Dr. Nath was my physician in 2019. He treated me for a winging shoulder blade and a drooping arm. It was three years of endless dr.visits, chronic pain, and uncertainty. Without a doubt, this man saved my life. Unrelated, but I have hip dysplasia, and without the use of my arms, I never would have been able to fix my legs. I have function now, minimal pain, and I am working towards getting stronger. He is the best in the field of brachial plexus injuries and highly talented. I am forever grateful for the experience and his expertise. Thank you Dr. Nath for giving me my life back. I will never be able to thank you enough!

Dr Nath is a miracle worker! He removed a large tumor from my shoulder that was putting a lot of pressure on my brachial plexus which has alleviated all of my pain. My entire left side was getting very weak and, ultimately, I think I would have lost a lot, if not all, function on that side of my body. I will forever be grateful for his surgical skills and expertise. He and his office are compassionate, efficient, and very professional. I trust Dr Nath and I highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Dr Nath for fixing my problem after so many others said it could not be fixed!

I developed a winging scapula following some heavy overhead work remodeling my house. Being a physician at an academic medical center, I had access to extensive imaging and nerve conduction testing, and a recognized expert to interpret it. No conclusive diagnosis. Did months of diligent physical therapy, no change. I was worried that I would have this very pronounced winging scapula and inability to raise my arm over my head the rest of my life. I found Dr. Nath using google, and was able to see his published research outlining his understanding of the pathology of this condition. Nobody else seems to know about this. The neurophysiologist who had evaluated me was skeptical and had never heard the theory that Dr. Nath had published. Without any other options, I set up a consultation when he was in my region, and surgery with him in Texas. While being hopeful, I too was a little skeptical, having seen so many patients with nebulous neurologic issues in my career who never get a definitive diagnosis or treatment. Imagine my delight when I woke up from surgery and had immediately improved by 80-90%, after roughly 6 months of unchanging dysfunction. Within a short time (4-6 weeks,) I had no remain detectible weakness or asymmetry. So, there you have it. Sounds like I am giving a paid advertisement, but I am not. I wouldn't say Dr. Nath has the warmest/fuzziest bedside manner. But, I believe he's the only surgeon in the country that could say he knew what was causing my problem, and he fixed it.
