Dr. Joseph Nichols was born and raised in Atlanta. He graduated from the University of Georgia with a BS in Biology and a MS in Microbiology. He earned his M.D. degree from the Medical College of Georgia in 1986. He completed his general surgery residency and colorectal fellowship at the Ochsner Foundation in New Orleans.
He returned to Atlanta and joined the practice of his father, Dr. Joseph J. Nichols, Sr. in 1992.

He enjoys doing colonoscopies as well as a full spectrum of anorectal procedures.
