Jonathan T Nassos, MD

Dr. Nassos is the BEST, couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more attentive and professional doctor to take care of me. And gosh have I had my share of incompetent (read factory chain offices), rude with no bedside manners and yell at me doctors because I dare to ask questions and want to understand what the surgery entails. I wasted 3 months with one Dr. who ended up closing shop (due to some legal issues, escaped that one narrowly!) and another month looking frantically for a new doctor and coming across one who was so old school, he yelled at me for daring to speak and ask him questions… no names shall be named (but PM me if you want to know). What a relief to have found Dr. Nassos! Not only does he take more than 5mins to sit, examine and answer all your questions, he always has a comforting smile that puts you at ease. I needed that especially since it was my very first surgery, and was a total nervous wreck.
The night after surgery, I had to reach him and totally appreciated getting a call back within the hour late at night. And he even took the time to call in a prescription at the nearest 24-​hr pharmacy. Post-​op appt. went well, he removed sutures, went over some deets and off I go to focus on recovery, physical therapy and physiotherapy for the next 6 weeks until the next follow up appt.
If you are looking for an orthopedic doctor you can trust and who really cares, I’d highly recommend Dr. Nassos.

Dr. Nassos has been my doctor for a little over a year now. He has done everything in his power to help through a very difficult year. Dr. Nassos took care of me and helped me when I needed it the most. He is an excellent doctor with a wealth of knowledge. Dr. Nassos actually gave me faith that there are still really wonderful doctors out there. His approach and how he works with his patients remind me of the good ol’ days of medicine. You can really tell that he cares about his patients. I am only one of many that he has helped, but I am certainly grateful for being referred to his care. The other great thing about Dr. Nassos is that if you have an issue that falls outside of his specialties, he will make sure to help you find the best care he can. Although I live about an hour or so from his practice in Van Nuys, I would continue to come to Dr. Nassos for any future orthopedic needs. I feel so blessed to have had such wonderful care and I recommend him to anyone with orthopedic issues, he is one of the very best!

I came in to see Dr. Nassos a couple of months ago to get a second opinion on my lefty knee that I had surgery on about 8 years ago. Dr. Nassos was incredible to identify what the problem might be options as far as moving forward to rehab my knee and avoid further injury. Just recently I came back to see him with a sprained ankle and once again extremely helpful as well as experienced to guide me in the direction to heal from the injury.

My mother has been coming to Dr. Nassos for her hip pain. It is hard to find someone who is caring and helpful, especially with the experiences I have had with her doctors. He has been giving her cortisone shots and medication for the pain, it has not subsided fully but I am glad that she is receiving the help she needs.

Thanks Doc.

I had a ankle fracture and I when in with an another orthopedic to get treatment and he told me it was only a sprain. I found out about Dr. Nassos from a friend of mine, his a really great doctor. Once I came in to his office they did an X-​ray and he say that it was a fracture. He took good care of me his professional, prompt, nice his just the Orthopedic your looking for to help. I would highly recommended him to all my friends and family.

My experience was great. Allow me to explain:
I was at work, did something stupid and blew out my knee. Man, the pain was excruciating. I couldn’t walk. I literally heard a popping sound and practically had to crawl to my car.
It swelled so bad I thought I’d need knee replacement surgery or orthoscopic surgery, laser surgery, a polygraph, something! — I dunno, whatever the hell it is they do that’s what I needed. I couldn’t walk!
My mother n law refers me to Dr. Nassos. Now, I love my mother n law but quite frankly the prospect of her choice scares the hell outta me. I figure I’m gonna lose a limb and pay through the nose. But I schedule an appointment anyway. Deep breath. After all, I hate doctors’ offices. No, I loathe doctors’ offices.
So, I hobble to Dr Nassos office in Sherman Oaks and at first was really impressed with the environment; a large and roomy waiting room, and a very friendly staff. Plus they pretty much took me right away. Huge points right there.
The examination rooms and the décor inside is great and instantly put me at ease. (did I mention I was having anxiety) This is no stuffy doctor’s office but rather something out of Restoration Hardware. Wood floors, leather chairs… I liked it very much, and then it got better.
Dr Nassos comes in. I real young-​looking dude, warm and friendly, very professional, and as nice as can be. Seems to really know his stuff. He puts me at ease immediately.
(In fact, I had read a previous review bashing him and it was SO off the mark that I went back to it and clicked on the name to see the «author’s» OTHER reviews. Sure enough EVERY review written by that person was some one-​star scathing diatribe. A true malcontent. I’m glad I dismissed them). Whoa, big digression. Where was I?
Oh yes, Dr. Nassos comes in and sees the panic on my face. After all, I was never going to walk again, right? He gently feels around on my knee and sends me to the next room for xrays. They come back quickly and are unimpressive. Apparently, I have some laxity in my ACL, quite common, not debilitating, and the worst part about it is I’ve been exposed as a big wuss.
After some reassuring words Dr Nassos recommends an MRI to be sure, and frankly, I appreciate the attention to detail. His office was very helpful helping me set up the MRI. Also, his office takes Blue Cross/​Blue Shield and my out of pocket for the office visit was like a 25.00 copay!
After a few weeks of adhering to Dr Nassos instructions of using a knee support, icing, resting, and slowly stretching, etc., I’m all good, up and about, and the only thing still bruised is my ego.
I’d recommend him anytime. He really put me at ease and helped me fix the problem. Thx Doc.

Thank goodness for Dr. Jonathan. I was in so much pain due to a knee injury and he was able to help me after the first visit. He is intelligent, kind and really knows what he is doing.
I am also so pleased that his plan for action did not involve medication. Every doctor I’ve seen in the past just wanted to prescribe something for the pain but that left me exhausted and depressed.
I highly recommend Dr. Nassos to my friends, family and the Unilocal community.

I was referred to Dr. Nassos by a friend, and I am so glad I took her advise! He is a great doctor with compassion and empathy. Its rare these days to find a doctor who will take the time to LISTEN, (i might have vented a bit) lol.
Thank you Dr Nassos for the great service you provide everyday.

LA is the type of town that has some of the best doctors in the world. The problem is, it’s such a massive town that finding them is like searching for a sharp needle in a haystack of dull incompetency, undeserved arrogance, and vanity.
I’m lucky to have met Dr. Nassos, because he’s that rare hard-​to-​find breed of doctor who is intelligent, incredibly skilled, and personable. He was formally a partner at a very prestigious practice in Chicago, and moved out to LA just recently after spending time working as a doctor for the Lakers. Simply put, the work he has done for me is nothing short of a miracle; I have only felt compelled to write reviews for two doctors, and he’s one of them. The fact I was even able to see him I can only chalk up to fortuitous timing, because I’m sure in about 5 years as he gets settled here, he will grow more and more popular to the point that it will be impossible to even book an appointment with him!
For the time being, however, I was able to see him right away, and he was attentive, thoughtful, and extremely, extremely capable. After completing a procedure with him, I can say confidently that he has done what no doctor before him has been able to do. I’m not exactly sure what else he treats, but if you’re having any knee issues (as I had), there is no better doctor than Dr. Nassos in Los Angeles to work with you from start to finish and take care of your problems.

Dr. Nassos is exactly what you want from your surgeon. As smart as it gets and meticulous with his work. He is very knowledgable and this is obvious every time you speak to him.
The best part is the surgical center he operates out of is top notch. Immaculate, clean and very private.
Highly recommended he gets my two thumbs up!

Wonderful doctor! He took his time with me, explained in plain terms what my condition was/​is, and, instead of taking the opportunity to do X-​Rays (which I was prepared to shell out for), he treated me right on the spot and I’ve seen a major improvement. It’s my belief that Many doctors would’ve done X-​Rays anyway, even if they know the situation doesn’t warrant it or it’s completely unnecessary. The fact that he spared me from this absolutely floored me. He also suggested that surgery was not likely necessary and, being an un-​insured patient, this was incredible news. I may still have to have surgery, but it won’t be because a doctor wanted to rush in and out of the room and just «get it over with,» thus leaving me with the easiest and typically-​acceptable solution. Dr Nassos sincerely took time with me, has a great personality, and really knows his stuff. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to him for further needs.

All I have to say is I think either he wrote his own reviews or his staff did. I found him on the internet and the reviews were all amazing what a great office staff he had how you only wait up to 15 minutes and how much time he spends explaining. I found this to be the polar opposite. First I had an appointment showed up and he didn’t, but they did not have the courtesy to call and cancel. the Second day I waited two hours to even get into the office then another 15 minutes for him to walk in. He spent about 2 minutes if that much with me, he seemed bored and bothered. His office staff were rude. The place is a personal injury factory, walked in there were more than 30 people in the waiting room all personal injury. If you dont have a lawyer (which is the first thing they ask) and you dont have a case I dont think they are really interested in having you as a client. They give out their own medications which was really creepy, all these people coming with canes picking up drugs and walking out on their own, really awful. The guy has three offices, how much time could he really be giving to his patients? What ever happened to real doctors that really had their patients interest at heart? If you want to waste three hours and feel like you are a bother and you want to be in an atmosphere of people trying to scam others, this is the place for you.
