Testimonials

With expertise in modern conventional medicine combined with alternative approaches such as acupuncture, nutritional/ herbal therapy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Nichols has provided my furry family members with a wide range of treatments and long-term wellness care which were not available to them through other more traditional veterinary practices.

What is so great about his approach to his practice is that he does not favor one approach over the other. He is just as likely to recommend a traditional procedure or medicine as he is to recommend an alternative one based on an in-depth diagnosis and what he thinks is best for the health of my pet in the short and long term. I have complete confidence in his recommendations because I have seen my pets thrive under his care.

We have been going to Dr. Nichols for many years and could not be more pleased with his love & compassion for our papillon girls. Our Sadie has been having seizures for over 9 years and he has managed to keep them under control. We must honestly say that all credit for our girls still living happy lives is due to Dr. Nichols. He is the most compassionate vet we have ever had. We drive over an hour one way just to see Dr. Nichols and he will always be our vet. We feel so blessed to have him!

Vickie & Ted Magers

Dr. Nichols is exceptional. He has been our vet since 1995 and we have followed him everywhere his career has taken him, near and far. He goes above and beyond to treat his patients with the highest quality of care and cares not only for the animals, but their owners as well. He is not only an excellent vet, but he is an exceptional human. We highly recommend!

I am currently a retired Marion County Sheriff Deputy, assigned to the K-9 Unit with my bomb dog K-9 Reno, a lab. Before my retirement, K-9 Reno and I worked side by side every day. One day he could not get up and would not eat. The department’s veterinarian diagnosis was grave, hemangiosarcoma, stomach cancer, and imminent death within the week. The medical protocol called for me to put Reno down immediately. I could not follow such protocol immediately. Reno deserved to be taken to the comfort of his home surrounded by his loving family holding him. It was suggested, I give him Yunnan Baiyao, a Chinese herb to give him a few more days. Read More

Several years ago, I was introduced to Dr. Steve Nichols when I became a board member for the Hamilton County Humane Society. I was immediately impressed by his compassion and dedication especially to the homeless and sick animals at the shelter. My dogs have always been a huge part of my life and I knew this was exactly the type of care I wanted for them. He has an amazing ability to put both the patient and owner at ease (and in my case that is not always easy!) In all the years I’ve taken my pets to Dr. Steve Nichols, his diagnostics have been 100% accurate in every case, he has always started with a very conservative approach. I have referred so many of my friends to his practice and they all feel the same way……he is absolutely the best!

I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Nichols. After two years of failed attempts to help my young dog Charlie, a friend referred us to Dr. Nichols who pinpointed Charlie’s disease on our first visit! We are grateful for Dr. Nichols’ unique and integrated approach – the combination of traditional medical and holistic care has helped Charlie to thrive and function well within the context of his condition. Dr. Nichols’ kindness and his highly skilled, practical, creative and very responsive care have been an enormous blessing to Charlie and our whole family.
