Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I went to this office before had two back surgeries and I chose to only go back for my neck surgery. They have always been really nice to me the providers have been!

Excellent Surgeon and Overall Great Human Being
I had the pleaseure of getting to know Dr. El-Naggar back in 2007-08 as a patient. He also performed surgery on me, and after all of these years, I am still in pretty good shape. I visited his office again back in 2020 for an unrelated matter and saw his nurse practitioner, who was professional and kind as well. This man's integrity, skill, and compassion make him stand out above the rest. I am a Dr. El-Naggar fan; Aboslutely

Definitely . He is an amazing Neurosurgeon. He’s done an Aneurysm Clip, a C5//6&6/7fusion , 4 Kyphoplasty for Compression fractures, and I have a Medtronic Implant. He’s the most intelligent and skilled Neurosurgeon in any area . He’s knowledgeable and competent & absolutely outstanding and so is his staff. He’s been my Neurosurgeon for 20 years now. I’m 75 and I’ve had great care through his office and the PA that I see for routine checkups. The fact that I am able to keep walking and I’m mobile. No one would know the surgeries I’ve needed to keep my independence. I very pleased with the results of all my spinal surgeries and extremely grateful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an excellent Neurosurgeon.

I have been to several appointments including a surgical consultation and have never seen Dr El-Naggar. I declined surgery since he doesn't take time to meet patients prior to surgery.

Not even 1 star. I have NOT seen a doctor other than my family doctor Khan in OVER A YEAR. Went today and still didn't see one but, I need surgery that 80% of ALL back surgeries FAIL and already told by Dr. Elnaggar that there is NO surgeries can be done. Nurse Practitioners BETTER Be Practicing on Someone Else. It's NOT going to be Happening with ME!!!!!!!!!!!! So if you think you will see a doctor, think AGAIN WRONG!!!!!!
