Dr. John Nile attended the University of Northern Colorado and received his Bachelor’s in zoology in 1988. He went on to the University of North Texas Health Science Center and Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine graduating in 1992. In 1997, Dr. Nile completed his surgical residency at Gensys Regional Medical Center, which is affiliated with Michigan State University. He came to work for Woodlawn Hospital in 2005.

“I like that Woodlawn is a community hospital where patients aren’t just a number. I have gotten to know many people pretty well over the years,” Dr. Nile said when asked what he likes best about working at Woodlawn.

When asked what he likes about being a general surgeon, he responded, “I like being able to get people feeling better and back to normal activity in a short amount of time.”

When he is not helping people feel better at the hospital, he enjoys spending time with his family and water skiing. He is also the Assistant Track Coach for sprints at Rochester High School.
