Dr. Nick Nicholson Selected as D Magazine Best Doctor Third Year in a Row

Nicholson Clinic Founder Among Best Bariatric Surgeons in Dallas
DALLAS--(Business Wire)--
Nicholson Clinic founder, Dr. Nick Nicholson, is one of the Best Bariatric
Surgeons in Dallas, according to D Magazine`s annual list of Best Doctors. The
2009 list of Best Doctors in Dallas showcases the top 729 physicians in 40
specialties as voted on by their peers.

"Being recognized as one of the top bariatric surgeons in Dallas for the third
year in a row is an honor I am very proud of, mainly because it is voted on by
my peers in the medical community," said Dr. Nicholson. "With obesity rates in
Texas climbing yearly, I strive to provide my patients with the care they
deserve to best support optimal health, and for fellow physicians to take notice
must mean that I am doing something right."

Obesity has become an epidemic with more than 36 percent of the population of
the state of Texas morbidly obese. A specialist in multiple advanced bariatric
procedures, including gastric bypass, Lap-Band surgery and sleeve gastrectomy,
Dr. Nicholson believes that each patient's unique needs require individual and
customized treatment as laparoscopic weight loss surgery can prevent, reduce and
often eliminate health conditions, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes,
high blood pressure, sleep apnea, weight-bearing arthritis and asthma.

Board certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery, Dr.
Nicholson is a member of the American College of Surgeons and is the medical
director of weight loss surgery programs at Baylor University Medical Center at
Dallas, Baylor Plano and Forest Park Medical Center.
