I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Russell Nevins, whose skill, And professionalism, and compassion truly exceeded my expectations. I had uncertainty and reservation before I walked into the clinic, but after being seen by Dr. Nevins and his staff, I felt reassured and confident that I was in the best possible hands when I walked out of there.I was provided With brochures that were easy to understand and would helpful information regarding surgery care and recovery
From the very first consultation, Dr. Nevins demonstrated a combination of expertise, compassion, clear, communication and humor.
The surgery itself was a complete success . The facility itself was clean , staff flowed well with each other , communicated to me what
to expect , they were courteous . Great bedside manners .
Everything went smoothly . I am almost fully recovered and free from pain 😊

I was desperate to find a solution for the pain in my hips. My left hip was so bad that I couldn't stand for more than 10 minutes. After researching and consulting with several doctors, I knew I was in the right place when I met Dr. Nevins. From that first meeting, I felt confident he was the right choice to replace my hips.

The surgery went great, and I was able to leave the hospital and start my recovery right away. If you're considering hip replacement surgery, Dr. Nevins is the surgeon you want. He and his Physician Assistant, Viet Nguyen, answered all my questions and set me on the path to walking again without pain. This was my left hip, and I'm looking forward to coming back to get my right hip replaced.

Dr. Nevins is the best Doctor I have ever had! I have a very long list of injuries/surgeries & have never had a Doctor listen so well to all of my concerns. Dr. Nevins replaced my knee over 8 years ago & this year I fell & broke my Kneecap/Patella on the same leg! I'm still healing but recovery is going very well! Thank you Dr. Nevins for your wonderful Healing skills!!! 💚💚💚

Dr. Nevins performed a total bilateral knee replacement on me twice. The first time, I had surgery on my right knee in 2010 and the second time on my left knee in 2016. I have overall been very happy with my surgery. I have never had any problems and I often recommend Dr. Nevins to coworkers or aquaintances for any orthopedic issues.

Had my initial appointment today for a bad knee with Dr. Nevins. Had to wait in the room a bit but if he treats others as he treated me then that's just fine. He came in.. introduced himself and explained everything I wanted to know. Showed me again the x-rays and my options. Did not feel hurried at all. What a great doctor. His staff was also very nice and attentive. So happy I found him.

Dr Nevins did a full knee replacement for me 4/9/22. For the first time in 2.5 yrs I’m pain free. I couldn’t be happier! He was direct, professional and did his job. I was blessed to have Dr Nevins as my surgeon, excellent home health team and outstanding physical therapy. If I ever need the services of an orthopedist, I will return to Dr Nevins and will recommend him to anyone who needs help. Thank you Dr Nevins!

Dr.Nevins was very passionate he explained my situation in details to where I can understand what was going on. His concern for me was very heartfelt and compassionate. I need surgery on both knees as well as my left hip and for a person to hear this for the first time in their life, it is kind of a scary situation. But Dr. Nevins was very assuring that everything will be OK. He proceeded to give me a Cortizone shot in both my knees which I feel better and able to walk semi normal with less pain. I am so glad that I finally found someone that would listen to you and to have so much compassion for their patients. I would have loved to have him as my primary doctor.

Dr Russell Nevins is the best there is. I’ve known him for over 10 years. He is extremely knowledgeable in his craft but most importantly to him is he truly cares about his patients. He’ll take the time to listen to me and give caring and easy to understand information about my problems. But he’ll go further to tell you things to watch out for and how to treat it and with a very respectable referral to his fellow colleagues.
I enjoy visiting with him as we have a few personal things in common and he’ll take the time to catch up and share a laugh, all a part to show that he takes the time to get to know his patients and treats them like family.

Dr. Nevins is a highly trained, highly experienced and straightforward surgeon who’s sole goal is focused on the patient. He is extremely likable( meaning he is easy to “connect “ with ) and equally extremely patient. He is NOT in a rush to get to his next patient. He is solely there for YOU as are his assistants!

This is my impression after my first appointment.

I needed knee replacement and could not have been more blessed then to have been referred to Dr Nevins! He is truly a compassionate and kind man who knows his stuff! He told me everything I would be feeling and go through it every moment of recovery. When I went in for my one month visit he actually knew everything I was feeling every hour of the day! He didn't just replace my knee he actually put an extra little piece in there that made it so I was no longer knock kneed! Truly an exceptionally wonderful doctor! I was referred to Dr. Nevins by Dr. Kim, who I could also speak volumes about and how wonderful he is!

I really want to thank Dr Nevins and his staff. They are all so kind and concerned. I waited two years to get insurance that Dr Nevins would accept. He told me not to worry, he could take care of it, and he did. Also a big thank you to Ingrid and Prisma who handled every question and anxiety I came up with. Surgery was yesterday; home by 330 pm. Wish I could remember the two nurses in aftercare. They were dedicated to making sure I was all right before discharging me. Thank you all.

This practice is incredibly professional. It may be the most efficient and organized medical experience I've had, and I've had quite a few in the last eight years. More importantly is the attitude if everyone involved. It's starts at reception and goes all the way to the top. When you meet Dr. Nevins, you immediately know that you're dealing with a very special person. A man who understands and sees the big picture. He makes the time to treat the person, not just the affliction. He listens and then weighs in with good understandable opinion and the discusses all the options and the pros and cons. It very rare to meet someone and know in 5 minutes that he can be totally trusted without reserve. This is my honest response to my experience.

Dr Nevins was timely, great bedside manner as well very knowledgeable in his area of specialty.

I thought I had hip problems and after getting a glowing recommendation from a friend, scheduled an appointment with Russell Nevins. Before my appointment, another friend mentioned that when he needed a hip replacement, Dr. Nevins was great. Dr. Nevins listened to my symptoms carefully, examined me and x-rays thoroughly, and said he thought the problem was not my hip, but my spine. He ordered MRIs of my hip and my spine which confirmed his diagnosis. In the last month I have met two other people who also have had great experiences with Dr. Nevins.

I was very happy with Dr. Nevins.He was up front with me about my options. Finally a Dr. that did not tell me that it was because of my being overweight. Let's hope the injection will give me some needed relief and lasts 3-4 months. Thank you Dr. Nevins.

I am 6 weeks post-op of having my right knee replaced. The procedure is no fun and rather painful but I am recovering very well. Dr. Nevins is very professional and highly skilled. I spent 15 years in Ortho sales, have lots of connections and his name was referred to me by far more than any other. He did his fellowship training with one of the true gurus in the industry. I could ot be more pleased and will most likely have him replace my left knee soon.

Dr. Nevins is so good at describing in layman’s terms what’s wrong and gives you all the options for treatment, he just doesn’t do what needs to be done without explaining it thoroughly! Love his bedside manner, he is one of the best Doctors I have seen here in Las Vegas since moving here 8 years ago! HE DEFINITELY KNOWS HIS STUFF when it comes to orthopedic’s! He sees my wife for her hip which is fragile and has pins in it! She is the reason I went to him! Great Doctor!

I had an appt. with Dr. Nevis' PA, Viet Nguyen. I started asking questions. First, how long does it take to give the Hyluronic Acid "gel" shot. But he also used lidocaine to numb it. The next thing I know, he says about 5 more seconds. I thought he meant the lidocaine shot. He meant the entire procedure. It's probably 15 seconds. I never felt the gel stick or any pain from it. So anyone out there considering whether to take one, it does not hurt. I highly recommend them. If you suffer from anxiety as I do, don't worry. The thought of having it done is way worse than the actual procedure. Thank you again to Dr. Nevins' assistant. He made it much easier as well. Has a great "bedside manner."

Dr.Nevins is like a breathe of fresh air. He is not robotic, like so many doctors today. He explained everything to me about having a pretty serious surgery. I went into the office with a lot of questions and an extremely high stress level. I left his office very informed and feeling like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders His staff was very nice and helpful. I highly recommend Desert Orthopedic.

Today was my first visit with Dr. Nevins. He was thorough, friendly, sympathetic and very knowledgeable. I have a very arthritic knee. My previous Orthopedist only gave me one option,, surgery. Dr. Nevins laid out five options for me, with surgery being the last. My leg muscles are severely deconditioned, so he also discussed exercises that I could do that would significantly increase my odds of successful recovery if we go the surgery route

Dr. Nevins is the most caring doctor he explains everything if you're looking for a knee or hip replacement this man is the best in this town or the world. He has done three of my hip replacements and I had three because I had a recall on one of them but he got it fixed ASAP and it works perfect they both do. So if you're looking for a orthopedic surgeon dr. Nevins is the perfect one.

Initially did ny hip surgery. Has never been right. I went for 1 yr follow-up, he told me "if you were my brother I'd tell you to deal with it". Still having problems. Tried to make appointment. Kept getting put on hold. Finally went to office. Wouldn't make appointment til I paid $13.00 balance. Paid balance. Told next available appointment was in 4 months. After I complaining I left. The next day got a letter discharging me as a patient saying they nolonger wanted me as a patient. Have heard this same thing from other former patients. Apparently they want everything wonderful. If there's a problem they don't want anything to do with you.

I was hoping to see Dr. Nevins instead I saw a nurse practitioner which I did not want. I guess if its not worth a surgery the doctor doesn't wanna deal with it. Then you have someone in their office tell you that they will help find you a pain specialist, but that wasn't the case either. The nurse practitioner didn't even know I had an MRI done and when she read it her explanation regarding my result seemed that it wasn't worth it. I was pretty much rushed out of their. I hope my next appointment will be the doctor and not no nurse practitioner.

Dr. Nevins is a gift-
It’s been 6 months since my hip replacement surgery. For those who are on the fence, if he says get the surgery, get it. Know you can trust his words.
This post in many months overdue. In the past 6 months, I have enjoyed hikes in the Sierras, went on a 7-day long-range fishing trip, travelled abroad on business for 5-weeks, can sleep without waking in pain, can climb stairs, I can turn right! The pain in my knees and back have diminished, I’m guessing I was compensating for the pain in other areas. I no longer carry Aleve, Advil, aspirin, or CBD’s.
I was mentally and physical prepared for my surgery; I walked and exercised daily, read on others outcomes, prepared my home, and had assistance the first few days.
The only mistake I made was not having my surgery sooner. The metal detector goes off in the airports, and I have to take an antibiotic before seeing the dentist; the two post-surgery inconveniences.
Thank you, Doctor Nevins!- If he’s reading this he’s probably thinking, “please call me Russell.”

Was referred here by the ER for my wifes broken shoulder. Tried 3 times to get an appointment: Attempt #1: 25+ minutes on hold, was disconnected. Attempt +2: 20+ minutes on hold, finally got a person on the phone. Gave all of the info, was asked to "hold please". another 20+ minutes on hold. Then told that they would call us by close of business. They called 6 hours later and left a message, asking that we call. Attempt #3: Attempted to call back, was again place on hold. After another 20+ minutes my patience had expired, hung up.
I sought, and received, care elsewhere, on the same day.
I attempted to call the next 2 days to ensure that any appointments made were cancelled. When I did finally get somebody on the phone, they had no record of us in their system.
If you use these guys, good luck. The Doctors may be good, but the staff definitely needs help.
