-Suzanne Jaszkowski in Las Vegas, NV | May 13, 2017

I had a full hip replacement ten months ago; Dr. Nevins was my surgeon. Since then, I have lost weight, gained muscle, and am no longer in pain! Dr. Nevins gave me a few different options of things I could try instead of surgery, and though none of them had long lasting effects, he never pushed for me to go under the knife until I was ready. My only regret is that I didn't have the surgery two years earlier!!!

Las Vegas, NV | Feb 05, 2017

Rude staff. If you question them about treatment, you will get a letter discharging you. Your lucky if you can get an appointment in 4 months. Don't waste your time.

-Thomas j in Las Vegas | Oct 21, 2016

Bad staff and doctor would not use this guy he will tell you need surgery right away just so he can make his money even if you don't need it for a long while

-Tom C in Las Vegas | Oct 21, 2016

Needed a procedure done in my knee and his staff was rude and very unpleasant to work with did not follow up with me and he back the staff up even though they were rude would not recommend this doctor to anybody always long waiting periods in the waiting room to see him he overbooked all his appointments

-Diana Esquerra in Las Vegas, NV | Feb 21, 2016

One year ago after an accident and arriving at Spring valley I was met by Dr Nevins. It's a long story and I'm now in physical therapy. The point here is Dr Nevins was so thorough, so accommodating, his incredible bedside manner is bare none. His office runs like a fine Swiss watch. A very remarkable man, Doctor and Human Being. All that know Dr. Nevins will tell you there is no other.

-L Buckley in Las Vegas, Nevada | Feb 13, 2016

Dr. Nevins was great. He was very thorough explaining my surgery and recovery and answered numerous questions. I have recommended three other friends to him and they were very happy as well.

Malpractice Claims
No malpractice history found for Nevada.
What is medical malpractice
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice is issued when negligence by a doctor causes injury to a patient. For example, a doctor may improperly diagnose, treat or medicate outside the standard of medical care. The three types of malpractice are: a settlement, an arbitration award, or a judgment.
If my doctor has malpractice history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact the quality of care you receive. Claim settlements and arbitration awards may occur for a variety of reasons, which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the doctor's professional competence or conduct.
You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the doctor about his or her history and specific ability to provide healthcare for you.
How far back does Healthgrades malpractice history go?
Healthgrades reports details of a doctor’s malpractice history when the doctor has at least one closed medical malpractice claim within the last five years, even if he or she no longer practices in that state.
For which states does Healthgrades collect malpractice history?
Healthgrades collects malpractice information from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact your quality of care. Sometimes multiple states report the same claim. If a provider practices in a state where data is unavailable, please reach out to your local state legislature to help make this data publicly available.
0
Sanctions
No sanctions history found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What is a sanction or disciplinary action
What is a sanction or disciplinary action?
A sanction, also known as a disciplinary action, is an action taken to punish or restrict a doctor who has demonstrated professional misconduct. Sanctions may be imposed by a state medical board, professional medical licensing organization, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
If my doctor has sanction history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor-quality doctor. Some sanctions are not related to medical care, and involve a doctor’s finances or administrative activities. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, we recommend that you evaluate the doctor’s sanction information and determine how severe or relevant you think the sanction cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades sanction history go?
Healthgrades reports state and federal sanctions from the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect sanction history?
Healthgrades collects sanction history from all 50 U.S. states. Physicians with a disciplinary action in one state may move to another state where they have a clean record. Since Healthgrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, Healthgrades website will show if a physician has a disciplinary action in more than one state.
0
Board Actions
No board actions found for the years that Healthgrades collects data.
What are board actions
What are board actions?
Board actions are non-disciplinary actions imposed upon a doctor based on a complaint investigation. A patient or medical colleague may file a complaint with that state medical board or professional licensing organization, which then investigates the complaint. Board actions are intended to ensure that a doctor is able to perform safe medical and health care tasks.
Types of non-disciplinary actions include an advisory letter, a corrective action agreement, a limitation or restriction on the medical or healthcare tasks a doctor can perform, or a voluntary agreement by the doctor not to practice. A board action can also include a termination of a corrective action agreement or voluntary agreement, which allows the doctor to return to full practice.
If my doctor has a board action, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?
If a doctor has a board action, it means he or she has had a non-disciplinary action imposed upon him or her. It does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor quality doctor. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, evaluate the doctor's board action information and determine how severe or relevant you think the cause and action were.
How far back does Healthgrades non-disciplinary board action history go?
Healthgrades reports non-disciplinary board action history from for the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.
For which states does Healthgrades collect non-disciplinary board actions?
Healthgrades collects non-disciplinary board actions from all 50 U.S. states.
