Amazing! One of his former patients recommended him for gallbladder removal so I was very fortunate that he's also going to be my GI surgeon. You can tell he genuinely cares, takes the time to make sure you know the risk and complications. Most physicians do not do that and he actually listens to your complaints. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my gallbladder

I was told by another surgeon at another hospital group they couldn't help me in what I thought was a hernia. I came to Dr. Nagle for a 2nd opinion. From the moment we met, he listened intently as I explained all my hernia related symptoms and the pain I was going thru. He did a simple exam on me and agreed we need to take of this ASAP. He was very forthright in explaining the success rate of this type of surgery - but mostly - something could definitely be done!! I am forever thankful he's in my corner.

Dr Nagle is an outstanding surgeon. He was professional, courteous, and he went out of his way to expedite my care. He did an excellent job with my operation and I'm extremely satisfied with my results. He took great care to explain the surgery to me preoperatively, and to check in with me in recovery and after I had returned home. I felt very well cared for, and I would not hesitate to have another operation by Dr Nagle, should the situation arise.

Dr. Nagle is awesome. He was friendly, very knowledgeable, and supportive. He did an amazing job on my muscle reconstruction and hernia repair. He got me SNATCHED!!! He really got me through this surgery and recovery by preparing me mentally for the journey. Post Surgery he really encouraged me to give myself grace. I'm a mom of 4 (3 boys under 8, and one is a 1 year old) mentally and physically this was challenging for me especially not being able to hold my 1 year old. He was really concerned about me and I appreciated that most. Highly recommend

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
