Kind, caring and very thorough. I am 77 years old and have never had the kind of treatment where I feel that I am the only patient he has.

Worst Doctor that I've ever experienced, mis-diagnosed dementia which fueled a dispute with my late father's trust.

As an internist and physician, Dr. Nachman is excellent. However, I believe he books his appointments too close together, there are always six to eight patients in his waiting room. At my last appointment, I was seen over an hour after my appointment time.In addition, he never seems to follow up with a phone call after an office visit to explain the results of the tests.

This Dr. is old school. Really does his homework and asks all the questions. He is best at diagnosis...he will figure out what everyone else is missing.If he moved his office, I think I would move my family to where he went. He is that good.
