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.
