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. Nagengast is a wonder diagnostician and surgeon. He is also very kind and makes you feel comfortable.

Dr. Nagengast came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I believe God puts people in our paths and I feel very blessed to have had Dr. Nagengast and his staff in my life. He is very calm and patient which really helps put you at ease. He relates to his patients very well and makes a concerted effort to do so.

I tried to press no stars yeah, but it wouldn't let me. This man performed outpatient hernia surgery on my sister. Apparently, his success has gone to his head. The lackadaisical manner in which he treated my sister with, killed her. After going home, she had called his office to complain about pain she was having. The receptionist on the phone, home apparently is free to give diagnosis to his patients, told her she had had a bunch of things moved around inside of her, and it is going to hurt. But during the operation, nicked her intestines, which immediately started the process of going septic. after the initial operation being performed on a Wednesday, finally decided to take a look at her on Tuesday the following week. By then of course, it was way too late to save her. With her husband and her immediate family by her side, and her daughter in route from Dallas , never regained consciousness. After the previous Friday, I never got to speak to my big sister again.

Dr. Nagengast is the only doctor I would ever go to for any general surgery procedure. He has done three procedures for me so far and each one has been a great experience. He has a very mild manner and great, soft approach which can ease any nerves. He cares a great deal about the comfort and healing of his patients and does excellent work. His nurse Angie also has a great bed side manner, answers/returns phone calls timely and explains and answers any questions thoroughly.
