I haven't met him yet. My first appointment will be this Friday.

I felt very confident with Dr. Nagle. He spent a lot of time answering questions from both my husband and I. Explained everything very thoroughly.

I feel that Dr. Nagle was a very good surgeon. His staff is a little hard to get ahold of on the phone. But he is a very good doctor. He answered all questions I had and had a very up beat attitude.

'Dr. Hungess was great

Dr. Hungness is very passionate.He saw me everyday while I was in the hospital.Made sure everything was good.The office staff was so friendly and concerned about your well being. They make certain that you know everything about the surgery and they are crutial on making sure you know everything you must do after the surgery.Dr.Hungness tells you the risks of the surgery and he also tell you that he does everything possible to minimize those risks. The whole hospital staff was FANTASTIC!

From the first time I met Dr. Nagle, he did make me feel like another fat girl going in for a quick fix. He was careful to show me all options and make sure that I was fully aware of what changes I could expect. He has always made me feel comfortable and safe. My impressions of him never changed over time. He was friendly, smart, and helpful. He works well to make sure my needs are met, recognizes any concerns I might have and meets my worries with absolute calmness. He has great surgical competence and his bedside manner is even better. I had absolutely no complications from my surgery and my life has completely changed for the better, thanks to Dr. Nagle.

Very professional, confident, great sense of humor, understanding, explained the surgery very well.

Office staff was very good but one assistant (Mike Hall RN) of Dr. Nagle's didn't return a phone call and "forgot" to make my post op follow-up appt with his computer system, even though I had a written confirmation. The Dr's office got me in that day but I had to wait for over an hour. Dr. Nagle gave up his lunch that day to see me and remove my staples.

Dr. Nagle's medical team consisting of other Dr's and Residents and med students were fantastic. Especially Dr. Venema who I asked to remove my JP drain and my staples.

Dr. Nagle was fine with my picture taking process to document my journey and very patient with my questions and concerns.

Both surgical expertise and bedside manner were impeccable. I want a strong, confident surgeon as the Dr has my life in his/her hands.

I had my surgery consult today. Dr. Nagle was wonderful. The office was very cheerful and plesant. Everyone that I spoke with on the staff had a smile on theor face and were very nice. I had many questions for Dr. Nagle which he was very pleased to answer. He gave me the breakdown on what will happen during the procedure and after. He explained the risks of the surgery and advised that I was at a low risk. I was so excited to finally meet him after all the great things I heard about him from this site. For those of you that are considering him as your surgeon..nothing but good things are said about him and I am adding to that list. He seemed very confident and had one of the best bedside manners that I have seen. He answered my questions thoroughly about the concerns that I had regarding this surgery.

My first impression of Dr. Nagle was Damn he fine as hell! (smile) So far as of 12-18-05 i've only met with him once, and he was very very nice, smiled the whole time he was in my room. His teeth WHITE as snow. He explained everything to me about the surgery, and asked me several times "you sure you dont have any questions"! Bedside manners were EXECELLANT! He participates in the Wellness Institute here at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where they have you take classes to prepare you for your BIG day, they do weigh-ins monthly (before surgery) and they teach you how to eat and what you will be eating before and after surgery. If i had to rate Dr. Nagle so far I would give him a 10, very informative, told me about the good and the bad, and the worst that could happen. The one thing that stood out with my visit with him, was when he was explaining that some people die, and although it was least likely to happen to me because i was one of his many patients that didnt have ANY medical problems so my probability of something going wrong was very slim, but there's always a chance that something could happen. He said (with that BEAUTIFUL SMILE) I wont promise you that something may not go wrong, but what i will promise you is that I PROMISE TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU! It brought tears to my eyes. His office staff was very helpful, and always prompt on returning my calls, and getting the paperwork sent over to my insurance company quickly. I look forward to meeting with him again.

My first impression of Dr. Nagle was " he looks young here" He was very informative and was comfortable to talk to. He answered all of my questions and I felt at ease the whole time . His office staff were wonderful. He addressed all the risks as well as the benefits of the surgery in details. I would definitely rate him an overall A++++++ I strongly believe that surgical competence and bedside manner as a must, and Dr. Nagle is well beyond those..
