Of course he is practicing in PA; he was kicked out of NY!!!! This guy is totally incompetent to perform surgery and should have his medical license revoked.

This doctor claimed he knew what he was doing when he operated on my sister for a brain aneurisym. It was all lies and she suffered a stroke. He quickly left town because he knew that a suit was on the way. Would not recommend him

Great Surgeon! Everything was at ease for a specialist. Dr. Nakkache makes you feel welcome. He is very caring and knows what he is talking about. Has a lot of experience which is clear. I have seen a lot of neurosurgeons, surgeons in my day...Dr. Nakkache is one of the best! 5 stars.

Dr. Nakkache had a curt and my way or the highway attitude!He was the second opinion that I sought for extreme neck pain. For he wanted to fuse two discs, without an MRI available and I sought a third opinion in Bethlehem for which one disc was fused.Due to the lack of any care or compassion of the patient coupled with a snap diagnosis w/o an MRI, my trip to Bethlehem was wise time invested for this is just an opinion but was later backed up by my family doctor to seek another specialist!
