Kendall James Nichols, MD

I am having difficulty sleeping through the night and I have a new CPAP machine. Dr. Nichols provided me with excellent advice about what to do when I wake up (get out of bed, disconnect CPAP and take head gear off, go to a quiet place and read, e.g., something boring). It worked! He also suggested a change on the CPAP machine which also made a difference. He 1 hr and was able to make the adjustment. For the last 2 weeks sleep time has increased by 1 hour and sometimes 2 hours.

Care and concern and I can tell he puts a lot of thought into what his next step is going to be. Always available on portal too

Dr Nichols is impressive. I really appreciated the time he took with me and to come up with potential solutions

Excellent doctor, took a lot of time and attention to my situation. I was extremely pleased. You have some of the very best doctors/nurses at Emory. This is why I continue to go even though it is a very long wait to get in. That Is my only complaint. They need some help.

Dr. Nichols was amazing and made me feel like I was part of the decision-making process.(Many doctors can be annoyed by patients who have made much effort to learn so they could advocate for themselves. Not Dr Nicholas.)

My sleep issues are a bit complicated, so our discussion evolved in natural and relevant ways. The doctor listened, asked good follow up questions, talked with me about different options, and we settled on a treatment plan. Textbook.

Dr Nichol's explanations were clear and free from medical jargon Excellent discussion.

I was very pleased with Dr. Nichols.

We agreed on how to move forward with care.

Dr. Nichols was great!!! He listened, gave a great overview of options, was VERY knowledgeable and understanding.

Dr Nicholes was excellent!! He explained many things that helped me understand what was happening. He was patient and answered questions. I felt heard, respected, cared about, and like he genuinely wanted to help me get better. I trust him

My first sleep apnea conference with D Nichols was a stellar success. He is simple an exceptional physician replete with friendliness, complete knowledge of sleep apnea, empathy and wonder clarity for giving complex information. I hit the jack pot.

Good

Dr. Nichols evidences himself to be an extraordinary professional care provider. He Is an exceptional listener; and while sharing his medical expertise, he makes room for questions and input as he provides information as well as an explanation. I'm beyond certain that he is genuinely concerned about my well being and will offer recommendations to assure the best possible outcomes.

Dr Nichols really cares. Good listener. Probably spent TOO MUCH time with me. But I'm better off having learned from him. Great practitioner.

Dr. Nichols patiently listened to all my questions and thoroughly explain my diagnosis. He was wonderful.

Dr Nichols was very engaged, showed concern, listened, explained, and seemed knowledgeable. Excellent bedside manner.

Dr Nichols was very detailed which I appreciated.

I would have said 5 based on my experience at the time. But Dr said I'd hear from sleep people next week. It's over 2 weeks now and still counting. Also, no notes or summary posted on mychart. I've never had that issue before with other doctors.

I am blessed to be Dr. Nichols' patient. He is knowledgeable, punctual, and, most importantly, a caring doctor who treats you in the best way possible. Once he enters the room, he is prepared and remembers what was said in the last session, and checks on the improvements. In the short time that I have been under his care, my restless leg problem has been under control, and I feel like my restless leg does not exist any longer. I have had a restless leg problem for many years, and I was under the care of a more seasoned doctor for a long time, but he could not help me bring the agony under control. However, after his retirement, Dr. Nichols became my doctor, and I cannot be happier and cannot say enough about him. He is one of a kind who could be a role model for a lot of other doctors, who see patients as just a number, but not for Dr. Nichols. He is just a great doctor who cares about his patients' well-being and never rushes you to get to the next patient. I want to emphasize that Dr. Nichos cares about his patients, and I could see the same attitude passed down to his nurses.

Dr. Nichols was excellent, thorough and really made sure I understood everything impacting my care

I don't know where to start talking about Dr. Nichols. Dr. Nichols' addition to the sleep center is one of the best things that could have happened at Emory. I can not say enough how wonderful Dr. Nichols is. He is knowledgeable and his mannerism, patient and caring create easy and trusting environment for the patients. You never feel you are just a number, and he is trying to get to the next patient. The majority of my doctors are at Emory, and I rate Dr. Nichols as one of the best. I always feel I am in good hands with Dr. Nichols

Dr Nichols has a wonderful "bedside manner". I highly recommend him.

Excellent doctor, well prepared, well informed, good listener, respectful, caring.

Doctor is very knowledgeable and understanding of my situation and provided me with excellent information to move forward with.

I do not have any bad experience. My experience with this doctor is very Great

Dr. Kendall Nichols is the most caring doctor I have ever known. He has always been compassionate, empathetic, and knowledgeable.

Gave me a lot of time.

He is really great, but just sometimes I get the feeling he is removed or disconnected. Like a little too clinical and not empathetic and emotional enough. He a scientist and Im a scientific problem.

Dr Nicholls always listens and shows concern. He is always very genuine and compassionate.

Dr Kendall is a throw back provider, you can send and feel his desire to provide the absolute best care, insights and informed treatment options/recommendations.

Dr. Nichols is a very careful and patient doctor, who provided me with comprehensive information about his thoughts and conclusions regarding my OSA. After this initial consultation, I have complete confidence in continuing this doctor-patient relationship.

Very individualized. No rush through the conversation and the questions very pleased.

As always, Dr. Nichols was outstanding. He is thorough, kind, caring, and compassionate. He has a wonderful sense of humor and always leaves my husband and me smiling when we leave. Dr. Nichols consistently goes above and beyond. Emory is fortunate to have him.

Doctor said what he needed to say according with previous test and listen. Just right!!

Dr. Nichols was extremely patient and respectful. He allowed me time to talk through all of my concerns, then carefully explained all of my treatment options. When I began to feel anxious or fatigued due to my condition, he kindly reassured me that I was doing ok and that made a world of difference in my ability to make it through the appointment. I am deeply grateful for the exceptional care and support I have received during each visit.

Dr Nicholas was very knowledgeable and explained to me in detail how certain medications worked for treatment of narcolepsy worked. Also the appointment was not rushed and he was very kind and listened to my every question and concern

I don't where to start to talk about Dr. Nichols. I was doctor Rye's patient for many years but never overcome the problem, however; the level of attention and care doctor Nichols shows is unbelievable. He is young, energetic and most important, he cares about his patient. He took his time to answer my question and figure out the best solution for my health. I have been to many doctors but I put Dr. Nichols as the best I have experience with.

Appreciated the doctor's willingness to listen; hate that I cannot directly contact the clinic where he works.

I can't tell you how thoughtful and thorough Dr. Nichols has been in managing my case!

This was my first visit with Dr. Nichols and I can not express how impressed I was with level of his professionalism, knowledge, manor and thoroughness. Dr. Nichols, despite of his busy schedulle, listened and discussed what we can do going forward. The level of care he showed, unfortunateley you can not find it in many doctors these days. I am very appreciative with his level of care and I know I am in good hands with him treating my Restless Leg Problem. Way to Go, Dr. Nichols

Dr Nichols is an amazing doctor and person! He cares about his patients!

If I could give Dr. Nichols a higher rating I would! I am 64 years old and have never had a doctor that cares about his patients like Dr. Nichols !

Patient friendly very good

Dr. Nichols is really great! I am very happy that he is now my established sleep specialist. I really only have positive comments about my experience as his patient. He engages me in shared decision making and is open to hearing and considering my preferences when developing a treatment plan. I am very happy that he is responsive to me when I have follow-up questions after my visit through MyChart. I also like that he uses the recording device for his notes, rather than typing as we go throughout the appointment. I noticed he is really engaged throughout the encounter and not just looking at the computer, which I appreciate. Finally, I think it is really great that I never feel rushed during my appointments - he takes the time to talk about all concerns I have and is good at politely redirecting the conversation when I get too long winded! Overall, I feel lucky that I finally found a sleep specialist that understands what I am going through with my narcolepsy diagnosis.

Caring, informative, lots of choices. Will recommend to friends and family

Doctor Nichols is the best! He goes out of his way to answer any questions I have and explains treatment!

He really cared about helping me and was very thorough. He listened to me

He is one of the most compassionate providers I've been around in a while and he actually listened to what I said. He heard me and asked follow up questions to make sure he actually understood what I was saying. He also cares about all of the issues and how they might play a role in my sleep disorder. He's a great provider!

I am extremely happy with Dr. Nichols manner during my appointments and with the care he provides.
