I was referred to Dr. Nickel by my out-of-state specialist, who has been treating me for a rare genetic disorder. I needed a local allergist's help to file for insurance coverage and later administer injections.
Dr. Nickel barely listened to me. Then his staff took a month to file the request for coverage with our insurance company (and come to find out later - under a wrong diagnosis code)! When it was denied, I was told they would file an appeal. For the following 5 weeks I spoke with the clinic's staff, both in person and over the phone, and was assured that the appeal was "well underway". Imagine my shock when I found out that the appeal had never been filed. Dr. Nickel didn't deem it worth his time.
Because of Dr. Nickel's lack of compassion, professionalism and integrity I am months into waiting for the treatment, and not a step closer to getting it.
