Dr. Nactwey has taken care of my 89 year old father for about one year. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with his level of care and expertise. Not only does he have an exceptional bedside manner, he is very thoughtful about his approach to my father's Asthma/COPD.In the last 25 years we have seen many doctors for my father's Asthma/ COPD, and not one has had the success of Dr. Nactwey's approach. I would reccommend him highly!!!

I've not been fond of the overselling of sleep apnea, and originally started out with one of the other doctors here who did nothing to assuage my concerns; Nachtwey took the time to explain the histogram from my sleep study, to explain the benefits I would receive from a BIPAP machine, and not just sell me a mask. When the machine did not do everything it needed to do, he had me tested for narcolepsy. Seems I'm borderline, and we're currently working to obtain Nuvagil, the samples of which had me awake for maybe the first time in my life.

I was having a persistent cough which turned out to be GERD. He missed it, but so did four other doctors. I had to figure it out myself.He was really nice though. I wish he would've tried treating for GERD before putting me on horrific cortisone.
