“Had bilateral inguinal hernia surgery on 1/6/2026. Dr. Nakhjo was awesome throughout the process, answering all my questions and putting my mind at ease every step of the way. The process was pretty fast (45 minutes or so for each side). 2 weeks in, I thought there was an issue with the incision, so the doctor asked me to send a picture of the area. He responded within minutes, putting my mind at ease and telling me everything looked perfect. Great experience all around. I highly recommend Dr. Shomaf Nakhjo for hernia surgery.”

“Traveled 4+ hours to see Dr. Nakhjo, and it was great decision. I am 65 years old. I had a right inguinal hernia. I wanted a Shouldice hernia repair. After searching, Dr. Nakhjo was the closest surgeon that had expertise in that method. … I would highly recommend Dr. Nakhjo. The entire experience was just what I was hoping for. Well worth making the trip. Thank you, Dr. Nakhjo.”

“The doctor’s assessment was candid and easy to understand. Their office also provided a guide and encouraged me to follow it. They were right — the recovery was very uncomfortable. But knowing what to expect made all the difference. That preparation helped me manage the discomfort and stay confident throughout the process.”
