My concern about medication he wanted me to try fell on deaf ears. It was the only choice he gave.

The PA was more responsive than the Dr. I felt he was in a hurry to get through the appointment.

Provider had to spend more time typing than talking to me who is paying for his attention. I don't feel it's his fault. I'm sure he doesn't like it either.

I was super nervous getting diagnosed with arthritis. This doctor looked me in the eyes in a way that I feel he touched my heart with kindness and empathy. Who spends half an hour talking to your fears and shining his expert light on my condition? THIS doctor does. I was SO lucky I walked in the darkness of my illness with him. Thank you Dr. Nakasato. Thank you for being there in head and heart with me.

This doctor is superb in every way. How fortunate I am...and he just may have saved my life. I owe a lot to him. He's really smart and diagnosed me right away. I found out he graduated from Harvard. No wonder. Wish he had been here 10 years ago when the earlier doctor misdiagnosed me... thank you Dr. Nakasato for helping me so much.
