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.
Very professional, knowledgeable,thorough and guided me to the absolutely best procedure for me.

Dr. Nestor performed a hip replacement on me approximately 3 years ago. I’m now back to fly fishing in rivers, bow hunting in rugged terrain, exercising most days. He did a phenomenal job.

I had a total hip replacement performed by Dr. Nestor. I chose Dr. Nestor after seeing several surgeons. He is highly competent, thorough, and kind. The staff were attentive and caring. Things went as planned and I'm doing well. I wouldn't hesitate to see Dr. Nestor again if needed.

Dr. Nestor was my surgeon at HSS in NYC for over 11 years. Best surgeon, He's the best at what he does. He's intelligent, smart, committed and dedicated to his patients care and well being. He cares about his patients and I couldn't help caring about him after being together so many years because of so many surgeries! I trusted him with my life, my wellbeing and care.

Dr. Nestor recognized that I was a candidate for bi-lateral total hip replacement. Because of his excellent skills I recovered completely and have regained my previous joie de vivre. People cannot even believe the range of motion that I have pain free! Thank you, Dr. Nestor!

Brian was not straight with me on what would happen after my surgery. He also has a reputation of "selling you in" and throwing all other approaches under the bus. He is not well educated when it comes to soft tissue issues resulting from his surgery.

Bait & switch comes to Summit. I did a great deal of research before deciding on Dr. Nestor. I made an appointment last week, transferred my records & had two telephone appointment confirmations. Today hours after confirming the appointment, a staff member calls to inform me with no explanation or apology that "we" will need to reschedule with another surgeon because Dr. Nestor is not seeing new patients. I guess surgeons at Summit are simply generic widget makers and interchangeable!

Kind,knowledgeable and patient.
Dr. Nestor replaced both my hips and has been extremely competent for each surgery as well as all follow up visits over the years. I feel like a friend is paying me a visit when he enters the room.
