Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
Patient Comments

- October 6, 2022 Compassionate and understanding
- September 27, 2022 It's a little pre-mature to give real opinions, but so far everything seems great
- September 17, 2022 Dr. Nicola is one of the kindest providers I have ever met. She is professional, attentive and truly cares.
- August 29, 2022 professional, caring and concerned
- August 16, 2022 Dr Nicola is very friendly but also professional. She's good at helping me set goals and leads me along as this is what I told her I needed; not just friend saying that they're really sorry for what I'm going through. I need the professional advice.
- August 11, 2022 Laid back, not pushy. Friendly
- July 14, 2022 Very caring. Explains next steps
- July 7, 2022 Dr Nicola is very compassionate and empathetic to my problems and is very kind and helps me anyway she can when other providers won’t. I’ve had problems getting medications she knows I need very much & helps me.

- May 24, 2022 Dr. Nicola is one of the kindest providers I have ever had. With the health system rapidly changing, finding a doctor who cares, is rare! I am so glad to have Dr. Nicola as one of my doctors.

- April 12, 2022 Dr.Nicola is kind, concerned and truly listens
- April 5, 2022 Receptionist was friendly and Ellen has a welcoming personality, friendly, and perspicacious. Everybody wants a quick fix and I'm no different. I'll just have to accept the fact these things take time. I do have some concerns about the sustainability of the expenditure of the care and have spoken with someone at Atrium Health billing. They suggested I inquire as to grants or discounts offered and suggested I contact the billing department at the Behavior Health office. My attempts to reach them by phone have been unsuccessful and I have not had a call back after leaving a message on the voice mail.
- April 2, 2022 I am completely satisfied with her professionalism and ability to help guide me through this emotional process to a healthy alternative.
- March 18, 2022 Pleasant, easy to communicate with, knowledgeable and professional.
- March 16, 2022 Dr. Nicola is very insight and ask good question that help me to dig deep into myself on why I think or react the way I do. She offers exercises and ideas that help me to work through my struggles.
- February 26, 2022 Dr. Nicola is by far the best therapist I have ever had. She listens, is compassionate, and truly helps me through some difficult situations. I would definitely recommend Dr. Nicola. Good doctors should be recognized and celebrated, because all are not like that. She is absolutely amazing!!!
