Dr. Nussbaum if you can call him a “doctor” has failed as a medical professional . I was under his care for a worker comp case, to which he never did anything to help my medical needs. He fail to read my most current mri , rather he read old ones and provided false statements to my workers comp insurance team. He stated I was “exaggerating” my pain. I had an appt on 2/11/2025 instead of calling me, he called my nurse case manager to his office to let me know he would not see me. He proceeded with sighting and rolling his eyes. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! If you see this man for ANY medical care find someone else. The state medical board will be hearing from this. This man needs his license revoked .
