I saw the doctor for weight loss and cosmetic reasons. I was getting prepared to get married and had 3 months to lose 42 pounds. The staff was professional and inviting. The site was clean. The wait was about 1 and a half hours with blood work drawn and evaluation with the doctor. After our discussion we decided at our initial visit to use adipex to assist me with my weight loss. On follow up visits, we added other services to get the desired weight loss. She recommended I-lipo with the sauna bed and I was able to obtain the weight loss I needed for me to fit into my wedding gown. I've never been happier or healthier. I purchased a gift certificate for my mother for the I-lipo and sauna bed and have recommended Dr. Nichols to countless peopled.

1) When I entered, I was not welcomed by the front desk and it was only after I approached him did I get service.
2) The man at the front desk was not professional or particularly friendly. He had dreadlocks and he didn't seem to have any prior training as a receptionist. He did not crack a smile once.
3) I was not informed prior to my visit that they were going to take blood work. Not only is this an added cost but also an added anxiety for someone who is afraid of needles. The nurse, however, was very compassionate and did not make me get my blood taken.
4) I had to wait ~45 minutes to be brought back and there was no one in the waiting room so I could not understand what the hold up was.
5) When I was brought back and the whole issue of taking blood was addressed, the nurse walked away and I was left standing there by scales not know what to do. It was awkward.
6) The nurse did not remember my weight.
7) A student came to access me, however, I did not know she was a student until after some time because she did not properly introduce herself. Usually when a student works with a doctor, they are along side their senior and your permission is asked for. After she looked into my ears with that instrument, she used the same piece to look up my nose. Never had a doctor do that before.
8) After waiting another 45 minutes in the exam room, Dr. Nichols came in. She was in the room for 6 minutes total and not once did she examine me, however, she still gave me a dx based off a history she did not obtain nor confirm. She also did not try to establish a client-patient relationship.

Dr. Nichols, please know I posted these comments so that you can improve upon your operation. Through looking at other comments, it is evident that some of your priorities are misaligned. Also know that one of the cardinal rules of business is to not mix it with pleasure, so if the man at the receptionist desk is indeed your boyfriend, perhaps you should reconsider his title in your firm.

Very professional staff and excellent care. Have been seeing doctor for more than 2 years. Initially saw her for botox. Have been back for weight loss and management of my thyroid disease. Have nothing but nice things to say about the staff.

If you want a hoodrich, blonde hay $1 weave disrespectful doctor and teenage staff then come here. I have never in my life experienced such unprofessional care, incorrect medical billing claims that I CAUGHT on my Aetna claim, and dingy medical facility.

I recently relocated to Columbus, OH from the DC area and was in search for an African American female doctor (specifically for weight loss, not PCP). My co-worker referred me to her explaining that she went to her for weight loss and that the weight loss plan/medication she was treated for worked in 3 months. However, my co-worker forewarned me with detail that this doctor was not your typical doctor as far as presentable appearance. She explained that the doctor had an awful blonde weave with visible tracks and thread hanging. Tight fitting body con dresses, and noticeable botox injections. The lobby looked as if it had not been vacuumed since move in and the walls were a yellow dingy color. Not from an intention yellow paint, this was just dirt. The bathroom, pee all on the floor from urine test. No lysol in sight! I thought this to be a bit of an exaggeration BUT this was all true on my 1st visit. SMH.

I can not go into specific detail on every event that happened but I knew I had to end it and am glad I did. Like I said the staff are like teenage girls with attitudes on the phone when scheduling and obviously just working for a check. No care in what they do, say or care of appearance. It is not that much effort to comb your hair in a ponytail and lay your edges down.

If you do decide to come here and take the risk please make sure you view your insurance bill to make sure you are accurately billed for services you ACTUALLY received. I was billed for a test that I did not even take and brought it up with my insurance company. All was resolved but I'm sure that conversation between my insurance was awkward.

Just go to an A+ health grade doctor and do not go the cheap route with this one.

I've been a patient of Dr. Gina's for sometime. She has always been personable, through and accurate in her diagnosis and treatment. All of my family attends her practice and she can be reached by cell phone anytime of the day or night. The facility is neat and the front desk staff is friendly. I found it interesting that one of the bad reviews is from a former friend of mine...Elizabeth M...truly elizabeth Cates aka Pickerington's home wrecker and drug addict. Funny to see a review from her. Probably upset as she was unable to get drugs prescribed. Great doctor!!

The worst doctor I've ever been too!! St Gina take your temperature or check your vitals or your blood pressure although you are charged $108 if you do not have medical insurance. The front desk staff is completely rude unprofessional and filthy dirty looking. Is the office is absolutely filthy. And dr. Nichols herself is completely unprofessional. The worst medical care I've ever received. And don't even think about being friends with her, she will stab you in the back. Send messages on my phone where she made fun of my body she told me I look too manly. She belittle me to no end. She has one nurse in her office I think she's even scared of the doctor. The staff has changed thru out the years. I only take one location that bodes pharmacies that I have used the pharmacist have complained about how unprofessional and rude the staff is trying to get a call back from the office could take weeks while you've been without your meds.

Absolutely the worst doctors office I have ever been.

The place is completely disorganized. The front desks has piles and piles of paper. Potentially our personal and medical information. The walls are covered with posters and computer printed signs.

There's no reason to be on time for your appt as the office is always running an hour or more behind.

Gina Nichols doesn't seem to care about your health concerns, everytime I am in the office, I get asked "can you tell me what you are being seen today for?".

Shouldn't you know that!! You are my doctor.

Absolutely terrible, save time and money by going somewhere else

Terrible experience. Does not address concerns, barely examined me, left me bewildered and in pain and didn't really seem to care.

Will never go back. I need a doctor that cares if I'm in pain and will make sure i understand what has happened to me.

I really love dr.Nichols, she's really sweet. I'm very comfortable with her!
