TAYLOR GIST, MD REVIEWS

Dr Gist spent time describing my upcoming surgery and answered all my questions without hurrying. I left confident I have chosen the right surgeon to finally address my spine pain. His staff scheduled all my upcoming appointments, taking time to allow me to check my schedule. I was given everything in writing with the proper contact numbers. A great experience!

I had 2 surgeries performed by Dr. Gist. C5-C6 fusion and a microdisectomy on my lower back. Dr Gist was very upfront about what surgery could reasonably provide and what it couldnt. In both surgereis my recovery went well. Dr Gist and his staff were professional and did a great job! Cole his assistant was amazing as well. Big thanks to Iris and Crystal in the office for all their help as well!

Dr. Gist and Cole are fantastic. The whole group is fantastic! Everything is coordinated and organized. They made the process as stress free as it could have been. I learned a week after I had surgery, another lady from a group here in College Station had the same surgery...turns out by Dr. Gist.

GARY E. KRAUS, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Kraus and his entire staff are outstanding. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with genuine care, patience, and professionalism. Dr. Kraus took the time to clearly explain my condition following my vehicle accident and made sure I understood every step of the treatment process. He combines exceptional surgical skill with a compassionate bedside manner, which made me feel confident and cared for throughout my recovery. His staff reflects the same level of excellence—efficient, respectful, and always ready to help. They made scheduling, follow-up visits, and communication simple and stress-free. I’m truly grateful for the high-quality care I’ve received and would recommend Dr. Kraus and his team without hesitation to anyone in need of a top-notch neurosurgeon.

I had a phenomenal experience with Dr. Kraus and his team at West Houston Neurological. Dr. Kraus took the time to really listen and explain everything clearly, which made me feel confident and at ease. His front desk assistant, Kathy, was absolutely wonderful—friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. It’s rare to find a doctor’s office that runs so smoothly while still making you feel cared for. Highly recommend! 5 stars

Dr. Kraus is second to none on being thorough full exam left nothing uncovered and his patient politeness is top knotch. Office staff excellent as well.

REMI NADER, MD, CM, FRCS, FACS, FAANS REVIEWS

What can I say, Dr Nader is the best doctor I have ever seen. When other doctors told me that I was in pain because I was old. ( I’m only 36) Others said that it was all in my head, like I had lost my mind. None of the so called doctors did any testing to determine what was causing my pain. I couldn’t stand up straight, walk normally or even sleep in my bed. Dr Nader took all steps to know what was causing my pain. After surgery performed by Dr Nader I feel way better the road to recovery is going great. Thanks very much Dr. Nader, Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!

Doctor Nader has taken well care of me from the beginning of my injuries to now. He and his staff are amazing and so worth being able to have an awesome Neurosurgeon to attach my pain and fix it to where I can hopefully have a full recovery. God bless Doctor Nader and his staff/ I recommend him for any of your surgical needs on the spine, he is your doctor. Again, thank you Dr. Nader.

Dr. Nader is a life saver literally. Performed my fusion and the service of his staff and everyone is top tier. Definitely recommend him any day!
