I feel bad because I thought my appointment was at 11am but afterwards I notice a text saying my appointment was at 10am. I thought he was running an hour plus behind when it was my fault for being an hour late. I am very sorry.

I cannot express enough gratitude to Dr. Richard Nussbaum! He is truly an exceptional surgeon and an incredible doctor! I underwent spine surgery, and the results have been absolutely amazing! I am beyond happy with the outcome and incredibly grateful for his expertise, professionalism, and outstanding care. From the very beginning, I felt confident that I was in the best possible hands. Dr. Nussbaum is not only a highly skilled surgeon but also a compassionate doctor who genuinely cares about his patients. I feel so fortunate to have found him. He has made such a positive difference in my life, and I will always be grateful! If you are looking for an outstanding spine surgeon, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Nussbaum. He is truly the BEST! Thank you so much, Doctor, for everything you have done for me!

I was 25 minutes early. For a 2:00 appointment I didn’t get Into a a waiting room until 2:35. After the nurse practitioner check me in the doctor did not see me until 2:50. I had to leave at 2:55 my ride was waiting for me. I could not cancel or get a new ride. I doubt I’ll ever go back to a doctor that overbooks himself

He is a good doctor but not spend enough time with patients. Due to extream schedule?
