    Although I thought this was the first time I had any interaction with Dr. Nagel, I was blown away to find out that he was the surgeon that performed the craniotomy. I had back in 2021 that saved my life. It was an honor to meet him and shake his hand, to thank him for giving me another chance.

    I'm trusting an almost complete stranger with my brain; I feel confident in his ability to perform the surgeries & have a very positive outcome. I'm not usually easily impressed; but Dr. Nagle, his support staff & the entire Cleveland Clinic has me wowed! If I'm ever sick this is the place to be!
