This guy. Puts you out months, has someone call and move up your appointment to come in and be told you have to schedule another apt and it will be months, this guy.. Pathetic at best. Off to find a Nero that gives a shit. Who waits months for a appointment. Who thinks that what they may have could be deadly in months verse maybe a 2 week window, gtfo with this crap.

Be very careful of this person. His office does not know what he is licensed in, where he was educated, or what procedures he may do. He may put on a mask and do a dance.

Dr Nager is one of the best doc,s that I know. I worked with him at the hospital, and am now his patient. He is extremely knowledgeable, and has a great bedside manner. He truely cares about his patients, and is great with them. Would totally recommend seeing him if needed.

The people that gave bad reviews had no reason to. He is a great doctor and pleasant to be around. No, there is no warm and fuzzy, but he is your doctor not your friend. He was friendly and thorough.

This Dr. gave me the creeps, I confided in him and he not only didn't help me but went behind my back to my general Dr. and ruined my relationship with him. Do not trust him!! I feel he's Jack of many trades and master of none.

Wow actually very surprised by these reviews. I have been seeing Dr Nager for over 2 years and will continue to see him. His besides manners are wonderful. He helped me enormously. I'm very grateful. If I call his office I always get a call back the same day. I am being treated by more then one doctor and this office is my favorite. Thank you Dr nager and staff for all your help!
