General Surgeon

What I find most rewarding is seeing the big changes we can make in someone’s life in a fairly short amount of time and seeing a problem, diagnosing it, fixing it, and then seeing that patient get on with their life.

R. Joseph Nold, MD, is a board-certified general surgeon specializing in surgical care for trauma, acute care and critically ill patients practicing with Wichita Surgical Specialists.

“My goal as a surgeon is to do my best to ensure patients get safe, timely surgery and improve their wellbeing and their general quality of life.

A Wichita native, Dr. Nold received his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City. He completed his fellowship in trauma surgery/critical care medicine at the R. Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore.
