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.

Never makes you feel like you are being rushed, pleasant and takes time to make sure you understand what is happening. Will listen to you and your concerns. Would recommend this Dr. for any surgical needs.

Dr Aaron Nilhas, MD and his staff, both pre & post op were outstanding from start to finish! They were incredibly accommodating to all of my patient needs, making me feel very comfortable and well taken care of throughout my entire procedure! As a first time patient who is new to the area, Dr. Nilhas at Wichita Surgical Specialists was absolutely the right decision for me! Im very grateful to have been referred to his surgeon skills, knowledge and professionalism! Many thanks to Dr Nilhas, his Office & Staff for a wonderful same day surgery experience! You all are a true blessing!! Paula Swayze

After having Dr. Nilhas perform my Cholecystectomy( removed Gallbladder) 5 years ago, and recently repair of a torn Epigastric Hernia I can say with complete honesty he is absolutely the most phenomenal surgeon and Doctor ever. After the first surgery I was up and walking around the next day and went home with no need for any pain medication at all. The 2nd surgery was outpatient. I was in recovery for about 30 minutes. Went home and never needed any pain medication. I really didn't feel bad or even a little bit groggy. Other than a slight feeling of tightness around my stomach I felt great. My husband has to keep reminding me of my restriction because I forget about them, I feel so good. With Dr. Nilhas I felt totally confident and safe that my surgery was going to be the best possible. Told me up front everything to expect, pros and cons of different options, and let me make a well informed decision on what would be best for me. I would give him 10 star if I could.

Dr. Nilhas is extraordinary in every way. Over the past several years, Dr. Nilhas has performed three surgeries for a family member. He is skilled in his profession, meticulous in his follow-up. What truly sets him apart is his relationship with his patient and family members. Dr. Nilhas is patient in his explanation of options and procedures, treats everyone including his staff with the upmost respect, and takes time to put the patient and family at ease as he answers questions and reassures everyone of their decision. During our visits with other medical specialists and in conversations with hospital staff, without exception, all speak about their high regard for their fellow medical colleague, Dr. Nilhas.

Dr. Nilhas - Exceptional Surgeon – Mar 21, 2021

Dr. Nilhas was a great choice for my procedure. He came highly recommended to me and he didn't let me down! He instilled confidence in me about the process, what to expect, what the procedure entailed and the possible outcomes. He has a very calming presence and did a great job of communicating, following up and allowing me direct access to him. Without hesitation, I would use Dr. Nilhas for any future general surgical needs.

My wife had major surgery to repair work performed 30 years ago and Dr. Nilhas did a very fine job with his medical knowledge of the human body. He truly takes care of his patients and they are his upmost concern.

Dr Nilhas is the best of the best! I absolutely believe he saved my husband's life. He continuously and consistently took great care of him through a very long recovery. He showed compassion and understanding to not just his patient, but also to the family. I would highly recommend Dr Nilhas to anyone needing surgery.

I was referred to Dr Nilhas by my primary care physician and I could not be more satisfied with Dr Nilhas. He was very concerned with my well being and took excellent care of me. If I ever have to have any surgery again, I will definitely go back to Dr Nilhas and would recommend him to anyone needing a surgeon.

Dr. Nilhas was absolutely spectacular with treating my non working gallbladder. I was in a significant amount of pain and couldn't eat or drink anything, I was in really bad shape and had been for a couple weeks. He was very caring and showed a lot of compassion for my pain. His team went above and beyond to get me into testing that afternoon and surgery the very next day. My surgery went really goog, I was home healing that night. I would highly recommend Dr. Nilhas for any digestive problems.
