Patient Reviews
Nov 09, 2023
Dr. Nixon operated on my 80yo father who has multiple comorbidities: heart disease, & kidney disease. Dr. Nixon was thorough, caring, and followed up when we called with concerns. Three years later, my Dad is doing great, getting on and off his big tractor, hauling hay, going bass fishing, and taking evening walks. I would not hesitate to have Dr. Nixon as my surgeon.
