Dr Nick is the best! I have been seeing him for almost 5 years now and would not trust anyone else!
He is very knowledgeable in every aspects of health and wellness.
And of course having Joanne in the office with him brings a air of sunshine to your day.
Love you both!
So glad he is back in South Reno!

There is a reason Bearded Dragon Acupuncture has 5 stars! They are amazing! I have had constant sciatic nerve pain in my leg since the day before Thanksgiving in 2024.
