Dr. Mahmoud Nagib, MD

Dr. Nagib saved me from a life of pain. I could not walk, lay down or sleep without pain in my back and leg and was severely impaired. He operated on me in April 2023 for 2 severely compressed nerves and a bone spur. I have been pain free ever since and am eternally grateful to him. He is an amazing neurosurgeon, and I highly recommend him.

My sister had a very rare tumor that Dr. Nagib operated on. She ended up passing due to complications after the surgery. My sister was also a doctor and the most caring and compassionate doctor you could ever ask for. Dr. Nagib NEVER made an effort to visit us the day we pulled her off life support and I saw him in the hallway when she passed. He may be a good surgeon but I'd never recommend him.

Dr. Nagib was very understanding and very helpful with all 4 of my neck surgeries. I have a degenerative bone disorder. Dr. Nagib also is so knowledgeable and willing to take the time to explain everything to you in normal terms not all the medical terminology which can get confusing. I highly recommend him.

I had surgery by Dr Nagib. He took a lot of time to explain my condition and answer my many questions. He’s VERY skilled at what he does and he has years of experience . I felt comfortable with him instantly. My surgery went well, I am thankful every day that I found him!

Dr Nagib is fantastic. Everyone on his team is fantastic. I have nothing bad to say and am so happy that I chose to have my 3rd surgery with him. He fixed it all and I am forever grateful for his kindness and compassion he showed me. Thank you for everything you do, you are truely a wonderful human being.

This guy needs to retire. He was trained in the 70's and has not kept up with state of the art modalities and my outcomes suffered from it. He performed a routine lumbar discectomy/laminotomy in 2015 on me using an open approach because I "was not a candidate for minimally invasive approaches." I was left with permanent neuro deficit which has negatively affected my quality of life greatly. He knew it within hours of recovery and down played it. I have since consulted with other surgeons who have more experience with microscopic/endoscopic approaches who would have treated using such approaches. After many years of pain and transient radiculopathy I am scheduled for a redo procedure to clean up this mess Nagib created. Again, this guy needs to retire.

Absent with bad staff.

Dr. Nagib is absolutely fantastic. I read some of these reviews beforehand and was riddled with anxiety. I thought he would be cold and rude. He was so kind and welcoming. He performed a lumbar laminectomy on me 4/21. I was up and walking within 4 hours and off narcotics within 4 days. Many other surgeons require their patients to lay flat for days. My scar is barely noticeable and my pain is gone. I cannot thank him enough and highly recommend him. Oh! His one nurse kinda sucks but that’s not his fault. He didn’t hire her. His PA is great too. They’re a solid team. You’ll be in great hands with them.

Nagib is a highly skilled neurosurgeon, he has been practicing for many years. However, don't expect to see him personally other than before surgery or if a decision needs to be escalated in order to have surgery. Nagib is great with cases that tend to follow textbook, depending on what your condition is, he may be a great fit, he has performed some complex surgeries. But some conditions, he sticks to textbook symptoms and will only act until symptoms become life-threatening. While I can't recommend him based on past experiences with him, he is good at what he does if you are not an outlier of your condition.

Dr Nagib and his team took such amazing care of our son who had skull surgery at 4 months old. His heart is in his job.

Back in 2009 Dr. Nagib did my cervical spine fusions. I had three levels done with prevail cages used as the new discs. He is an AMAZING surgeon! Very kind hearted.. compassionate about his work and his patients! He is the BEST surgeon in my book! I felt so safe with Dr. Nagib doing my surgery. He was so caring and concerned about me. Totally puts his patients first! He is a very Humble man and only cares about making you better and to make sure the best is done. His 47 years of surgical experience and his expertise gave me the confidence to go forward with my surgery. He did a remarkable job! I am so thankful for Dr. Nagib! I wouldn't go anywhere else !! Thank you Dr. Nagib for giving me my life back and making me pain free!?? I am so grateful for his special skills and being the top neurosurgeon!

Dr Nagib saved my life not once but 4 times. He has no ego, has the best bedside manner, takes the time to explain things to you. His PA Sharon is extremely knowledgeable, also takes the time to make sure you understand everything you are going through. I have had 3 crainiotomys to remove 1 large meningioma and 3 other aggressive chordoid meningiomas and a 4 surgery due to skull infection and had to have my right skull reconstructed and a titanium plate put in. I now have 2 chordoid meningioma’s and either Dr Nagib or Sharon always call me back in a timely manner when I have questions. I would and have highly, highly recommended Dr Nagib to anyone. In my opinion he is the best neurosurgeon out there.

Dr. Nagib saved my life when I had a large meningioma tumor that needed immediate removal. It was in a challenging location, but he was able to remove the entire tumor saving me from needing radiation if there had been any left.

A very kind and brilliant neurosurgeon!

When I was told that I had a spinal cord mass, Dr. Nagib was the only Neurosurgeon I considered. He is the best in the Twin Cities. The excellent post surgical outcome that I've experienced is due entirely to the skill of Dr. Nagib. I will always be thankful and feel gratitude for his kindness, compassion and talent as a surgeon.

Dr. Nagib has an amazing God-given gift...He preformed spinal surgery on my daughter in 2009, and also shunt surgeries in 2012...He always has the patients best interest in mind, and treats them as if they were his own...His nurses and staff that work with him, are also amazing! May the Lord bless you for using your gift to benefit so many...we are eternally gratefully for the love and care our daughter received from you and your staff.

This doctor has negleted to return my calls since my spine surgery. Totally incommunicado! I have symptons that I need clarification on but get no response from him. I recommend you find a surgeon with follow through and a heart.

This man is the best in his field. Brain surgery on son and grandson with excellent results. These people giving of themselves daily With this not everything can be perfect. So glad we glad we have them. Thank you

I had back surgery in March and the results have been simply amazing. Period

Dr Nagib is an excellent neurosurgeon. He is considered by many neurologists and primary care doctors as well, to be the best neurosurgeon in Minnesota, and the Midwest. I have heard from several other doctors who have said he is in the top 10 of neurosurgeons in the WORLD. Dr. Nagib has done 3 surgeries on my cervical section of my neck. He has kept me not only alive but walking talking and breathing on my own. Without Dr Nagib, I would not be here.
