Charles Cole Nofsinger

Listened and attentive

Appointment was on time and Dr. Nofsinger listened to my systems and answered my questions.

He's a awesome Doctor. Haven't seen him in a while but now, I'll be making appointment. But he did surgery on my shoulder and never had problems. I would recommend him,Dr Nofsinger. To anyone.

I am a 76 year old male who was very active at pickleball and golf until arthritis in my left knee left me nearly immobile and in considerable pain. I tried everything, but the X-ray showed no space, so bone on bone. I had a total knee replacement with Dr. Nofsinger on Feb 1 of this year. After 2 weeks of rehab, I was off the pain pills. I was playing pickleball after 3 weeks, playing golf after 4 weeks and riding my bike to the rec center after 5 weeks. No pain now. My friends are amazed, as am I.

Dr Charles nofsinger is one of the greatest doctors I've ever came in contact with. He's not only a Dr. He's so caring and there for you to help you through your needs. I wish just one of my doctor's was like him. He's funny kind considerate and I love that he wears his cowboy boots. I just love going to see him he's just a funny sweetheart of a man.

Very caring. Takes his time and explains

Amazing DR. No bearing around the bush. Gets to the cause of the problem and fixes it. I've done all 4 shoulder repair surgeries with him, from an accident I had and I have no pain and over 100% range of motion still.

I have been a patient of Dr Nofsinger for years now, referred to him for hip pain from Moffitt and I just admire him and I’m so thankful to have him as my doctor! He’s always thorough and attentive! I refer everyone I that I hear has problems... he truly awesome!! Thanks for all you do Doc... you are appreciated!!

shoulder surgery, allowed nerve block, which some where hit nerve , went back several times and he then sends me to another ortho , to fix the pinched nerve, hes interested in only teaching and letting students work withhim on the surgerys, and looked at my old m.r.i. from 6 months prior, then after operation said i lied about my condtion

I have seen Dr. Nofsinger a couple of times since moving to Clearwater and this last time for a broken wrist...his staff was kind, compassionate and professional...Dr. Nofsinger was professional, but also very kind and caring to this old girl...would recommend him to anyone with orthopedic problems...

Terrible experience with this surgeon. Advised me a Total Knee Replacement was needed. Surgery 9/25/2018 - followed by uncontrolled pain for 3 months. Sought Pain Management 6 weeks post op. Several post op infections in knee. 8 Sleepless weeks. Several bouts of Bursitis in operated knee. Multiple return visits for delayed healing and continued pain with any activity. Sought 2nd and 3rd opinion from local Orthopedic Surgeons - one stated implant was not installed correctly the other stated the implant was loose - both agreed the Tibial portion needed to be removed - A Bone Scan correlated their findings. Additionally, Nofsinger opted not to resurface the Patella during original surgery - this was a big mistake - knee cap has arthritis and has contributed greatly to post op pain. Current recommendation from 2nd and 3rd Surgeons - Revise TKR and Resurface Patella. A recent visit to Dr. Nofsinger for 1 year post op visit yielded not even an apology from this man - he offered a knee brace.

After several years of conservative treatment for bone on bone Arthritis of Left Knee, Dr. Nofsinger recommended a TKR. I expressed my concerns about the surgery and post op pain. I was assured that post op pain would be addressed adequately. This was not the case - Uncontrolled pain, 8 weeks of no sleep - sought Pain Management 6 weeks post op. The Quadriceps on operated leg were sore to the touch for 3 months. Several infections during recovery. Bouts of bursitis, inability to engage in most activities without pain and swelling - this continued for a year. Sought 2nd and 3rd post-op opinions. Dr. Palumbo and Dr. Guttentag both recommended that the prosthetic be removed (revision) and that the Patella be resurfaced as it should have been during initial procedure. Bone Scan indicated a loose Tibial implant and arthritic patella. One year post op F/U with Dr. Nofsinger yielded not even an admission of poor judgement or an apology. (Md did offer to sell me a knee brace) Dr. Nofsinger recommended two alternative surgeons to fix the knee. So after a horrific recovery period (1 year) I am back where I was before the surgery - unable to engage in most activities and still in pain with any activity. Not a Happy Camper

Best shoulder repair surgeon I have found. I have had two prior surgeries to my rt shoulder. Torn cuff etc .....this time after a bad fall and waiting 7 months to get seen ( I put it off) he showed me all the tears I suffered inc yes the cuff again except full thickness n width along with 4 other tendons ( complete tears ) inc biceps. Long story short not the best bed side manner however I have had absolutely no issues with him or the extensive repair he performed on my shoulder...after a week no pain no issues...long recovery. He did an excellent job the difference between this one and the others is no pain good movement rehab is going well. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. C. Nofsinger to anyone and everyone. The staff was great n very helpful to my wife and myself.....just getting me in my truck was great. I’m retired fireman n medic...met lots of docs in my time Nofsinger is a great surgeon highly educated n up to date on new procedures. Thank you doc great job ...John R

Been waiting 2 days for him to show up. I'm in the hospital with badly broken ankle. It would be nice if he would at least return the hospital's call....so far just disgusted.

Staff and both Dr’s. Very kind checked and even double checked my issues. Unfortunately I was referred back to the neurosurgeon that sent me there that states I’m not a candidate for neurosurgery but all orthopedic surgeon both here and Bradenton say I need neurosurgeon.

Dr Nofsinger is an excellent doctor. He takes time to listen to your problems. He did surgery on my husband’s shoulder and did an excellent job.

Dr Nofsinger did my 16 year old daughters ACL repair after a soccer injury and we could not have been more pleased with his knowledge, bedside manner, or the outcome! Very thankful we found him!

Dr. Nofsinger reconstructed my ACL after an injury I sustained playing soccer. He did a phenomenal job, and I would (and have) recommend him to anyone. He's extremely knowledgeable, and takes time to answer any questions or concerns you have. Consummate professional and an excellent surgeon. Go see him!

I'm an avid Mountain Bike racer and Doc Nofsinger for the last several years has made it possible for me to continue in this sport at age 57 even though my left knee is bone on bone (no cartilage). Unfortunately, a month ago, I had a crash and broke my left collarbone. I was so happy to find out that he also specializes in shoulders. This break was a bit more severe than most and required surgery. He, and his team, really did a great job installing a titanium plate with 6 screws, 3 weeks ago today. I can't believe how quickly it's healing and how barely noticeable the scar is. It went so much better than I could've imagined. Thanks Doc.

I was referred to Dr Nofsinger six years ago. I suffered from several injuries from a fall. Dr Nofsinger had to access which injury was worse than the other so he did the leg left first and realized it was worst than he could imagine. After two majors surgeries on the left leg. He had to piece together my leg in order for me to walk. Now after the major surgeries Dr Nofsinger have conducted several surgery on the right leg and torn hamstring. Now we’re going to work on the third issue (shoulder). And Dr Nofsinger is the only doctor I will allow to operate on my shoulder

Did my knee An did an amazing job!

He is an excellent Dr. He did my knee An did an amazing job!

He is an excellent doctor. His treatments saved me from knee replacements.

My experience with Dr.Nosfinger was good and positive at least I got some answers to my questions and he seems to be knowledgeable.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Nofsinger for years with very good results. Hubby recently had a stem cell injection to his knee and is back playing tennis.

this doctor is the worst doctor i have ever had to deal with.he cancelled my surgery because he had private problems and left me in pain instead of finding me another doctor then the day before my second surgery date his very rude and nasty office woman thelma gave me a call telling me it was cancelled again because they had to find out if my cardiologist would allow me to have the operation why are they so unprofessional that they wait till the day before my surgery to think of that

In February of 2017 I was in a bad car accident and severely sustained severe injury to my left leg . The incident left me devastated with a torn posterolateral corner , torn acl, torn hamstring and palsy of a major nerve in my leg . I am so grateful for Dr. Nofsinger and his qualified experience as a specialist in reconstructive orthoperdic surgery . It's been 8 months after he performed two very complex surgeries to reconstruct my knee . He is truly an expert in his field! Thanks Dr Nofsinger!

He has no followup and cannot seem to get surgery scheduled after ordering leaving me in pain and the need to go to another doctor. I would give them zero but they do not have zeros below
