Dr. Nakhjo is a wonderful person, great surgeon. He repaired my navel beyond expectations after the pregnancy that left me with a bulging hernia. I highly recommend him, Agnes

Dr. Nakhjo performed my bilateral inguinal hernia surgery and I could not have had a better doctor. He was very thorough, and precise but also communicative, professional, and calming. I am a week into my post-op and the Dr himself called this am to check on me. He is what every Dr should be.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Nakhjo and his office staff. I had a major operation several months ago with him. He was able to perform the procedure minimally invasively and I had a very quick recovery with little pain. He has wonderful bedside manner and is very knowledgable and I felt very comfortable in his care. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
