I'm 1 week out from my Microdiscectomy of L4/L5 Dr. Nolden did on me and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm back at work with minimal discomfort that's getting better daily. After not being able to walk for months from the sciatic pain and dealing with another doctor prior to Dr. Nolden who continued to recommend only epidural injections (3 total), Dr. Nolden looked at my images and knew exactly what to do. I highly recommend Dr. Nolden.

Great doctor had surgery for stenosis and healing well. Have 2 family members having surgery too. He treats what others won’t touch. Had no problems with scheduling or rudeness form anyone.

Dr Nolden may be a good doctor but he has little or no regard for his patients. It took three weeks to get an appointment which was then rescheduled and cancelled twice by a less than service oriented staff. The office waiting room functions like a meat market. I would rather find another doctor who can honor appointments than go through this again. After an MRI, last year it took 4 weeks to get in to see Dr. Nolden just to get the results.

You cannot schedule an appointment through a main office -- you have to call his so-called assistant and then wait for her to call you back. She never seems to answer the phone, so you also have to leave a voice message. I did just that and now some 8 days later I'm still waiting to hear back!!! And I all wanted to do was schedule an appoitment, after I was referred to the doctor by one his colleagues. The "assistant" claims that she will return all calls with a day or two. NOT!!!!!

Dr. Mark Nolden and his assistant were terrific. I was diagnosed with a degenerative disc, and he explained everything in great detail, answered my questions and gave me many options. Last resort will be surgery. He recommended a lumbar injection and made me aware that there was a possibility that I would need more than one but no more than three. I had a my 3rd one recently and I feel 95% better. If you are looking for an Orthopedic Surgeon I would highly recommend him.

I had a laminectomy and spinal fusion four years ago with Dr. Nolden. I am feeling great and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking help. He was honest and direct, confident and kind. He is a very quiet person but after seeing two other doctors who recommended the same surgery he did, I knew instantly when I met and talked with him that he was the doctor I trusted with my spine. The results proved my feelings to be the right ones.

Dr Nolden has been great to me and did a great job on my spinal fusion. I am about 2 months out and am feeling significantly better. I like his assistant and his PA, both of whom are very helpful and nice. I was dissapointed in how much my insurance did not cover, however don't feel that should affect my feelings towards Dr. Nolden and his office. Good doctor, would (and have) recommend.

DR. NOLDEN DID A EXCELLENT JOB ON MY SPINAL FUSION. I FELT GOOD AFTER THE SURGERY. HOWEVER, MY PAIN RETURNED 1 YEAR AFTER SURGERY AND HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE BY THE MONTH. DR. NOLDEN COULD NOT SEE A REASON FOR MY PAIN BY LOOKING AT THE X-RAYS. THE SPINAL FUSION WAS SUCESSFULL. HOWEVER, AFTER A MRI AND CT SCAN HE DISCOVERED THAT I HAVE SPINAL STENOSIS. I NOW FEEL LIKE I AM DEALING WITH A DIFFERENT DOCTOR. I WANT TO GIVE HIM A GOOD REVIEW FOR THE GREAT JOB HE DID ON MY FIRST SURGERY. HOWEVER, NOW HE TREATS ME LIKE A MAILINGERING PEST. HE SEEMS TO DISMISS THE AMOUNT OF PAIN I AM IN AND HOW IT IS EFFECTING MY LIFE. I THOUGHT ONCE HE FOUND THE SPINAL STANOSIS ON MY LAST SET OF TESTS, HE MIGHT ACT AT THOUGH HE BELIEVES ME, BUT I STILL FEEL THAT HE THINKS I AM NOTHING BUT A WORKERS COMP MAILINGER. IN CONCLUSION, MY SURGERY WENT WELL AND MY CARE FROM HIM AND EVERYONE IN HIS OFFICE WAS GREAT. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT BEEN HAPPY WITH THE SERVICE I HAVE RECEIVED CONCERNING MY SPINAL STENOSIS.
