Patient Reviews
Aug 03, 2023
I accompanied my friend during several visits to Dr. Nitka to discuss surgery. He is an attentive, open to questions, and took his time with the exams and explanations. Excellent bedside manner before and after surgery. Visits to hospital were informative, engaging and compassionate. I would trust Dr. Nitka with my own surgery.
