Mr. Doctor, Richard Nussbaum is a great surgeon work on mi spine surgery,
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
Highly Recommend
Excellent Doctor very knowledgeable and please to have met him.

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