I'VE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR N FOR 12 YEARS. HE IS THOROUGH. LAB TESTS ARE DONE EVERY 4 MONTHS & RESULTS ARE EXPLAINED. HE LISTENS WELL & WHEN YOU HAVE A NEED WILL GO OVER THE 15 MIN MOST DOCTORS PERMIT. HE IS KIND.

I've been with Dr Nesbitt for around six years. He is very much a healer and not a medical robot. He takes time with his patients in order to develop an overall picture of their health conditions and needs, as well as to reassure them that he is fully committed to their care. He is also very good about knowing the local specialists and recommending them when they are needed.

Doctor Nesbitt is very thoughtful and shows genuine care. He takes his time and listens to any/all concerns and doesn't rush the visit.

Yes, appointments may be delayed sometimes, but this doctor is well worth the wait. I've seen Dr. Nesbitt for more than 10 years and I'm dreading the day he retires. He: is friendly and very thorough; answers all my questions; explains what to expect from medications and how they work; and provides economical alternatives. My appointments aren't over until we've addressed all of my issues.

My Mother has been treated by Dr Nesbitt for 25+ years and he has been wonderful to her! I was so impressed with his care for her, that I switched from my own PCP to Dr Nesbitt about 5 years ago, and have received excellent care from him. His office is busy, because he is one of those rare doctors that cares about you and spends the time required to diagnose your issues. I highly recommend Dr Nesbitt.

17 years ago Dr. Nessbitt opened his office on a Saturday for me and mother of a baby of 6 mo old who was very sick. He didn't know me at all, he didn't have to do that... He has always taken wonderful care of my family and to me he is family. I wouldn't want anyone else to care for us.
