Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Absolute Best
Dr Nishimura performed a flawless ESD procedure on me. While other surgeons ( not at MSKCC) seemed overwhelmed at my condition, Dr Nishimura had the experience and skills to accomplish a very difficult task. He also is very polite and informative which helped put our minds at ease. MSKCC is one of the best hospitals in the world, and Dr Nishimura is right up there as well.

Dr N removed a large precancerous adenoma in my duodenum. Previously I was told from other specialists that I needed major surgery or the procedure would have to be removed a little at a time . Either option could not guarantee a positive outcome. Dr Nishimura removed the entire adenoma endoscopically at one time. No risk of this precancerous polyp growing back between “piece meal “ removal. I am so grateful to Dr. Nishimura and his team . I will forever be thankful for this doctor’s experience ,knowledge,and kind bedside manner .
