He was rude and not compassionate. The staff at Carle were terrible. I would never recommend him.

After dealing with severe walking pain caused by bulging disc's, I finally broke down and went to a surgeon. I chose Dr. Nardone because he was highly referred. Boy, am I glad I did. Nothing major, just a 5 hour surgery fising 3 vertebrae and removing a disc replacing it with a cage. Walked pain-free that same afternoon. Thank you Dr. Nardone and his resident Dr. Gina. Fabulous job.

I chose Dr Nardone when I was referred to a back surgeon after failed epidurals. He came highly recommended by medical staff who had experienced working in the OR with him as well as several medical doctors. To say that he “gave me back my life” is an understatement. The relief from my pain was instantaneous! My need for pain medication is gone. I can do the things I loved again without the pain and I will be forever grateful to Dr Nardone. The office staff and nurses were all top notch. My MRI was reviewed and the cause of ... read more

If this is the arrogant man that works in Charleston Illinois as well, I saw him last year and treated me like a dog. I’ve already had two back surgeries/fusion, cervical fusion, and my hands done. Still have herniations. He was more concerned saying” Why are you here now? Why didn’t you come to me the first time? You come here and want me to clean up someone else’s mess? Get off the pain meds. Your knees will stop hurting also. Bye” Then after he left, his nurses were apologizing for his action and he yelled her name to get... read more

My daughter had cervical surgery for bulging disc on a Frid She went home same day and began vomiting as reaction from anesthesia. COULDN'T contact this doctor for anything. Called the number on the instruction sheet, no answer, not even answering service. Called hospital to try to find him, the person with whom I spoke had no clue how to find him. Finally went to ER where they couldn't contact him. I started to wonder if this person was real. They finally reached his associate who prescribed anti-nausea meds. We returned to... read more

I have had 2 spinal stenosis surgeries with Dr. Nardone (2010 & 2019) . Both have been highly successful. I can't say enough about his skill as a surgeon. He is top notch. I have gone from barely being able to walk and lots of pain on both surguries and feel the skill level and office care has been coordinated and outstanding at the Neuro Science Clinci here in Bloomington.

I am an 83 year old male with Spinal Stenosis. For months my back was bothering me. I figured it was an age thing and I would have to live with it. But the thought of it getting worse scared me. Dr Nardone convinced me that sergury for my condition had a 95 percent success rate. Following surgery, I am pain free, and am so thankfull to Dr Nardone and his staff, who are the best there is.

Never took time to figure out where my back pain was actually coming from just Assumed it was a bulging disc NOW I have failed back surgery, herniated disc, severe spinal stenosis and am unable to walk without pain and after surgery missed a tiny piece of bone and didn't take time to figure out had a resident figure out why I was in extreme pain - had to have another four hour surgery to fix - hospital stay six days

I assumed I would live with pain and numbness in my left arm and shoulder. After meeting with Dr Nardone he recommended surgery. As I woke up in recovery, the pain was GONE. The numbness was GONE. Dr. Nardone sets the standard for professionalism. I am blessed to have had the guidance of his skillful hand erase my pain.Have no doubt that he is the BEST.
