5.0 star star star star starMy doctor is very knowledgeable and takes the time to share information with you so you understand your treatment. He also never makes me feel rushed or that he only has 15 minutes to spend with me. It's one of the reasons I return year after year to him and recommend him.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Nager seems to have a direct and no-nonsense approach which worked for me. He knew immediately what my issue was and had a plan of action. I have another issue with apnea and Dr. Nager suggested we tackle that in 3 months so as not to try to tackle two things at once and maybe set me up for failure. I also like his dry sense of humor, matches mine. :)

5.0 star star star star starDr. Nager has been treating my sleep apnea for 8 years, he has given me good advise and the best equipment needed to treat me and I am very happy with the ongoing results. He is very pleasant, unrushed and through with my annual exam.

5.0 star star star star starHe was very thorough in explaining everything that he was doing to me. Answered all my questions. Seemed genuinely concerned. And was quick in doing the EMG. I appreciated that very much. Tests are always scary. Very nice man & enjoyed visiting with him.

3.0 star star star star_border star_borderHe seems to have solved my problem, and I appreciate that. I just dont feel like I know much about neurology or Dr. Nager, so nothing against him. I would tell people to read up on neurology first, then go see him because maybe the dots will be better connected that way.
Disclosures
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. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
