For the first time in 2 1/2 yrs I have no pain down my leg and back. Dr Nardone was able to diagnosis my problem and within days did surgery. He has a great bedside manner, so caring and knowledgeable. I appreciated that he was to the point explaining everything. Love that!! Thank you, Dr Nardone.

Five stars for the amazing recovery that I experienced. I was on my feet for 11 hours after after an L4 and L5 procedure. This was a year of back pain.

Best care you could ask for. Excellent surgeon and the staff are all very knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring. So thankful to have this level of care available in our town.

Very good and friendly people

Dr. Nardone brilliantly and quickly determined the cause for the pain and numbness I have had in my leg and foot. Minimally invasive, outpatient surgery could not have been any easier. 100% success.

If this is the arrogant man that works in Charleston Illinois as well, I saw him last year and treated me like a dog. I’ve already had two back surgeries/fusion, cervical fusion, and my hands done. Still have herniations. He was more concerned saying” Why are you here now? Why didn’t you come to me the first time? You come here and want me to clean up someone else’s mess? Get off the pain meds. Your knees will stop hurting also. Bye” Then after he left, his nurses were apologizing for his action and he yelled her name to get me out. I’m a 40 yr old man. Guess what Doc? I gave up the pain meds after that and am getting worse everyday. If I had my pills that day I would’ve threw them at you. You’re no true Doctor. You’re not a nice man that probably came to our country for a good education to make good money. Why would people come see you if they don’t hurt? Learn compassion or get out! Wasted my time but you made your money. Most of his workers will even tell you he’s not a nice man.

My daughter had cervical surgery for bulging disc on a Frid She went home same day and began vomiting as reaction from anesthesia. COULDN'T contact this doctor for anything. Called the number on the instruction sheet, no answer, not even answering service. Called hospital to try to find him, the person with whom I spoke had no clue how to find him. Finally went to ER where they couldn't contact him. I started to wonder if this person was real. They finally reached his associate who prescribed anti-nausea meds. We returned to ER on Saturday and Sunday. Finally found him on Monday morning - she was still vomiting but it had finally lessened. I really think Dr. Nardone's ego was intimidated because I spoke to him in Italian. I think he felt it took away from his "mistique." How is it not to be able to find a doctor for 3 days??? I would not take my dog to him.

I have had 2 spinal stenosis surgeries with Dr. Nardone (2010 & 2019) . Both have been highly successful. I can't say enough about his skill as a surgeon. He is top notch. I have gone from barely being able to walk and lots of pain on both surguries and feel the skill level and office care has been coordinated and outstanding at the Neuro Science Clinci here in Bloomington.

Completely pain free. The Doctor and his office staff are great.

Dr. Nordone and his medical staff are absolutely amazing, nothing but positive attitude from them all.. 18years cleared from my brain tumor all thanks to this doctor.. I couldn’t have asked for a better medical team to do my surgery... thank you again dr. Nordone and his medical team

Dr Nordone always does a great job. He has operated on me and my husband. I did not know I was in such pain until after the surgery. Than I was pain free, all but surgery area. Would have him do surgery again.

I am an 83 year old male with Spinal Stenosis. For months my back was bothering me. I figured it was an age thing and I would have to live with it. But the thought of it getting worse scared me. Dr Nardone convinced me that sergury for my condition had a 95 percent success rate. Following surgery, I am pain free, and am so thankfull to Dr Nardone and his staff, who are the best there is.

Never took time to figure out where my back pain was actually coming from just Assumed it was a bulging disc NOW I have failed back surgery, herniated disc, severe spinal stenosis and am unable to walk without pain and after surgery missed a tiny piece of bone and didn't take time to figure out had a resident figure out why I was in extreme pain - had to have another four hour surgery to fix - hospital stay six days

This Doctor has eliminated my pain, through his knowledge and wisdom. My left arm and shoulder were numb for 8 months. I thought it would "go away ". I secured an appointment at Sarah Bush , Mattoon, Illinois, with Dr Nardone. His amazing nurses and staff are topnotch. Dr. ordered an MRI. After seeing him again, we scheduled surgery. I lived with pain, assuming it would never go away. As I woke up in recovery, THE PAIN AND NUMBNESS WAS GONE. DR NARDONE, God given skills have given me my life back. If you have any doubt, erase it and know the this man has a gift. A gift to remove your pain. He is a blessing in my life. Thanks you Dr. Emilio Nardone.

I assumed I would live with pain and numbness in my left arm and shoulder. After meeting with Dr Nardone he recommended surgery. As I woke up in recovery, the pain was GONE. The numbness was GONE. Dr. Nardone sets the standard for professionalism. I am blessed to have had the guidance of his skillful hand erase my pain.Have no doubt that he is the BEST.

Very disappointed in my results of my disc replacement surgery done back in Oct of 2007! I am in more pain now then I was before I had this surgery done!!! I wish I would of just went with the fushion instead of being talked into this new procedure at the time. Come to find out after surgery, I was the first patient in the area to ever have the type of surgery done thru the abdomen instead of thru the back. Then I was discharged as a patient after 3 months after surgery when I was suppose to be seen once a year when you have a disc replacement done! In 2012 I found out that the replacement disc became loose and has been causing me a a whole lot ifpsin and problems!!! And nobody wants to touch it because they didn't put it in and Dr. Nardone refuse to see me as a patient since he discharged me!!! So be careful because this man has no companion for his patients!!!!!!!!!! Very disappointed in my results of my disc replacement surgery done back in Oct of 2007!

Excellent surgeon. I was suffering from severe spinal stenosis for several years and lot of pain from it. Finally, I went to go see him and he has done thorough work up and recommended surgery, initially conservative approach until pain got severe and finally ended up getting surgery last year with 100% resolution in my pain and weakness in lower leg. I would definitely recommend him. Excellent surgeon. I was suffering from severe spinal stenosis for several years and lot of pain from it.

Very impressive results from my lumbar surgery. Very quick recovery with minimal post operative discomfort. The office staff is extremely helpful with paper work and questions that I had. DR. Nardone is an excellent surgeon and was highly recommend by my primary care physician, so pleased that my surgery was performed by him.

My chiropractor recommended Dr. Nardone when he was no longer able to help me. Dr. Nardone took the time to show me my MRI, explained the complications of my situation, provided his recommendations and risks involved. The procedure we chose, he replaced 3 discs in my neck with cadaver and a metal plate was screwed in above and below discs to help the bones fuse together. Immediately headaches and my arm pain went away and within 2 months all pain was gone. Forever grateful for his healing gift

Dr. Nardone and his Staff at Sara bush was great I had went to other Doctors for 3 years and with in 3 moths I am pain free in my back

Dr Nardone did chiari malformation decompression surgery on me in Nov, 2016. The experience was very positive and I had a fabulous outcome. One thing that really impressed me was the day after surgery his resident saw me in the a.m. and said Dr Nardone would check on me that afternoon. That evening, the nurse came in my room with a phone and said Dr Nardone wanted to speak to me. He apologized, a surgery had gone long, but he wanted to make sure I was OK and asked if I had any questions.

I had been suffering from arm pain from a herniated disc in my neck for years after doing some checking I decided to see Dr. Nardone. He explained to me exactly what the MRI showed and even showed me on the MRI where the problem was. I decided to go ahead with the procedure. I'm so glad I did, the relief was immediate. I haven't felt this good in years. Dr. Nardone in my opinion is an expert. I can't thank him enough for giving me back my life!

When I found I had severe back issues, one requiring surgery, we chose Dr. Nardone. My wife has worked in the medical field for 37 years and would not consider anyone else for me but Dr. Nardone. His office staff, the hospital staff and Dr. Nardone were amazing! Dr. Nardone explains everything in detail and "tells it like it is". He listens. The surgery went extremely well. For post op I did exactly as he advised and began walking 1/2 mile the next day pain free. I highly recommend him!!

My husband had a procedure done. Operating room tech came to talk to me - no doctor. Proceeded to give me report in front of every one sitting around me...no privacy. Took several calls to schedule the procedure from primary care physician. Just received a recorded message in regards to follow up appointment.

Excellent treatment. My surgery was extremely successful and I felt very well taken care of With Dr. Nardone and his staff.

From me first visit to my last post op visit he and his staff have been top notch. I had a discectomy done and recovery was quick and I'm enjoying life again! My only regret is not seeing the Dr. A year sooner.

In pain over 20 years, highly recommend!

My son had a brain tumor removed and Dr. was wonderful caring and his staff all was so great. They answered all of our concerns.

Best surgeon by far! Fused my back and has been an amazing Dr.

Saw the old injury from years ago then ragged on me about my medications. Would not let me tell him that I had two recent falls in past 7 months or that I had gone through open heart surgery on the same medications. I was in so much pain I just didn't feel like arguing with him. I felt he showed me no respect or considered my extreme pain. I have been bedfast since the second fall. what angered me most is that he assumed he knew my condition and would not let me say anything but answer his ?

Dr Nardone is caring, kind and I'm so blessed to have found him. He is the best surgeon by far.

doesn't listen to his patients. When he did my surgery I didn't see him before or after the surgery. He lets his residents do all the work. And doesn't explain the procedure or explain after-care.

had spinal fushion almost 4 yrs ago. worked well. I feel great!
