Dr. Rick Nishimura's Availability

@rxpert2005
Welcome to Mayo Connect, the members and volunteer mentors on Connect do not work for Mayo and unfortunately cannot answer your question if a specific provider is available.

I searched Connect for discussions about Dr Nishimura, and there was nothing recent.

If Dr Nishimura is still doing consulting, it may be at request of a provider reviewing your case and not at patient request. Even if you do not have a consult with Dr Nishimura, many of the providers in that area were probably trained by Dr Nishimura.

Hope you hear back soon on your request for 2nd opinion.

Great advice and your point of clarity per your role. I was a patient at Northwester Hospital for two different issues when I lived in Chicago admittedly several years ago. Excellent reputation for years.

Would you care to share the names of the MDs who provided the excellent care that you received at Northwestern?

Hi, Dr. Neil Stone who is semi retired is excellent with preventive work. I also have Megan Kelly who does the rest of the work as a transfer of care patient and will see her in August. Please add me to your team these doctors are at Northwestern medicine.

Hello @rxpert2005,

To build on what @roch shared, here is an article about Dr. Nishimura's accomplishments as an alumni Mayo Clinic provider, https://alumniassociation.mayo.edu/rick-nishimura-m-d-receives-mayo-clinic-distinguished-alumni-award/.

If you would like to seek a second opinion at Mayo Clinic, you can start that process here, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63. Mayo Clinic often provides a team based approach to care as a learning hospital.
