I’m proud to say that Dr. Nishimine delivered me 35 years ago. Whenever my parents recall the day I was born, they speak of Dr. Nishimine and how wonderful it was to have him as the ObGyn

Dr. Nishimine or "Nish" as most of us call him has been my ob/gyn for almost 40 years. He delivered my daughter by c section. I didn't have any problems and my scar is tiny and right on the bikini line, so no show! He visited me every day is was in the hospital and chatted for awhile. I had an MRI a few weeks ago ordered by a surgeon. In the follow up appointment the surgeon who ordered the MRI told me everything was fine. Nish who received a copy of the report called me to say something is going on with my left lung, possible from radiation and I should follow up on that and to call him. Nish is a very experienced doctor who you can count on. And he is very personable. I noticed his custom ukulele and he serenaded me with several songs.

Asked for a second opinion re a pelvic organ prolapse. Dr. N performed a full exam (unnecessary). Turned out his diagnosis was wrong. I had four opinions overall. So needless to say I was disappointed.

He has the three best traits: availability, ability and I cannot remember the third one, but he is the best!!

"Nish" is a great doctor. He is very skilled. He performed a partial hysterectomy on me 20 years ago, and he's so well respected that the Dr. I went to for a 2nd opinion offered to assist him in the surgery!
