I've seen Dr. Tindel twice so far in 6 months to discuss the DDD in my L4/L5. He was the 5th surgeon I've seen in the last 16 years, and the first doctor to close the door for privacy, express with the utmost sincerity and kindness a care for listening and understanding of my story, my pain, my condition and my goals, and the first to not rush me out the door with a prescription for NSAIDS. He is always engaging, empathetic and thoughtful in interpreting and explaining my condition. I immediatel

I see myself as a smart consumer. I come from a medical family and have a lot of health care experience.. Dr. Tindel is one of the greatest doctors I have even interacted with. Intelligent, caring, supportive, hard-working, etc. Not to mention, he is an amazing surgeon. There is no other doctor I would trust as much operating on my spine. I have recommended him multiple times and I know those people have also been thrilled with his care.

We consider ourselves lucky when we find a great doctor but know we are blessed when we find a healer. Dr. Nathaniel Tindel is a true healer - he is possibly an angel! He cared for my physical needs and understood the emotional component to my physical crisis. I opted for surgery and due to his skill and continued care my life has literally been restored. I also can't provide enough praise to his office staff who were able to fast track my insurance issues - they are dedicated, skilled and kind

5.0 star rating 11/2/2017 Two years ago I was diagnosed with an infection in my spine. The infection was actually "eating up" the bones in my spine. I was in severe pain for 3 months going from Orthopedist, Neurologist, and Pain management doctors. Finally, I ended up in the emergency room on Christmas eve. Dr Tindel explained my situation and told me I needed to have surgery and antibiotic therapy or my spine would completely deteriorate. His bedside manner was so soothing and he was so kind

DR. Tindel is an incredible physician. He is thoughtful, kind and caring. I was seen same day after a referral for excruciating neck & arm pain from neck disc issues. I was in surgery one week later. Two discs were removed and the bones fused. I had been dealing with this for over 15 yrs, with the last episode over 5 yrs ago. But this time the pain was intolerable. After 4 weeks, 2 other doctors, meds. & Epidural steroid injections I saw Dr. Tindel and I'm so glad I did. I highly recommend him!

Dr Tindel recently performed my ACDF c5-6,c6-7. It is a miracle. I consulted with 3 other surgeons but held back from the surgery for many years due to fear of paralysis. Dr Tindel made me feel safe. He spent a large amount of time with me and explained all the details to me. He is always available if I need him. He is a genuinely good person, and an excellent surgeon. I recommend him to anyone considering spinal surgery.

My daughter got scoliosis surgery last July. After years of pain and discomfort, she can enjoy life. Dr. Tindel did an excellent job! Very professional, kind and knowledgeable.
