Patient Reviews
Mar 08, 2023
I saw 3 doctors for evaluation of a ventral hernia. Dr Nishimura was by far the most qualified surgeon who offered the least invasive procedure to resolve my issue. After discussing the other highly qualified doctors recommendations with him, (of which he respectively welcomed their suggestions and did not criticize their professional evaluations), he explained his reasoning for a less invasive solution. Dr Nishimura was 100% professional, he listened attentively, he answered every question I had and really made me feel comfortable about my decision. I would definitely recommend my closest friends and family. Post operation comment, 1 day after surgery and I feel good. I feel exactly like the doctor said I would...I was happy to hear that Dr Nishimura not only repaired the single hernia that was creating a problem, yet also repaired two other smaller hernias. The booking process, the hospital we used, the followup one day after...was all spot on - very professional process.
