What Our Patients Are Saying
We will forever be grateful for Dr Chiweshe after she operated on our newborn baby. She has been clear and concise when explaining to us the procedure and the many steps that followed. Along with being extremely patient and caring.
The Knight in the Shining Armor has a name: Dr. Nitsana Spigland. When your oh-so-expected and already so-so-loved newborn baby is born with a health challenge that requires surgery, it’s like living your worst nightmare. But then Dr. Spigland comes in and literally saves your whole world.
My 14 month old had emergency surgery with Dr. Chiweshe. She fixed my son. He had malrotation (though not classic) and required Ladd’s procedure. Rather than overwhelm this review with my words, I’ll just say the following: Dr. Chiweshe has ethereal-like energy and soothing confidence; laser sharp and concise explanations; expert discretion which I’m sure is based on deep experience; and the type of bedside manner that allows you better sleep and overall security. Personnel throughout the hospital told me they would want Dr. Chiweshe operating on their child.
