Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He attacked me, Lawsuit has been filed
He attacked me during the physical examination. He twisted my testicles. and gave me testicular torsion. I have been made permanently made sterile as a result of the attack. I live in constant pain. I have filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Dr. Nagler and a separate lawsuit against Northwell Health.

Attentive
Because of my family history of prostate cancer, I have an annual checkup with a urologist. I wish I had found Dr. Nagler sooner! He was very kind and attentive during my appointment. I checked in and was seen within just 3 minutes. The staff there were all friendly as well. I highly recommend Dr. Nagler

As good as a Dr. gets
Dr. Nagler is as good a doctor as you'll find. He's responsive, listens, understands, and is competent. He's intelligent, warm, and pleasant. Most significant is his being there when I needed him, and he responds to every communication.

A caring doctor
I've been going to see Dr. Nagler for a few years. He's always been very warm and caring with me. I never feel rushed with him -- he takes the time to listen to my concerns and to explain things well. I always leave the office feeling like he cares.

A Urologist with Empathy
Dr. Nagler has been a class act with my process. He educates, and provides all the information. He is not harsh, he leads with empathy because he understands that this process can be emotionally draining. I am grateful and actually look forward to my visits. While he used to be on Long Island, when he went full time to NYC, I followed him there. He also keeps my wife in the loop when I ask him and I have seen great results under his care.

Doctor Nagler was a great choice.
Doctor Nagler has been a great choice for me. I‘ve been dealing with prostate issues and he had strong instincts what my issue might be. He is dogged in reviewing and questioning test results. And he always calls and gives me a clear understanding of my results so that i would not see them online and be uninformed. I really appreciate his warm but clear manner. Also the team and everyone at his office are remarkably warm and professional. They get stuff done! And I am always able to get through to a person that cares and assists me. Making sure appts are set up and insurance is cleared. Also Dr Nagler has a remarkably rich and strong history in urology and patient care. Im lucky to have found him and his team.

He is treating me for prostate issues and he has been a wonderful combination of knowledgeable (both in his advice, in his treatment and his explanations of the consequences and results of same), super considerate (including calling me quickly so I would not overreact to online results, before he had a chance to see me) and cautious in his advice (what I want) I could not be happier.

Five Star
Dr. Nagler came highly recommended by my primary care doctor after he noticed something on my bladder from an x-ray. Dr. Nagler ordered a cat scan and discovered a tumor on my bladder. My wife and I met with Dr. Nagler and he explained the procedure and follow up treatment. We also discussed getting a second opinion but after the meeting we were both confident that he was the right doctor to perform the surgery. He removed the tumor. The pathology report confirmed it was cancer. Dr. Nagler scheduled a second surgery to make sure all the cancer was removed. He then advised a plan of action – six weeks of chemo treatment. After the six week chemo treatment, a third surgery is planned to confirm by a biopsy the site is clean. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Nagler. His skill as a surgeon and medical professionalism has given me comfort that I am with the right doctor for my on-going care.

Just Great!
Dr Nagler is a true professional, kind and patient. I have had several issues over the past two years and he’s always been attentive, available and open to exploring options that are not just prescribing antibiotics like other doctors have. Great office staff, always quick in & out and on time. Highly recommend him and his services.

I've been a patient of Dr. Nagler for over 25 years, first seeing him in my mid-30s. I knew then that I was under the care of a physician who was informed, thorough, engaged, and personable. As I enter my early 60s, those attributes continue to describe how he evaluates and treats my urological issues that have evolved over time. I feel fortunate to have him not only as my physician, but as a medical resource and sounding board.

What a joke of a doctor! He did not listen to me throughout the appointment. He just shrugged his shoulders and said "So what?", after I described my symptoms. I saw a second provider and I was diagnosed with testicular torsion. A very serious diagnosis to have. This man is a disgrace. All he cares about are his fat paychecks. He is lazy, arrogant and rude!!!

Horrible doctor. He was texting on his phone, and hurried the appointment. He did not listen to me or give me basic eye contact. He was dismissive, arrogant, and rude. He did not request labs or perform an exam, which I asked. At the end, he asked to hurry as he had a lunch date. Disgrace of a doctor.

After a number of other Physicians gave my wife and I no hope of conceiving children, Dr. Nagler took extra time to explain options for treatment and repair to make it possible. Dr. Nagler foresaw every possible pitfall, provided a plan B for each, and in the end, we had success. After almost four years of hormone therapy and 20 hours of surgery, we conceived two beautiful children.  Of all my specialists and my regular Physician, I have found Dr. Nagler to be the most kind, close to my family, considerate and truly interested in me as a whole person. He always asks questions that express real interest in my family-life, my well-being as a human, and as an integrated person. We think of Dr. Nagler  as part of our family. We would not be a family without him. He always asks about our children, and is genuinely delighted to see them.   We are forever grateful to Dr. Nagler for his kindness, expertise and, most of all, his gift of life to us.

Dr Nagler likely saved my husbands life!! ER sent us home but once Dr. Nagler reviewed his labs, he had us admitted directly. My husbands white count was extremely high and I can’t imagine how much worse he would’ve gotten if we didn’t get him back there for treatment. Dr Nagler and his office worked with us every step of the way, explained our options and Dr Nagler kept in touch with me to check on my husband in between visits. I can’t say enough good things.

Terrible. I saw him multiple times for erectile issues, he says its no big deal and refused to help. He couldn’t even help find a further diagnosis, ignored the fact that he had to give me three injections for any erection to take hold, and ignored that even after the third one, my glans was completely unerect (which was the problem i was complaining of in the first place). He recommended a psychologist, who did nothing, and doubted this was a structural issue. Im 22, and had zero problems until i took a medication, but this doctor was so full of himself and said that this happens to all men as they age. I’m 22, and not unhealthy.

Horrible doctor. Completely useless. Refused to read my paperwork, laughed about it, and then told me my symptoms weren't real, even though I daily have pain. Told me repeatedly, "I don't know." Who's the doctor? Me or you? Very disappointed. Don't ever see him.

Dr Nagler is one of the best doctors I've ever seen. Great guy, relaxed and very friendly. Felt like he really listened to me, then took extra time to explain clearly what was going on and what my options were. I left that office knowing exactly what was happening with my body and had a plan I was confident in. I wish all doctor visits were like that. Later when there was a snag with my insurance agency (actually a series of snags) his nurse went out of her way to solve the problem.
