Dr. Karen Nishida, MD

I am extremely particular about my doctors. I need someone I feel total confidence in. I trusted Dr. Nishida 1000%. I was recommended to her by my family physician, my gyn and my cardiologist. My boss had her surgery with her as well and had nothing but glowing comments. I felt she understood my problem and addressed by concerns about surgery. She actually tried to recommend first medical interventions and not surgery. But after I failed medical therapy she agreed it was in my best interest to proceed with surgery. She left it up to me what I felt comfortable with. The surgery was a total breeze. I felt totally back to myself and was back at work in 2 weeks. I know there are no guarantees I surgery but I would have my surgery again and again with this Dr.

I have never felt so rushed by a Dr. She didn’t even take time to answer my questions & I felt like the whole examination was 5 minutes! Also, she always has other people in the exam room , other than the nurse. She doesn’t even ask if you mind! I feel very uncomfortable with other people in the room!

Clinical skills aren’t everything. In the age of patient experience, I’m finding it hard to understand why I’ve had to go through this. Two visits, one in person + the other telemedicine, waited long periods for both with no apology. No explanation for procedures, tests etc. Office staff don’t ask questions and then tell you to fix their errors.

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.

She is rude and did a bad surgery on me

She is very rude and insensitive. Made me feel super uncomfortable and as if I was crazy. She kept dismissing my OBGYN recommendation based on my age, (being young) and that the new guidelines/law doesnt require Pap smears until 25.. maybe why so many Women in the past lost their uterus because of uneducated selfish doctors like her.. I do not recommend her at all. Save your money and do not waste a minute of your time with a doctor like her. As she is an oncology doctor who has no manners. She’s too worried about being audited rather than helping her patients feel more comfortable when they suffer from bad anxiety. She’s literally getting paid hundreds of dollars to have a 10 min video chat and be dismissive and rude. Also, she was late to our video conference and didn’t even think to have her staff contact me to let me know she’s running late. I had to call her staff to get her to connect and once I finally called her office, she connected a couple minutes after.

Dr Nishida is great, not a fan of the office staff. Wait times are also long.

Apathetic Office Staff. Stressful and Clinical Attitude. Indifferent. NO Planetree approach.

Dr. Nishida came recommended by my parent's friend, who had an excellent hysterectomy experience with her. It became clear, during my visit, that Dr. Nishida was the ONLY surgeon for me. I did not knowingly have cancer, but terrible and multiple fibroids with significant and long-term bleeding. Dr. Nishida was thoughtful and proceeded carefully with our plan, and in the end, was very glad I moved forward with my surgery, esp. given the pathology report. It was even worse than we expected. She had me in and out of the hospital quickly and easily, and I had a great experience. I feel better than I have in years. Quick recovery, and she was great with after-care. I had some trouble with hormone patches, and she was always responsive to come up with a better solution. I live in New Jersey, and it was well-worth doing my surgery with someone who was the best for me: not the 'closest' to my house.

I have seen and known Dr. Nishida through the years. I cannot say enough but simply she is truly one of the very best doctors I have ever had. She is caring, knowledgeable, highly skilled and truly provides excellence in her service. I have also referred my family and friends and they truly speak the same volumes of her as well. For this reason, I rate her at a 5 star level.

On the way into the operating room, noticed my platelets were dangerously, unacceptably low. Did the surgery anyway. My hematologist says that was extremely dangerous and I’ll advised and out me at serious risk.

Dr. Nishida is a wonderful, caring Doctor that I would recommend to endless people. She did a full hysterectomy on me and did a flawless job, I could not be happier with the results! Although Dr. Nishida is so great, her secretary, I think her name is Kelly? (not sure if that is correct), comes off very rude for the times I have both called, and come in for visits. If someone is going to be working with cancer patients, they should be more welcoming and compassionate.

Dr Nishida completed a complex hysterectomy for me with flawless execution.

It isn't often that I write reviews, but in this case I feel the need to tell everyone looking for a doctor in Gynecologic Oncology that Dr. Nishida is the absolute best there is! From the moment I was referred to her, she made the experience easy and painless.. I had a full hysterectomy and didn't even need painkillers afterward because of the precision and care Dr. Nashida took. She is incredible- comforting, thorough and patient. Look no further!

Dr. advised a biopsy for an ovarian cyst. Dismissed my desire for a total hysterectomy despite 3 prior cancer diagnosis that included colorectal and breast and melanoma - stating that surgery would be difficult. Went for a second opinion at Yale and a third at Johns Hopkins. Both doctors said you do not biopsy an ovarian cyst due to the chance of seeding (spreading). Both doctors recommended a complete hysterectomy.

Dr. Nishida is an amazing surgeon. She is kind and caring. She takes the time to explain things and answer questions. I felt so comfortable with her, and knew I was in good hands. Highly recommend her to all my family and friends.

Dr. Nishida is an awesome surgeon. Had a full hysterectomy and after the surgery was very little pain. Recovery is quicker than I thought. Excellent Surgeon who I would recommend to everyone!!!
