About
Nicole Vickers is a speech-language pathologist at UK HealthCare who treats voice, upper airway and swallowing disorders. She is also skilled in laryngectomy management and care.
Originally from Evansville, Ind., she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communication sciences and disorders at UK. She has years of experience working with pediatric and adult patients in acute care, home health, and outpatient rehabilitation settings.
Personal Statement
My personal philosophy is rooted in the belief that our voice and ability to swallow are vital components of both our daily functioning and overall quality of life. I recognize the deep connection between these abilities and a person’s relationships and well-being. I approach every individual uniquely in an effort to provide the best, evidence-based care and to help them achieve their specific goals for therapy.
Outside of the clinic, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and staying active. I also enjoy drawing and painting, as I minored in studio art at UK.
