Paul Nakazato, MD

A Whipple Procedure in described as the single, most difficult surgery that can be performed today. Dr. Nakazato performed this surgery on me about two months ago and I can only say he is the best. A gifted and extraordinary surgeon, he is second to none. I would trust him with any surgery and entrust any of my loved ones to his excellent and wise care! Dr. Nakazato loves to share knowledge and teach his patients and their families, yet he remains fully humble about his boundless knowledge and skills as a surgeon. He truly blessed my life and I will always be grateful to him! Susan Gorman

I was recently diagnosed with a tumor in my cancer. It was detected early when I had a CT for a respitory problem.Dr. Nakazato saw me in a short time after my gastroendonologist(Dr. F. Klein) recommended him.Dr. Nakazato reviewed my case and determined the tumor was resectable.The operation to resect the tumor and remove the spleen was successful.Dr. Nakazato took the time necessary to inform my wife and son of the operation.He was also very good about post operative care.His technique was excellant and I wouldcertainly recommend him.

Dr Nakazato is very caring and takes the time to explain in detail the situation and diagnosis. He will answer all your questions and take as long a need be with you.

I am an ICU nurse who worked with Dr. Nakazato and his patients did extremely well. I am also a patient who was turned down by other surgeons as being too difficult a surgical risk. I was in and out of the hospital with an overnight visit.

Dr Nakazato is an incredibly great doc. He treated my child with the best bedside care any parent could ever want for their child. JKC
