5.0 star star star star starHes every empathetic and explains well. Im happy with my treatment and know it will get better with healing. Ive recommended him to other patients who were looking for a surgeon for their rotator cuff problem they were just diagnosed.

5.0 star star star star starFor a first visit, he was extremely nice, patient, and engaged throughout the entire visit. Sometimes you feel like you're being rushed along with doctors, especially ones that have such a high frequency of patient visits, but Dr. Nuber took the time to ask questions about me and the injury. And, even before leaving asked again if there was anything else he could answer for me. It was a truly enjoyable experience and I'm glad I was referred to him.

5.0 star star star star starExcellent job explaining and letting you know whats going on. Dr. Nuber doesnt just recommend surgery he gives a chance to find a solution with treatment instead of saying you just need surgery and nothing else can be done.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Nuber really made a difference and promptly identified the problem with my shoulder. I was in pain for so long and the treatment he provided helped not only my range of motion but also relieved the severe pain I had been in. I can now also sleep better and feel so happy and grateful.

4.0 star star star star star_borderRecommended by a friend¦ liked the personal call after reading the MRI and his willingness to wait if I didnt want surgery right away. Unfortunately I needed it right away. He was able to schedule it.
