Albany Med General Surgery: Ankesh Nigam MD, FACS

"God bless Dr. Nigam. My husband suffered for 20 years with Pancreatic issues due to misdiagnosis, incompetence, lack of experience and the difficult nature of the type of illness my husband suffered from. Thanks to Dr. Nigam and his expertise with Pancreatic cancer, my husband underwent a distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy with the absolute best possible outcome. He is finally pain free, cancer free, and living life as it should be. Dr. Nigam is an expert in this field and it shows. His concern for his patients is beyond measure. I was a basket case before, during, and after my husband's surgery and Dr. Nigam made himself available for all of my many phone calls and answered all of my questions completely and accurately. He even called me in the waiting room during surgery to let me know how things were progressing. I can't say enough good things about him."

"Very good Surgeon he did my Ventral Hernia. From start to finish my surgery went great. I was very satisfied afterwards and felt so much better after recovery. Dr Nigam great."

"This hospital nearly took my life on (4) occasions. Dr. Nigam is biggest joke!!! I bet he's practicing with no license!!! This SOB BUTCHERED ME!!! I was operated on on Christmas Eve and (3) additional times thereafter for the damn mess he made!!! I am STILL attending to the open wound this clown left me with an must under go Major reconstructive surgery to repair the damage he did!!! And these friggin fools in administration claim he's one of their best surgeons....I sure would hate to see the worst!!! Stay OUT OF ALBANY MED IF YOU CALUE YOUR LIFE!!! Take a moment of time and you will find more Horror Stories from there than success!!!"

"Dr. Nigam just removed a tumor from a dangerous and difficult area. It was a complicated surgery and his skills were literally life-saving. He's intelligent and compassionate. *Most outstanding, and a rare quality today among doctors...is his ability to be a good listener and ask the right questions. He was very patient in answering my questions most of them before I even ask them. So great!"

"Dr Nigam was the kindest most professional compassionate doctor I have ever had the opportunity to have an appointment with. His bedside manner is outstanding and goes beyond the call of duty in dealing with patient concerns. He is amazing and I highly recommend him Also his nursing office staff need to be commended as well."
