismissed. He helped put my mind at ease. It's always hard when you have a young baby and as a mom, you worry about every little thing, but he was helpful in assuring me that development happens at all different rates.

  • He really studied my son's chart and realized that he has a pattern of getting sick at this time of year (suggesting allergies). This was such a helpful insight to connect those dots. We really appreciated the level of care provided.

  • Dr Nicholas, as always, was amazing with my son. He definitely listens to my son and I's concerns. My son and I are not always on the same page, however, Dr Nicholas addresses both sides and is a perfect mediator. He is the best pediatrician!

About the Patient Experience Rating System

The Patient Experience Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions shown above from our nationally-recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. We are committed to true transparency. However, to ensure the comments are fair and correctly attributed, we review each one before posting to the website. We exclude entire comments that disclose patient’s protected health information, are off-topic, or include other confidential or inappropriate content. Comments will appear on provider bios only if providers have a minimum number of comments. Comments are shared internally for education purposes to ensure that we are doing our very best for the patients and families for whom we are privileged to care. The comments are submitted by patients and families and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not reflect the views of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
