Nakken Robert E MD Newman Steve PA

Ditto the other reviews. The staff were snappy and unhelpful. The nurse ridiculed my request for a radiation shield when she did a leg x-​ray («what, do you think you’re pregnant or something?»). Nakken was distracted and dismissive when I did see him. Then his office manager waited to bill my insurance until it was past their payable billling period, never informed me of it, then sent my account to collections without so much as a phone call, sticking me with a $ 12K bill. Nakken should be ashamed to call himself a health care provider — he doesn’t care or provide, he just wants the money.

Negative five stars for sure, unless you like doctors that work for the insurance companies and don’t care about patients

I wish there was a ZERO-​star option. Giving this office one star is too generous.
If you enjoy terrible, uncaring, price-​gouging service, this is the place for you!
Otherwise, do yourself a favor and go to St. George (I’m not sure there are a lot of other options in Cedar City? But if you HAVE to stay in Cedar, you’re better off having a Shakespearean hippy treat your orthopedic issues than Dr. Nakken’s office).
I went in to his office 3 times. The wait was absolutely ridiculously long — especially considering I called ahead and informed them I had newborn twins I needed to hurry home for. I thought they’d maybe give me a time where things could be expedited. Nope. I sat in their office for 30 minutes. Then sat in the exam room for another 30 before seeing… NOT the Dr… his assistant. Only one of the 3 visits did I see Dr. Nakken. He was brief and hurried and unhelpful.
Then I got the bill.
THREE TIMES as much as I was told it would be.
AND THEY DIDN’T EVEN DO ANYTHING!
He glanced at my MRI, looked at my patellar tendon injury, said it would heal fine.
Guess what — almost 3 yrs later, STILL in pain! And no idea what the issue is.
Seriously, I hate being so negative… but if I can save someone from going through half of what I did, this is worth it. Run far far away from Dr. Nakken’s office (if you CAN run! You certainly won’t be able to after being under his care!)
