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. Nash is excellent.
Very informative, all questions answered and allowed patient to make informed decision. Dr. Nash is truly professional and does not rush through the appointment.

Best of the Best
CSMO has assembled a great team overall. The best of this team is Dr. Nash and his staff. Dr. Nash has now done two knee replacements for me and I can’t praise him enough. Of his many pluses, his listening skills, explanations and empathy (to say nothing of his incision-closing expertise) stand out especially. Having had a good number of surgical procedures over the years from a good number of surgeons (ranging from very good to very poor) I would recognize Dr. Nash as the best of the best. I can’t thank him or the rest of CSMO enough.

Best If the Best
Had my second knee replacement yesterday and my first one almost 2 years ago. Nash did both of my surgeries. I HIGHLY recommend him. He is so compassionate and actually listens to me. He is very professional in all he does.

1st visit
I just had my first visit with Dr. Nash yesterday & found him to be genuine, compassionate, and extremely easy to have an honest conversation with. He listened to me without any sense of rushing me or being in a hurry. His exam of my knees, the explanations of the x-rays & my options were presented in an easy to understand way. Each staff member that I encountered was also super kind. While I am not looking forward to knee replacement, I do feel safe in my choice of Dr. Nash to perform it.

Dr. Nash did my total knee replacement in October 2023 and he has taken excellent care of me. He is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met and always makes me feel heard and understood. I would recommend him to anyone!

Old school Dr!
The appt was exactly on time and the MA Shelby was efficient, attentive, polite and professional. She took all pertinent and information and then x-ray took me in and scanned me. Dr Nash came in with his scribe and went over my options - surgical, non-surgical and timelines. OLD SCHOOL Doctoring! He is a wonderful communicator and discusses all options, timelines. Incredibly comfortable and cannot recommend Dr Nash and his practice more.

Dr. Nash is an amazing surgeon and a lovely person
Excellent in every way. Dr. Nash is THE BEST and everyone on his team reflects that same level of excellence in their roles as well. They are expert, caring, and kind. When you are having a complicated, life-changing surgery like total knee replacement, the anxiety level is high. You can rest assured that you will be listened to carefully, responded to quickly and treated respectfully by every member of this team, most of all by Dr. Nash, who is beloved by all who work with him as well as his patients. You are in gifted hands with this practice.
