Patient Reviews Mar 12, 2012 RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN
After reading all  of these reviews, I am starting to realize that the positive ones are coming  from patients that had they're own insurance, The negative ones are from the  patients that were forced to see him via workmans comp. In a nutshell.....if you  are a workmans comp case, refuse to see him. You will be sorry. I paid out of  pocket for 2 other surgions to look at me after he did back surgery on me. Both  of them told me that he butchered me and now I have more perm. damage and need a  2nd surgery that requires pins, rods and plates. The 1st surgery was the most  simple surgery you could have done and he failed. You do have a choice with  workmans comp. Stay away or be sorry later.

View rating details Sep 15, 2011 RUDE AND UNCARING
After waiting in the exam  room for an hour, I spoke with Dr. Nachwalter for about 3 minutes.  Then I had  the x-ray done and waited another 20 minutes for him to return.  Then showing me  where the problem is that's causing my pain he said, "You're gonna have to live  with the pain."This doctor is rude and uncaring.  I would not recommend him to  anyone, nor am I returning to him.  I asked my worker's comp insurance company  for a referral to a different doctor.
View rating details Oct 7, 2010 Forced to use him by the insurance company, My surgery was a failure,  I now have more problems since he butchered me then before. he told me that the  success rate is 90%. never felt any good after the surgery. It took 3 months  after surgery to get a MRI and had to have an EMG using my insurance to find  that he caused a pinched nerve and needs to have more procedures done. what a  mistake.
View rating details Jun 30, 2010 FULL OF HIMSELF.. Reviewer: he knows who I am
My  story would be too long for the space alloted but in brief.Do not let his  Plastic smile fool you.  This so call excellent Dr is  amongst other things,  Rude, dismissive, close minded, uncaring, judgemental of people appearence and  does not understand that some people have different believes.He refuses to try  to make his patients comfortable before or after care with pain meds since he  "doesnt believe in them unless you are Terminal".  My surgery was a complete  failure, I know have more problems since he butchered me then before.  He is a  Pawn for the Insurance companies (by whom I was force to see) in keeping cost  down and is only worried about his Success rate. (95% so he says)He is slow with  after care, It took 6 months after surgery to get a MRI and EMG to find that he  caused a pinched nerve and needs to put me through yet another procedure ($). 
View rating details Mar 29, 2010 VERY RUDE!
This Dr. thinks he's too good to  see his patients and makes you feel like your a waste of his time..unpleasant,  and doesn't take his time to talk and get to know the patients problem..Very  sarcastic I wouldn't reccomend him to anyone..

Avoid at all costs
View rating details Nov 14, 2008 NEVER TREATED SO RUDELY
This Dr should not be  in a field dealing with real people, with medical issues. Very uncaring, very  rude, dimissive and abrasive. Talks down to patients.  DO NOT  RECOMMEND!
View rating details Aug 26, 2008 WASTE OF TIME
he will make you feel that you  are a waste of his time.
View rating details Jun 14, 2010 STAFF WAS RUDE Reviewer: Joachim Hackl
After visiting the doctor the nurse  offered my to get a pre certification, if i need one. I called her up and told  her that i needed one, but she told me that there are other patients waiting and  i have to wait 24 hours to get one. I really can't understand why she first  offering me to get one so i can get a MRI today and than she is to busy. I would  never go again to this doctor.

Should be ashamed of him self !!

I was sent to Natchwalter years ago after hurting my self at work,after pain injections,therapy etc. I still had no relief,Natchwalter explained a very difficult long surgery I would need I wasn't happy but if it would help the pain I was in on a daily basis and getting worse every day I would have it done. Well after waiting weeks for his report and to hear something from the insurance company all of a sudden my lawyer calls to say that in his report he disagrees that surgery would help me and I should try therapy again and that was that !! I couldn't believe it,my guess is after talking to the insurance company he all of a sudden changed his mind even went as far as acting like the conversation never took place when I was told I had to see him one more time. I couldn't believe what a small little pompous ass he was/is. This was 5-6 years ago, I have been in constant pain since,to the point where I could work and that would be it I couldn't do much else because of the pain. I just had surgery after getting 3 opinions,using my own insurance all 3 Doctors told me if I had the surgery years ago I wouldn't have required the extensive surgery I just had but the damage had gotten alot worse over the years so I ended up having a 7 hour surgery. I know it's only been a week but I can feel the difference between the constant pain I had and the post-op pain I'm dealing with now,my Dr expects me to be much better and to start doing activities I had long given up on because of the pain,like simple things,walking my dogs bike riding. Thanks to that little man with a huge ego I lost years of my life. Thank God he didn't do surgery he probably would have screwed it up any way. His office staff is as rude as he is and they actually yell across the room "it's a comp case" as if we deserve to be treated like degenerites because we got hurt at work. He's a sell out and should not be aloud to operate on animals let alone people !! So I agree RUN,even if your using your own insurance would you want a Dr. that locks and chooses who gets quality care and the right diagnoses based on who's paying the bill ???

fraudulent medical reports

Nachwalter, falsified my workman compensation medical reports so that the insurance company wouldn't have to pay for my medical care any more.  He told me that my pain was all in my head, and I just have to live with the pain.  he refused to give me pain medications or refer me to a pain management doctor, even when he stated that he would.  He lied on my medical reports and stated that I refused treatment.  IT was a LIE!!!  He told me it was all in my head, and that all of my medical reports was a lie and I might as well go and take heroin.  He called me a drug addict and said that pain meds. is only for cancer patients.  He said I was faking so I could get drugs.  He said any other treatments I had was fake and i was given placebos.  He said any shots I got was saline?????  He should be disbared, and the insurance companies should be put out of business.  I will not stop until something is done!!!!  LET'S GO!!!
