Dr. Nichols' goal is to provide outstanding dental care while maintaining an old fashion family atmosphere. We have been extremely fortunate to serve many wonderful patients, their families and in many cases it has become multi generational, which was always Dr. Nichols' dream. Dr. Nichols volunteers her services at the Spanish Catholic Center Dental Clinic and in 2021 she was named the Clinical Service Volunteer of the Year, an honor that she is extremely proud of.
In her spare time Dr. Nichols enjoys spending time with her family, in particular her grandchildren. She also loves cooking, traveling, reading and photography.
