My mom who is now 91 was under the care of Dr. Nichols colleague, Dr. Aubrey Mamby @ Medical Associates formerly located @ 3233 S. King Dr, Chicago. All the physicians there were absolutely wonderful and we are so honored to have met Dr. Nichols during that time. Our prayers go out to his family / friends and may he rest in power. Amen.

Just found out about Dr Nichols after watching a commercial for Oak Street Health. I googled him and found out he passed. He was my doctor for over 20 years. He was an excellent doctor. Professional, compassionate and thoughtful. Rest well, Dr. NIchols.

Dr. Nichols was one of the finest attending physicians that I ever learned under and served under. It is for him that I am now serving as a physician in Ocean Springs Mississippi after completing a one-month preceptor ship in Tylertown Mississippi as a resident. He was clearly a great mentor and friend. May the blessings of Almighty God descend upon him forever, amen

"Well done thy good and faithful servant..."
On behalf of Janet,Willie and April Moore our hearts are both heavy and saddened upon hearing about your passing. What can you say about a man who wasn't just a doctor, husband, father, grandpa or sibling...but a true, genuine, compassionate soul. Dr. Nick was our family physician for too many years to count and the relationship he had with all of us transcended your typical doctor-patient relationship. If we had a BBQ or birthday party, he was there....everyone was important to him and his kindness extended to ALL who knew him. We know as believers his work on this side of the Jordan was complete, but there will always be a tremendous amount of sadness knowing he is no longer physically here with all of us. To his family, we LOVE you and you have our deepest condolences and sympathies.
Rest in Eternal Power...Ase'
