Left an appointment with a medication prescribed to me that was given to me with Nathan's assurance that it did not negatively interact with my long-term medication that can be heavy on my kidneys only to find out ( after taking it) that it is strongly recommended NOT to take these meds together. I specifically asked Nathan about this and he said it was not a problem because it was not a NSAID, yet it 100% is a problem because it is a NSAID and I can't take them. Highly do NOT recommend this practioner unless you want your health to decline. Do better for your patients.

I can't take Paxlovid so Nathan offered either take it and get blood work or take Pred. Instead. We discussed how it works and decided on that route. It has worked extremely well.

Nathan was amazing. He was able to squeeze my son into his schedule on short notice. He seemed genuinely concerned and quick to start him on a treatment so he could start feeling better.
