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.

Tis man is wonderful 6 months visits very nice and very friendly.

This is the colorectal surgeon you want!
Dr. Nadler is simply amazing. He is a skilled and highly experienced colorectal surgeon. His initial consultation made me feel like I mattered and he devoted his attention and gave us a great deal of explanation. He and his practice went above and beyond and walked every step of the way with my husband and I through my surgery. He explained everything in detail and was always available during business hours and after hours. He saw me everyday post surgery even over the weekend. He returned every phone call and truly is an expert in colorectal surgery. His practice staff are all efficient, organized caring and kind. If you need colorectal surgery this is the Doctor you want! I know I would not have had such a personal and attentive experience had I gone downtown.

Great doctor. After having pain for almost a year that another colorectal surgeon couldn't diagnose correctly, I had 2 different people recommend I go to Dr. Nadler for a second opinion, because they had great experiences with him. In my initial consult, he identified what the problem was, just based on my description. He did an exam to confirm, and prescribed me a custom compound for recovery. The compound worked perfectly, and my 12 hours of daily pain are done. Clearly knows his stuff.

As a follow up to my previous review, I did have my second surgery in Nov. All went well and I thought Dr. Nadler’s bedside manner, in the hospital, was outstanding. He was so genuine and sincere and told me to call him anytime. I got very emotional over his response. If there is anything negative to say, it is about my final appointment with him In his office, a week after surgery. He changed my dressing, answered a few questions and he was gone. I did not even get to thank him for putting me back together. I still think the world of him, just a little disappointed in our final meeting. I definitely would still recommend him as his surgery skills are superb,

I meet with Dr Nadler a month ago, he was very professional and I liked him and felt comfortable with him. His office staff is another story, very unprofessional and not truthful. Long story short, don’t overbook procedures then lie about times, and he/she said. Other people have obligations too. Had to change 4 people’s schedule 3 times due to lies. Went from 7 to 9 to 11 to canceled. Better not get an invoice from Nadler or the hospital!!!!

My experience with Dr. Nadler has been GREAT. I have a patient for a year and a half. I have nothing but praise for him. He takes his time and explains everything to you. I had a concern on a sunday called the answering service and he called me right back.

I just left a review, but 500 characters was not enough. I also want to just say that sooooo many nurses and medical professionals who I encountered in the many months of treatment said that they also were patients of Dr. Nadler or that they sent their parent/relative to him. I feel that is a very high compliment from Dr. Nadler's colleagues!

I have had Chrohns since 1996, in 2016 I required a resection of my ileum and colon. Dr. Nadler and his practice have done an exceptional job in both my treatment and care. I will continue to see Dr. Nadler, and would gladly recommend him to anyone requiring gastric surgery. He is a kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable surgeon, who I have and will continue to trust my care.

Doctor Nadler is an excellent surgeon . He is very companionate and has a genuine concern for his patients. Doctor Nadler takes the necessary time to answer all your questions and concerns. He is available to help no matter the time. If he isn't able to answer your phone call Doctor Nadler will call you back.

I would NOT recommend Dr. Nadler. From my initial scheduling phone call, I hesitated following through with my first appointment. The schedulers/secretaries were very rude in their tone, short, and cut me off mid sentence several times. Despite my hesitation, I did follow through with my first appointment. By my second appointment, I switched practices. I am very unhappy and disappointed with my experience.
