I recently moved to Texarkana and was in need of a Primary Care Physician. Dr Matthew Nix agreed to see me. I have seen Dr Nix three times, and I am very impressed with him. Dr Nix is very easy to talk with, and he asks for my thoughts concerning my care.  Dr Nix is quite thorough, and making appointments with him is very easy.  I have had one problem with obtaining a medication from my pharmacy that is on back order.  When I called Dr Nix for assistance, he was very punctual in returning my call.  The receptionists have been very courteous, and the nurses have been very professional. I hope that I have a very long association with Dr Nix.
