About Nicole Gifford NP
Nicole received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Worcester State University in Worcester, Ma. She then went on to obtain her Master of Science in Nursing from Chamberlain University in Addison, Illinois.
She believes that preventative medicine is the best approach to maintaining health and wellness. She utilizes multiple modalities of therapies based on the patient and their input on their care to maximize the patient’s health and prevent illness; always working with her patients and making them a contributing member of their healthcare team.
While working as an RN, she noticed that many patients were repeat admissions. That sparked her interest in becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. In doing so, she could work in preventative medicine and help in the prevention of patients being required to be hospitalized for chronic illnesses. Working in Family Medicine allows her to work with a variety of patients from across the lifespan.
Having grown up in Southeastern Massachusetts, and having been a patient herself of Southcoast Health her entire life, she feels that Southcoast Health means serving the community that she lives in and being a part of its improvement.
Nicole loves sports and played soccer throughout her undergraduate education and continues to enjoy watching and playing with friends. When not at work she enjoys hiking, walking, and kayaking.

Great office, nurses, staff, doctors. They don't have to do any better because they're doing the best. Thank you.
Nicole, the NP, was absolutely great. She asked all the right questions and seemed truly interested in my well-being. She was very competent, knowledgeable and efficient, as well as at the same time being extremely personable, pleasant and upbeat. I was very comfortable with Nicole…and I thank her for making it a very nice experience.
I've seen Nicole a few times now when I'm unable to see my PCP and she's always been extremely knowledgeable and helpful during my visits!
On answering the questions, I made a mistake. It asked me if I was seen in a timely manner. I accidentally hit no and the answer should be yes. I was seen in a timely manner. Okay, that's it.
Saw me early. Listened. Explained my symptoms clearly. Friendly.

From the check in, pre appointment screening with the MA, visit with the NP and check out, everyone was friendly and professional. Great office!!!
Great staff and very convenient.
My answers to some of the questions might be misleading. I was very satisfied with the provider, but she is not my primary care provider and I had never met her before this appointment
Although this visit was my first time with the nurse practitioner, Nicole was very attentive and asked me questions about my symptoms. I was able to ask questions and she answered them in a clear and well understood manner.
Very satisfied. Nicole is very professional, and I really appreciate all her help. Thanks! [Name] [Name]
Everything was amazing today. I was able to get an appointment for both myself and my daughter the same day, 30 minutes apart. We were in and out in less than 40 minutes. The MA, [Name] I believe was her name, was courteous and thoughtful. Nicole was spot on in her treatment. I was particularly impressed with her hand hygiene, something you do not always see providers doing so well. We are fortunate to have a well-run family care center here in Tiverton. Do not change a thing! Thank you.

I have always had cheerful attention and thoughtful diagnoses from this office. It is a long drive for me, but worth it for the quality of care and the beautiful beach view. (Also good for health.) I had not seen Nicole Gifford before, but she was excellent too.

As a returning patient, I met with some resistance and initially no call back. I called again the next day and was finally able to talk with human beings! All changed at that point and I was able to secure an appointment.
Nicole was great. She saw me in a timely fashion, addressed the issue, tried to diagnose my problem based on all the evidence and even touched my foot! She was very attentive, wanted to discuss my issues my length. Finally she has a good sense of humor. Thank you Nicole.
Had to see Nicole as Dr Keigwin was not available, really liked her.
Amazing visit
I am disappointed that I can't call my provider directly. Rather than having to go through the call center. Especially when it's a question that only the office can answer. I have to go to the office to get my questions answered, Luke I did today. It's very frustrating.
Excellent experience. I was in the office within 2 hours of my call. I barely sat down and I was ushered into the examination room. Nicole Gifford was great. She gave a thorough examination and explained my issue in a way that was easy to understand.
They are awesome here
Professional staff from the front desk to the PA and checkout!!
The appointment was in a timely manner
My appointment was timely and blood work was easy and accessible.
