Dr. Tindel was amazing. A top-notch doctor and surgeon with an excellent bedside manner. I am now completely pain-free and can't thank him enough!

I had a spinal fusion on March 12, after fracturing my spine. I was able to return to work the first week of April. My recovery has been incredible. Today at my appointment I was cleared to resume all regular activity. The scar on my back is barely noticeable. I had my son take a picture of it to show me and I thought he missed the spot because it is so thin. I couldn't be happier with the surgery performed by Dr. Tindel and his team. A special shout-out to Dr. Mackey who has the most amazing bedside manner and had to put up... read more

He was very thorough and his bed side manner was great. Surgery went better than I ever would have expected.

I strongly recommend Dr Tindel. I had a badly ruptured disc and significant spinal stenosis. As a result, walking more than a few blocks was really difficult - and painful. Dr Tindel performed surgery in 2013. That proved to be the best health decision I've ever made. Recovery was quick. I was walking a mile a couple days later. And I have been running, playing tennis etc and my back has not been an impediment. I no longer have back pain. My experience has been life changing. Dr. Tindel and his staff gave me all the time i n... read more

Dr Tindel spent over 1 hour with me the first time we met, first by listening, then examination, only then followed by reading the MRI to confirm his opinion. He then thoroughly educated me in laymen's terms as to the cause and effect of my condition as well as sharing the prognoses, clearly explaining what the surgery will do, making sure to explain that does not guarantee that the symptoms would go away at a specific time if at all, but I was well informed and educated by an individual that clearly cares. As an active 60 y... read more

I was experiencing right leg pain for months thinking it was muscular. I finally got an MRI that reported I had a severe nerve impingement at L3/L4. I then met with Dr. Tindel a number of times. He went over my conservative treatment options, along with what type of surgery I would need if I decided to go that way. I was very nervous about going in for spine surgery and must have asked him hundreds of questions, many of them the same. Dr Tindel gave me my life back. I am 10+ weeks out from micro discectomy surgery and have n... read more

Dr. Tindel quite literally saved my life, performing an emergency anterior cervical discectomy and fusion 24 hours after a very bad bicycle accident. He has been extremely communicative and kind throughout the recovery process and I still look forward to follow-ups.

The staff were helpful, friendly & efficient. Dr. Tindel is an excellent doctor who will take his time with you. I’m 6 weeks out from my surgery and very happy with the results.

I whole heartedly recommend Dr Nathaniel Tindel for anyone needing back surgery. He is not only a fantastic surgeon, but he is also an amazing and caring person. No matter what day and the time of day, he is always available to return your call. I had a surgery for my back by another surgeon a year before Dr Tindell’s surgery. The first was a complete disaster and made my back pain worse. Dr Tindell not only needed to fix my lower back issues, but he also had to correct the mistakes made by the previous surgeon. The nature o... read more
