    How was your appointment with Dr. Nishida?

    Nov 02, 2022
    Dr. Nishida is very patient and kind. She has a very caring heart. She did a fantastic robotic surgery for me and I was on my feet and back at work in no time. I was reassured by other physicians in the area that she is the best at what she does. She was happy to schedule several appointments with me to discuss all of my concerns. At the end, I felt that I was truly seen and listened to. I would highly recommend Dr. Nishida to anyone who needs an excellent surgeon.
