Because of Dr. Nichols, Maria, Sheila and the rest of the staff, I LOVE my visits every 6 months. I mean who wouldn't love super clean sparkling teeth AND a visit with these folks! The way I think about it is there's a lot I can't control about getting older but my teeth?. with frequent visits I can keep them in top shape!
My whole family have been patients here for 15 years. I was terrified of the dentist, until I met Dr. James Nichols and his staff, he was truly a Godsend, he was patient, and above all he cared and took all my fears into consideration, he helped me through a difficult time with my crown plus other teeth.

I was truly fortunate to find Dr Nichols after my dentist suddenly retired. Not only is he a patient and kind man, but he is the same as a dentist. I moved my teenage son from his pediatric dentist as well and he too agreed. He and his staff are professional, gentle, thorough, understanding and helpful. Dr Nichols weaves the tried and true practices of the past with current techniques based upon today’s standards. If new to Lafayette or even dissatisfied with your current dentist I highly recommend Dr Nichols and his staff. He honestly deserves 10 stars!
