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.

He did a wipple surgery on me, when my husband and I walked into his office he proceeded to draw out a diagram of what he wanted to do. Explaining each step. What he needed to remove, resection and put me back together. He impressed us with his knowledge and empathy for his patients. I lost him after my surgery. Which was disappointing but understandable. I would give a recommendation for any of my family or friends. He was a true blessing to me and my family, during a scary time.

My surgery was in June 2018. I was told by staff my insurance was notified and I was set up for the procedure. I'm now finding out that Dr Nakeeb & the hospital are out of network. I'm very confused, I believed in good faith, having been told this was checked on before I was given a surgery date. HELP!!!

Dr. Nakeeb performed surgery on my daughter after she had 2 unsuccessful surgeries done by another surgeon. My daughter was scared and Dr. Nakeeb went above and beyond to comfort, re-assure and give her confidence. The surgery was very complicated and was successful. After surgery he was very re-assuring, kind and sensitive to not only her feelings but mine as well. I am so thankful for Dr. Nakeeb as he took on a difficult situation and was able to restore my daughter to good health!

He did surgery on me 3 times in the last 10 years and I can't say enough good things about him. He is a caring doctor and takes care of his patients.

I had a partial pancreatic organ removal. Dr. Nakeeb and his entire staff overwhelmed me with care! Beginning with information, then pre-op, the surgery and after care follow up, I couldn't have asked for more. Beside the normal hopeful outcome, I had another specific personal goal outcome to allow me to continue with a hobby. The info was shared with the staff and several shared their knowledge and encouragement, which showed me their attention to detail.

Dr. Nakeeb is the only Dr who in 7 years of pain could figure out what needed to be done to make me feel better! He listens and understands what your saying and feeling. He goes above and beyond. His office staff is Amazing as well always have a smile on their faces and just make you feel not so crummy. I would absolutely send anyone to see Dr. Nakeeb in a split second.

He was my surgeon and performed the Whipple surgery. He is awesome!! He is a very mature and experienced physician and knows what he is doing. He took the time with me to answer questions and made me feel very comfortable and confident. I would recommend him to anyone needing this surgery.
