In 2018 Dr. Nash successfully performed an emergency laparotomy to correct my obstructive type 2 paraesophageal hernia with gastric volvulus. His skillful and timely surgical intervention saved my life. Words fail to express my deep appreciation!

Mr. Nash was very friendly initially. I explained to the doctor how important it was to me that the surgery would end with a minimum scar. I was early when I return for my first post operative visit. I saw the doctor standing near a room further down the hall. I was ushered into a room a nurse came in unwrap the area and told me that it was healing well. I asked to see the doctor. She explained to me that it was healing well and left the room. I waited 23 minutes. The doctor never came in. Never called later to apologize. Yea he is good to get you in ...his follow up leaves a lot to be desired.
