Capable, caring, and reassuring are attributes I admire in Dr. Nash. He did my first total knee replacement and I'm blessed to have him as my surgeon the second time around.
I'm so grateful.

Having dealt with many orthopedic specialists in the last 40 years I can say with confidence that Dr. Nash is the finest orthopod from which I have ever had the good fortune to receive care. He and his staff are as good as it ever gets on orthopedics.

Dr Nash is a caring and compassionate surgeon. He takes time to listen and discuss your personal concerns with you. My hip replacement with Dr Nash was one of the best decisions I have ever made. It was literally life changing. I would recommend him with no reservations at all.
