Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Dr. Nickerson is nothing short of amazing and we love her! She has been out pediatrician for almost 10 years with both of our children and I could be more grateful! Thank you for all you do to ensure that we are knowledgeable and comfortable with every appointment with you. Honestly if I could have her as my personal PCP I would see her as well!

Dr Nickerson is always so kind and thorough. I always feel listened to as a parent and also as though she's asking all the right questions to make sure she's got the full picture of what is going on with my kiddo. She takes her time and makes my daughter feel comfortable before she performs any exams. We are so appreciative of Dr Nickersons services and bedside manner and kindness. Scott and White is lucky to have such an incredible doctor!
