Dr. Nagle is outstanding! He built great rapport from the first meeting through the post-op follow-up. He took the time to understand my issue, how it was affecting my lifestyle, and why it was important to me and he instilled confidence throughout the experience. Otherwise, the results speak for themselves; I was mobile within 24 hours, discomfort for a couple days, but 2 weeks out I'm completely pain free and on my way to resuming normal activities...just like Dr. Nagle said I would be. I hope I never have this issue again, but if I do, Dr. Nagle would be my first call and he's the Dr. I would recommend to family and friends.

I have confidence in Dr. Nagle’s skill. More complete information about the procedure would have improved care, specifically regarding the recovery process and prophylactic neurectomy. His surgical report seemed perfunctory and perhaps incomplete. My incision was much longer than indicated in the report.

I had a inguinal hernia. Dr Nagle provided a comprehensive examination, diagnoses, and treatment strategy. Having complete and accurate information is important when you are faced with a decision to have surgery. Dr Nagle and his team were instrumental in giving me the confidence to make that decision. I am currently recovering from surgery and very happy with the decision I made.

I think he underestimated how much pain I would have after surgery, so I only got Tylenol and Motrin. There are stronger NSAIDs, and I would have appreciated more pain relief. At least the anesthesiologist stepped-up and gave me toradol through my IV in recovery.

Really impressed by Dr Nagle. Referred by Dr Wilson Hartz III, also an amazing guy and terrific surgeon. Dr Nagle put me at ease. Dr Hartz retired and while I was extremely disappointed to hear that, his opinion of Dr Nagle and my time spent with Dr Nagle assure me he will do a great job repairing my hernia. Very confident and personable. To know he did medical missions to Guatemala with Dr Hartz sealed it for me. I’d definitely recommend anyone to Dr Nagle for hernia repair.
