Dr. Nassar and his staff are amazing. I did not even have time to fill out paperwork before I was called back. Straight to x-ray which was modern and immediate. I could see every image real-time. Barely sat down in the room before Dr. Nassar came to see me and took plenty of time doing an exam. He explained allot of options and gave me his advice. If you need foot or ankle care, do not trust anyone else.

Dr. Nassar is a wonderful doctor and surgeon. I tore my achilles tendon earlier this year - and he and his staff made a traumatic and scary time easier to manage through listening, answering all questions, being available and having a kind sense of humor. The surgery was successful and his thoughtful post surgery protocol allowed my healing journey to be steady.

What a lovely professional office. The staff is warm, welcoming and efficient. Dr Nassar is kind, caring and professional. His conservative approach for treatment of my broken ankle was the direction I hoped he would take. A good doctor and personalized care is difficult to find these days, I highly recommended Dr Nassar.

I could not have had a better experience with Dr. Nassar. Extremely professional, knowledgeable staff, and over all very kind. I received 2 other opinions before see Dr. Nassar and they all said 2-3 surgeries. He was able to do it in 1 with one overnight hospital visit. Linda is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to insurance and Shane and Steve are extremely friendly techs. I would recommend this to anyone needing any type of orthopedic foot operation. A+ and beyond.

Dr. Nassar was one of the worst doctors I have been to. I was referred to him by my neurologist (who I generally respect, but now am questioning his opinion since he thinks highly of Dr. Nassar) for a second opinon after complications to two foot nerves following achilles and talar fracture repair by another surgeon. I had no problem with scheduling or staff, but I have the following complaints:
1. He took x rays of both feet and ankles but he did not review them, or he did not review them with any care. I noted that you can see the soft tissue anchor in my calcaneus in the x-ray, and he exclaimed

I broke the fibula and 3rd metatarsal of my left foot when I slipped on a boulder at the beach. I was able to see Dr. Nassar two days after getting home - after giving the swelling a couple days to go down. I was greeted by Matt at the front desk. X-rayed by George. Examined by Dr. Nassar, and put into a lovely purple cast by Kevin. Everyone was warm and friendly, professional and courteous. I understood what to expect during the healing process and what my next therapies would be. Once the cast, scooter and boot were tools of the past, I began physical therapy. I continue to follow up with Dr

Dr. John Nassar recently performed my foot surgery and I would recommend him to any of my friends and family. He is a wonderful surgeon, patient with any questions or concerns that you might have, and genuinely seems to care about how you are doing. Also, he and his staff do a wonderful job post surgery to ensure that the surgery is successful and that everything is healing properly. His office staff are also awesome and make sure that you are well taken care of. I would give Dr. Nassar and his staff 5 stars!

When every other surgeon wanted to give up and amputate my foot, Dr. Nassar transplanted a navicular bone from a cadaver into my foot along with plates. He saved my foot and the staff (Linda, George and Kevin) always took great care of me. They called me for every appointment to confirm that I would be there. They ordered medical equipment for me with "No Hassle" from the insurance co. crutches,air-boot and scotter, etc. I love the fact that they all really care and do their best for me. It's been almost three years since I shattered the bones in my foot and Dr. Nassar was able to surgically correct
