Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent surgery procedure
Dr Nien was referred to me by my primary care physician for inguinal hernia surgery. I had one pre-op appointment where he was able to feel the hernia. The entire surgery was done successfully in about an hour and there was minimum pain from the incisions afterwards. I took one pain pill the night after the surgery and none since. My post op appointment was without incident. Dr Nien said that all went perfectly well and that I'd be able to resume all activities in about a month.

Compassionate and Highly Skilled Doctor
Dr. Nien did a great job of getting rid of my tumor and putting me back together. He is compassionate, explains everything concisely, spends time with you and is probably among the best in his area of oncology expertise. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!

I had a massive ventral hernia. Dr. Nien was wonderful. He put me at ease right away and he fixed it. I have already referred my son-in-law to hi and Dr. Nien took care of his problem also.
