Specialties
Dr. Nicholas J Persich has the following 2 specialties
- Gastroenterology
A gastroenterologist is a specialist in diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the digestive/gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These doctors are experts on how food moves through the digestive system and is chemically broken down, with nutrients being absorbed and waste excreted. You might see this kind of doctor if you are experiencing any number of stomach issues, some of which might be severe diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids, ulcers, acid reflux, Crohn's disease and more.
- Internal Medicine
An internist is a physician who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the adult population—both acute and chronic.
These doctors are often who adults see as their primary physicians because they treat a broad range of illnesses that do not require surgical or specialist interventions. They also work to help a patient maintain optimal health in order to prevent the onset of disease.
In addition to treating the common cold and flu, internists also treat chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

A,ccidental rating,not qualified to judge hope to get an apptmt comes recommend as excellent by someone I trust very much
I am proud to say I have been a patient of Dr. Persich for 14 years. The Awesome Dr., really cares about his patients.. Dr. Persich has helped me so much through the years to deal with my health issues.. I don't what I would do dealing and coping with my health issues if it weren't for Dr. Persich. He is a God send!
I have advanced GI disease. After reviewing the file from my previous doctor, his staff called to say this doctor wouldn't even see me because I'm too complicated. They suggested I go to the Mayo clinic. If he had actually read my file, he would have known I had already been and just needed a maintenance doctor. He wouldn't even help me with that, nor would he recommend someone.
Dr. Perisch is the Best. I had a severe case of Pancreatitis, I was out of work for 7 1/2 months, I got the absoulet best care from Dr. Persich and DR. Silvers. I have recommended this group to friends of mine and they have said the same thing that I did. When I couldn't see Dr. Persich in the hospital, Dr. Silvers came in he knew as much about me as Dr. Perisch did. They consult one another on their patients, so that they are both up to date. You can't find good Drs. like these two anymore. Their beside manner is wonderful, they always left me smiling.
