Richard Nickowitz MD

One of the most competent, thorough and caring physicians I've had, In my case, a very careful follow-up after a bout with acute pancreatitis and related gastric bypass surgery, which he followed up with an endoscopy to determine whether the surgical region was functional and the pancreas had resumed its normal shape. Similar careful and personal attention to my wife's condition and her own auto-immune issues affecting her digestive system. For both of us, never patronizing but always taking the time to describe details carefully.

The prospect of a colonoscopy is always stressful, but Dr Nickowitz and his staff were incredibly supportive and encouraging. The process was professional and supportive from start to finish. Highly recommend.

I had my 1st colonoscopy and like most people, was pretty apprehensive at 1st. Due to Covid, I had to have a teleconference with Dr, Nickowitz and right off the bat he made me feel comfortable & at ease. I love that you could order your prep kit online and have it delivered to your house. Everything that was needed, was included. The prep wasn't too bad. I expected way worse The actual procedure was a piece of cake. Everyone in the facility was so nice, comforting & professional. The procedure was quick and easy. Dr. Nickowitz met with me to go over the findings before I left. I would highly recommend Dr. Nickowitz and his team.

**UPDATE**
I just recently had an endoscopy done with Dr. Nickowitz. Once again, he was extremely professional, excellent bedside manner. Went over the results before I left and called me on his offtime with the results of my biopsy. Dr. Nickowitz and his team always make you feel at ease. Once again, I highly recommend

Dr. Nickowitz is a caring, professional, and highly experienced doctor. He is a good listener, paying attention to details before making a diagnosis. I have entrusted him for procedures successfully performed with the utmost care and competence. I highly recommend Dr. Nickowitz and his staff for my gastroenterological care without reservation.

An update to a previous review... Dr. Nickowitz performed two successful procedures earlier this year. Since I was having a minor related issue, he promptly returned my call, listened to me, and updated my medications. I have been doing well since that time and would not hesitate to seek his help and advice when needed. I continue to recommend Dr. Nickowitz and his staff for my care.

There is only one thing to tell you about Dr. Nickowitz -- he is so good that you should do whatever you can to have him as your gastroenterologist. He is a brilliant diagnostician, a caring human being, and at the very top of his field not just in the local area but in the state! Perhaps in the world! :-) Having a colonoscopy can be scary and so people tend to put it off, but they sure shouldn't. It is one of the most important diagnostic tools used in medicine and is pretty 100% accurate about what is going on. I have had two, both with Dr. Nickowitz and the last one included an upper GI. First, at the appointment to see him before any procedure, when you talk with Dr. Nickowitz, he really, really listens, and is calm, and gentle, and also super intelligent. He takes his time but he also gets right down to next steps once he has heard your symptoms or issues. This is the kind of person you want doing something like sticking a probe and camera "you now where", my friends -- a calm, gentle, take his time, and brilliantly intelligent specialist. I have the past several years seen a lot of doctors and specialists, and there are few that I would recommend to every one and anyone without any reservations -- Dr. Nickowitz is that doctor that I would recommend wholeheartedly and without reservation.
