About Hooman Nikizad, MD

Hooman Nikizad, MD, is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with Keck Medicine of USC.  He has a particular interest in all aspects of hand & upper extremity surgery, microsurgical reconstruction, and peripheral nerve surgery. He treats hand and wrist trauma, arthritis, and tendon, nerve, and vascular pathology in the upper extremities.

 

Dr. Nikizad received his MD from the University of Illinois-Chicago and later trained in an integrated residency in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Minnesota, where he had a broad exposure to hand surgery and microsurgical reconstruction. He then pursued further specialization and completed a fellowship in Hand, Upper Extremity, and Microvascular Surgery at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine in New York City.

 

In his spare time, Dr. Nikizad appreciates the outdoors, including hiking, cycling, and tennis.

 

 

I believe the most important part of working with patients is to see myself in their shoes and make sure I am treating every patient as I would want to be treated. I strive to listen well and support my patients so that we reach a shared decision at every step of the treatment process. It is a pleasure to see patients regain the use of their hands and return to their work and hobbies.
