Nicholson Clinic is on your team, but you’ve got to do your part, too. A winning strategy isn’t just about surgery. To beat obesity, stick to the game plan and stay on track with follow up appointments, come see us if you are struggling, and take advantage of our additional “training” options available, like our post-op support group and classes!

You are welcome to contact us at any time, from any location, for any reason, for the rest of your life! We are committed to being with you all the way. Should you have any questions, please contact the Nicholson Clinic office at 972-494-3100.
