There is a reason why my primary care provider referred me to Dr. Nadel. Dr. Nadel listened to my injury, took x-rays and showed me the condition of my wrist. He is one doctor who didn't jump at recommending surgery for my fractured risk but instead recommended a more conventional way of treating my wrist. I totally agree with his practical treatment and confident that I am on the mend. Thank you Dr. Nadel!As far as wait time to be seen, wait time is 1 hour on both visits, I hope this will be addressed with scheduling department.

I have been very pleased with Doctor Nadel. I have seen him in the past and he has always been professional, patient and knowledgeable. He explains things very thoroughly by showing imaging results on his computer and takes his time to allow questions I ask. He offers several options on treatment depending on the issue. His experience eases my concerns each time he has treated me.The office staff are patient, knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. Overall I have been very satisfied with my care.

I have had two surgeries by Doctor Nadel. If he will keep seeing me, I will never go anywhere else. The only complaint I have is the voice tree is difficult to navigate when you call in if you don't have the specific person's extension number. Everyone in that office is very knowledgeable, polite and professional. Center for Orthopedic Specialists provides the best overall example for other offices to follow. I love this place!!!

Dr. Nadel is very caring and professional. His team is top tier as well. While I should have had the surgery much quicker, he and the team did the best that they could while following the rules of getting approval for treatments and the actual surgery. I was very happy that my Anesthesiologist and Dr. Nadel both took the time to phone me the following day after surgery making sure I was okay and didn't need anything.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2022-11-14

Kevin Nadel is the best orthopedic surgeon that I could ever ask for. His nurses and staff are wonderful and take great care of me during every office visit or surgery. The only trouble I have had is getting through the voice tree if I do not have someone's extension written down. The voice tree will often kick me out and I won't get questions answered until I finally get through it.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2023-07-30

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Although I feel that Dr Nadel is very knowledgeable and trustworthy in his field, the wait time from the time of the appointments is excessive. From the time of my appointment to the time that he actually saw me it was at least 1hr. During every visit, I've had to wait a very long time. One of those Visits I waited about 2 hrs. It seems as they over schedule patients, all the time.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-03-08

Patient verified via Press Ganey

I really felt heard and walked away feeling like I understood what is causing my pain even though I felt a little less than optimistic about my insurance company's likelihood of approving the recommended treatment. I pray this is not the case but I do appreciate Dr. Nadel and his team which really illuminated my condition and how not to make things worse than they are.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2022-12-27

Dr Nadel has done surgery on my left shoulder and did a great job. This is the second time I have seen him. This time I fell on my right shoulder and he got me a MRI and physical therapy. He's a great doctor he takes his time with you and he listens to your concerns. The visit usually takes a long time but I think that is because he doesn't rush with his patients.

Dr Nadel has been very upfront about my surgery, from the beginning consultation to now, 5 months after surgery. I trust him explicitly. He is now checking on my sore ankle. Looking forward to working with him in the future.Your staff in reception are very considerate and know how to follow through with doctors orders. A fine group of professionals.
