Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Light Adjustable Lenses work great
I chose Dr Nichols because he was the only doctor in Boulder that had the equipment and training to do the Light Adjustable Lenses. The process went well, but takes more visits. The end result was very good vision.

GET A 2ND OPINION! My daughter has been a pt of this office for 10 yrs. She is now 15 & due to her prescription has always has to wear extremely thick eye glass lens and according to Nicole, the contact lens "specialist" her contact lens were the "best they could do". We never questioned this, and shame on us! She recently walked out of a new eye Dr with glasses & contact lens & immediately started reading license plates, street signs and more! She had no idea everything she was missing. SO SAD
