I have had 2 surgeries by Dr Nizzi and each time he was very professional, took time to explain what he was going to do! I would defiantly recommend him to anyone who needed surgery.

I heard about Dr. Nizzy through a family member and decided to get a second opinion about my acid reflux problem. He felt surgery could help. I have been told for YEARS that surgery was not an option for my chronic acid reflux and that the small hitial hernia was not the problem. Dr. Featherstone , who was assisting Dr. Nizzy walked into the room and could see the hiatal hernia on the screen from the doorway. it was large! The nisson fundleplication was a breeze, back to work in 5 days and doing great,! Eating foods I have missed for a long time!!! Great hospital! Great care, munson doctors and hospitals are the only ones for me!!!!
