Surgeon Testimonial

Alexander Nagle, MD
I can't say enough good things about Dr. Nagle. He listens, really cares and is there for you when you need him. Not to mention he did a great job!

Q: What was your first impression of him/her?

1.) My first impression was one of great relief. I had a 2 page long list of questions and he sat and listened and answered everyone of my questions. He drew a picture of what was going to be done and assured me this was a good thing I was doing for the furture.

Q: How did your impression change over time?

2.) All for the better. I asked to go back and see him a second time as the date of my surgery was getting closer. I just wanted to make sure, and felt meeting someone once was not enough. They got me in right away and again he listened and answered all my questions. I walked away knowing he was "THE MAN", chuckle, chuckle.

Q: How would you describe his/her office staff?

3.) Liz gave me her direct number and she emailed as well. She kept me in the loop concerning the insurance and was a GREAT help in that area. Afterwards when I had complications the staff was there for me 24/7.

Q: What did you like least about him/her?

4.) Nothing

Q: What should future patients know about him/her?

5.) That he has done this procedure with hundreds of patients. He is detailed, caring and has a wonderful hospital behind him, Northwestern Universary. You are in good hands with Dr. Nagle.

Q: How much does he/she emphasize aftercare?

6.) The Surgeon part is good, but I wish Dr. Nagle didn't have his follow up program through The Wellness Center. There is such a disconnect there and most end up not following up with them!

Q: Does he/she have a structured aftercare program?
He does not do any of the follow up care the Wellness Center does

Q: How did he/she address the risks of surgery?

8.) Truthfully, and factually.

Q: How would you rate him/her overall?

9.) Very Good!

Q: Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or are both great?

10.) BOTH!
