Patient Reviews
Nov 16, 2023
Excellent doctor. Was very thorough and due to requirement for a chest x-ray prior to surgery I found I had lung cancer. Fortunately, for me it was caught very early and was able to be removed without any other treatments! I am very grateful to Dr. Nix. My knee replacement was postponed for my lung surgery but rescheduled at a later date. Surgery went great. I had no real pain after waking up in recovery. It was awesome. after living in pain for several years this was wonderful!
