Dr. Nave helped save my life in 1983 after a car accident which left my face completely fractured. He rebuilt me from a school picture as I was a junior in high school at that time. He is a doctor with much empathy and kindness. He and Neurosurgeon did 9 1/2 hours of surgery to put me back together. He also did surgery removing a cist from my daughters cheek near her ear many years later as well. I haven't been able to tell people of his great work and wanted to now. Thank You Dr. Nave, for the cheekbones as well ;) Susan Bay (McVay, Orr)

Dr. Nave performed surgery on my nose after many years of abuse on the soccer field. He took his time and made sure that everything went perfectly! I am very happy with my results. In addition, he was very kind and patient throughout my recovery, seeing me often and discussing the healing process. He is truly the BEST! I would recommend him to everyone.

My husband had a strange growth on his lower eye lid. He was referred to Dr. Nave and thank God he was. It turned out to be a carcinoma and Dr. Nave removed all of it at Bronson Hospital. His staff and him were very caring and we never felt "rushed through" at any appointments. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nave.
