- Amazing doctor! Listened to me patiently and handled my worries professionally.
- Eye stuff is scary, and Dr. Nicholson really takes the time to explain everything, go through options and answer all the questions. I never felt rushed or confused, or like I was being a pain (and I probably was). It's really calming when faced with bad stuff you can do it in a caring and helpful environment. And he really knows his stuff, I'm confident I was seeing (pun intended) the best man for the job. All staff were lovely and kind, but special shout out to Caroline, she's a gem. Thank you!
- Highly recommend Mr Luke Nicholson. I travelled from Ireland for a second opinion and his exceptional expertise correctly diagnosed my condition. He is incredibly professional, kind and patient - absolutely second to none. Thank you!
- My experience at the clinic was professional thoughtful and caring. I have no negative criticisms and would recommend both the Doctors and clinic.
- Mr Nicholson was so very helpful, reassuring and friendly. Whereas Boots Opticians had told me that there was little that could be done to deal with my condition, Mr Nicholson recommended treatment which would help overcome it. My despair was turned into real hope ans I am now progressing his suggested treatment by asking my GP to refer me to the Moorfields Unit at Potters Bar for the appropriate Treatment Thank you so much. Mr Nicolson!
- Amazing doctor who takes the time to really listen to a patient and gives advice is a friendly and reassuring manner. That still voice of calm that you want and hope for in a doctor.

- Mr Nicholson is a skilled, kind and compassionate doctor. I wholeheartedly recommend.
