Atlantic Spine Specialists - Richard S Nachwalter

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Nachwalter and his staff. I was very nervous to have neck surgery but the second I met Dr. Nachwalter I felt at ease. The surgery went great and I feel 100% better. I had a C-6 disc replacement done and everything worked out great thanks to Dr. Nachwalter and his staff.

Very attentive and helpful staff. Dr. Nachwalter is excellent and despite difficulties with insurance he continued to advocate for me and refused to cut any corners. Highly recommend.

I have nothing but good things to say. Dr. Nachwalter, took his time and answered all of my questions. He was very honest with me about my options, and I had surgery 3/29/22. Dr. Nachwalter is someone I highly recommend. He is easy to talk to. He doesn't rush you, I was comfortable in my decision to have the recommended surgery. His staff is professional and always courteous.

His office is very clean, and never did I wait long for my appointment. A little over a month since my surgery (I had disk replacement in my neck) my headaches are gone, and I'm on the mend and I owe it all to Dr. Nachwalter!

I am a patient of Doctor K. Praveen Kadimcherla. I hope I spelled that right, I have been seeing doctor K and Doctor Bitan since earlier this year. My entire life has been disrupted by low back problems which I suffered from a car accident years ago. After speaking with doctor K, we agreed to do a scope type procedure to relieve pressure on my sciatic nerve.

I had been given only very high risk procedure options up to this point, involving fusion and disc replacements. Doctor K did a scope procedure about 2 weeks ago and I am recovering nicely. I did 2 follow ups with doctor K and his follow up care was HORRENDOUS. My experience ultimately was horrible, after a few months of recurrent pain doctor K wouldnt even spend 5 minutes with me.

He presented me with the scenario that even though the disc reherniated it shouldn't be causing me any trouble. I was in worse pain after the procedure than before and now was losing control of my leg. He literally told me if I cant stand, and I cant sit then I should just lay down. That was the last time I went there and last time I would recommend anyone go atlantic SPINE or doctor K

I have had the good fortune of being Dr. Nachwalter's patient twice. First in 2001, and now again, twenty years later. Dr. Nachwalter has proven to be a fantastic surgeon, and equally as important to me, a doctor who truly cares about his patients. He takes s the time to listen, to explain the details and. to follow up. The entire staff at Atlantic Spine Specialists is professional, empathetic and compassionate; they were amazing twenty years ago, and have only gotten better.

Dr. Nachwalter and his office staff were nothing less than excellent! Dr. Nachwalter is personable, understanding, knowledgeable and absolutely amazing! His knowledge and confidence was refreshing and comforting. I was fortunate to see Dr. N and get on his calendar rather quickly. His staff was efficient and effective while being caring and compassionate.

I had a disc replacement and woke up from surgery pain free and never took any pain medication following surgery. I have full motion in my neck and have resumed all my normal activities. I highly recommend Dr. Nachwalter and his staff to everyone!

I am a patient who has been severely compromised with low back pain for several years due to a degenerative condition (arthritis). I have already had two full hip replacements less than 10 years ago and back surgery many years prior. I have not slept for more than 4 hours straight in over 2 years. I had been through every imaginable treatment path, all ending in failure.

Surgery was my last option, or so I thought, until I visited Dr. Nachwalter and discovered radiofrequency ablation. Dr. Nachwalter was my 7th specialist besides those specialists who helped me manage my way through this painful ordeal and were helping me to seek a long term solution. Right at the outset, he was listening more closely than all others at the first consultation.

He took an evidence based approach and made sure I had all the necessary imaging performed including immediate x rays right in his office followed by CT scan as well as an MRI. After a couple of visits and extensive discussion, physical exams and reviewing all the imaging, he provided a path forward. He was tremendously supportive and addressed the immediate solution and also the long term pathway including lifestyle and weight issues. And, his office staff is top notch, very friendly, helpful (especially with insurance reimbursement issues), and very competent.

I'm happy to say I'm finally on a pathway where my back pain has been properly addressed by a top flight spine specialist, Dr. Richard Nachwalter. If you suffer like I have, I hope you can avoid the years of frustration and pain. I strongly recommend you make an appointment and have a consultation with Dr. Nachwalter. He is the best!

Dr. Nachwalter helped me understand all of my options. I went with spinal fusion surgery and I new immediately afterwards in recovery that it was successful. I regained all the feeling in my legs and within the first week I could walk and climbs stairs without any issues.

Absolutely unprofessional! The reception staff is impolite and they confirm appointments over the phone with just anyone giving away what's supposed to be private information yes this in fact happened to me, when I called and asked why they would just tell someone else I had an appointment Bonnie yes that's her name Bonnie said "that's the number the insurance company had on file" Bonnie had no way of verifying who she was speaking to or the nature of our relationship but she disclosed appointment time date and what she needed me to bring to the office because her office can not retrieve such information themselves she potentially made me a sitting duck without a care or worry as to my own personal safety and my medical privacy rights, when I asked to speak with the office manager I was met with refusal! I absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone ever! If you can avoid this place then I certainly would!

Dr Nachwalter is an excellent surgeon who has given me my life back. I'm 44 and after having emergency discectomy surgery a year ago, 7 months ago I started losing my ability to stand and walk-serious stenosis. I went to multiple dr's but they all turned me away because they couldn't guarantee a positive result based on mri and exam- even though I begged to be helped! Dr Nachwalter is the only Dr who took a chance on me and I'm so happy he did!

He is truly skilled and meticulous. During my surgery he was extremely thorough and performed excellent nerve decompression along with a 2 level fusion- I know this because horrible pain symptoms I've been living with are gone. I truly did not think anyone would fix those problems I was mostly concerned with standing and walking. This man is a true surgeon.

I made this review because I also looked at reviews of doctors while I was searching for someone to help me and figured my experience deserved to be shared. Thank you very much Dr Nachwalter
