Dr. Nix was a great person and doctor. He has been my husband's doctor for the past 7 or so years. He always treated us with compassion and understanding. He took the time to explain everything we did not understand. He was the type of person you felt free to talk to. Great personality. We will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to his family.
