When we first met Dr. Nash, I can't say I was impressed as he kept us waiting for about an hour. However, as we talked during this meeting, I realized that Dr. Nash is very though and will spend time with his patient until the patient completely understand their situation. When I understood this, I knew I was wrong in first assessment of Dr. Nash. He is compassionate, thorough, easy to understand, and his bedside manner is great. But most importantly, Dr. Nash makes sure you never leave his office with questions and encourage you to call if you if you forgot to ask a question.

Dr. Nash is very realistic and straight forward in terms of treatment goals and overall approach. He has an uncanny ability to reassure and encourage his patients, which is extremely important. Succinct in his conversations, he is a very good listener and addresses any medical issues you have with utmost sincerity. A thorough professional, a responsible surgeon and one the finest doctors I have met so far. I very strongly recommend Dr. Garrett Nash for appendix and colorectal cancers.
