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.

Amazing Dr. So friendly and compassionate!
Multiple family members have seen him and have loved him!

Great care and compassion
I have heard patients in the waiting room saying the dirt waiting too long to see the doctor. These patients need to understand that sometimes you have to wait to see the best! You never know if your doctor is going to be called out as an emergency surgery or he just is taking more acute injuries! I am very proud to say that I would definitely doctor Paul Nassab. He is definitely worth at least a three-hour wait in the waiting room!

Dr. Nassau is a wonderful doctor with a very good bedside manner. He is kind and explains things to you. He is concerned about your health. He did surgery twice for me and was simply wonderful. I broke my humours bone and tore my rotator cuff so had to have surgery , then 6 months later I fell and broke my wrist and he again done the surgery. I tell people about him all the time.

We are finally going to have to cancel our employee's surgery due to the work comp coordinator, nurse, and doctor not returning any calls. I would not use them for worker's compensation cases due to lack of communication.

Best doctor I have been to ( and I have been to a number of doctors in the KC, Las Vegas, Seattle area for various injuries/surgeries). Truly puts in the time and effort to show he cares and fully explains the diagnosis & next steps. I highly recommend anyone looking for a hand doctor in the KC area to go see Dr. Nassab. You will not be disappointed. Thank you!

Dr. Nassab performed bilateral carpal tunnel release surgery on me over 5 years ago. It went unbelievably well. I had suffered for several years and after the surgery I had IMMEDIATE relief of numbness and pain in both my arms/hands. Able to sleep through the night without the symptoms waking me up! I don't understand patients that don't use a certified hand surgeon for this surgery. Not only is Dr. Nassab an expert, but he is extremely kind and caring. Highly recommend!

Reconstructed my UCL in my thumb few years ago. Got me in faster than expected and was so professional. I was worried I would not play ball again and he made me 100% again. By far the best experience I have ever had with a doctor.

I had a very bad accident several years ago and Dr. Nassib put my arm back together. I have no doubt without his surgical expertise at best I'd have no function at worst amputation. He is the most caring doctor I've ever known. Anyone would be truly blessed to have him as their doctor. I will be eternally grateful to him. Ronda

I was recommended to Dr. Nassab by my former Doctor that was moving out of town. He wanted to make sure I was left with someone that cares about their patients like him. He HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Dr. Nassab and I see why. Now I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to everyone with hand injuries. Thank you Dr. NASSAB and staff.

I can't say enough about Dr. Nassab. My son had a horrible accident while working in Kansas City. Dr. Nassab was quick to diagnosis my son with compartment syndrome and immediately took him to surgery after one week in the hospital he was released to drive the long drive home to Maryland. He went the extra mile to call us on the road and gave us his cell phone if we needed him. He also lined up a doctor for us to see in Washington D.C for his follow up visit. I can not thank this man enough
