I have been seeing Dr. Nel for a long time. He is kind, caring and compassionate. He truly tries to get to the root of the pain. He is skillful and very knowledgeable with every procedure he preforms. He doesn't rush in and out of the room, he takes the time to listen. So if your looking for a respected excellent doctor to help you, I highly recommend Dr. Nel to anyone.

He takes time to listen to your concerns and thoroughly discusses your treatment and medications. You never feel like a number or a dollar sign. He always looks for alternative ways to treat you pain.

I have been a patient at Dr Willem Nel's practice for several years, and a pain patient with a severe neurological disease for over 12 years. Prior to coming to Dr Nel, I did not think it possible to find a decent Pain Management Doctor, but was proven wrong. Dr Nel is not only an amazing physician, but is also a wonderful human being who treats his patients with compassion and respect. His staff, despite being very busy, always take the time to offer a sincere greeting and cheerfully assist wherever needed. I have only glowing praise and numerous positive accolades for Dr Nel and his staff!

Dr. Nel is as good as they come. Caring for the quality of life for his patients, he is on top of all the latest methods and medications for treat chronic pain. When a new med came down a few years ago I had it the day it went on the market. His staff is pleasant, courteous and always available to address patient concerns.

I have been a patient of Dr. Nel's for several years and both himself and his staff have always been personable and professional. Sometimes the wait time can be quite long but that is simply because he gives each patient his attention and does not rush through his appointments. :)

My neurosurgeon recommended Dr. Nel. I was apprehensive about seeing a pain management doctor, but I had no fears after being at his office. I am improving!
