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.

Dr, Nachbauer and his team are very professional and very pleased with the procedures performed on both legs in 2018. No problems since surgery.

Performed carotid artery surgery last spring 2018. Surgery was very successful with absolutely no complications or untoward after effects. Dr. Nachbauer is very pleasant and informative. His office staff are efficient and pleasant with there being virtually no wait time to see the doctor. Very satisfied. ps: Looked up Dr Nachbauer after a very unpleasant interaction with a Vascular Surgeon in Saranac Lake.

I felt that I was in very good hands. I felt the provider was very competent and answered all my questions. I didn't think treating my varicose veins was going to be so easy. I thought it was going to be painful and it wasn't at all. The staff was highly qualified and I felt very safe with them treating my veins.

My fears of this new procedure were quickly put to ease by Dr. and his competent staff. If you need work on your veins this is the place to go. They\'ve given me my legs back.
