Patient Reviews
Mar 25, 2024
I have been a patient with Dr. Nakaji for over 18 years and have met or interacted with him every year. He has the best bedside manner. Explains the procedure well and does not rush anything. I am truly surprised at the one star ratings but don't question them. However please don't blame the doctor for his staff's fault. They are completely different people. I would highly recommend Dr. Nakaji to anyone. Thanks!
