About Yelena Sorokina Nicholson

Professional Statement

Dr. Nicholson is a pediatric endocrinologist at Dayton Children's. She attended Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine to receive her DO. She completed her residency at Good Samaritan/Winthrop Hospital in Long Island, NY, then her pediatric endocrinology fellowship at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, New York. Dr. Nicholson is passionate about caring for children with diabetes, and helping kids achieve a healthy weight. She enjoys working at Dayton Children's because it is small enough that every child receives personalized care, but large enough to provide the best, modern treatments.

        The Doctor and Nurse were very kind and gave me alot of very informative information which I'm so thankful for, because this is my first time being a parent and a first time parent with a child with Type 2 Diabetes. It can be quite intimidating without the knowledge and insight on how to handle things with a teenager that at one point in time was against change, now he's all for it. I'm so thankful for his village of professional care givers at Children's in Dayton

        Dr. Nicholson is a wonderful person. She actually sits down and explains things for my son to understand. He's kind of delayed, I should say. She is wonderful. I like her a lot. All around a 10, a star, 10 star. There are all the nurses and people that call us in and everything. Everybody is very polite. Dr Nicholson is polite. I just love coming to children's because everyone is so nice and polite.
