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. Nabers has completed 4 different surgeries on me over the last 10 years, most recently, last week. Each surgery has been flawless from a patient perspective. His bedside manner, even in the co-op parking lot is the best. I first met him working in the ER, let's just say over 20 yrs ago... lol Excellent Physician Good man!

If it wasn’t for Dr. Nabers. I wouldn’t be here right now writing this review. I had a very bad accident 5yrs ago. I was sent to UAB due to my head injury. I had also suffered a very large laceration on my upper left leg, which was stitched up in the ER before sending me to UAB the next day because the person who read my Head CT did not see the fractured skull and two brain bleeds. While I was at UAB they did not assign a wound care specialist. Even though I repeatedly asked them to check the large laceration. They discharged me several days later after repairing my left ankle which required a titanium plate and 8 screws. Upon returning home my stitches became infected and torn out. I had developed MRSA. I went back to the hospital. Dr. Hugh Nabers was assigned my case. It took three debridement surgeries and a skin graft he and Stephanie Lee the Wound Care Specialist saved me from having to have my leg a mutated at the hip. I owe my excellent care to him and Ms. Stephanie

Dr Nabors did my surgery last week. May 23,2019 He has a very caring attitude when it comes to his patients. He had a great knowledge about the procedure he preformed. If i ever had to have surgery again I would definitely go to him. I highly recommend him for your surgical needs
