Dr Nakamoto is a great doctor. He's very understanding as well as knowledgeable of your problems. He really cares for his patients and it's very important to me.


Mar 28, 2025

The staff is always friendly and helpful. I don't have to wait long in the waiting room. Insurance was easily cleared up and Dr. Nakamoto was awesome administering my boyox. I like his approach much more than my other physician and wish I could switch. It was faster and less painful.

Great experience with Dr Nakamoto. Listen well to my concerns and answered my questions.

I'm disappointment that I paid $50 copay just to be told that my MRI scan was normal. That was a less than 5 minute conversation drawn out to 10 minutes to make it seem more reasonable to charge $50. The whole "follow up" could have been done over the phone or through video and would have been less inconvenient but the time I spent calling off of work in order to show up in person, look for parking, pay for parking for a 10 minute $50 conversation is unreasonable. I'm glad my results were normal but I should have at least been given the option to come in or not as the in person follow up appointment was not needed just to tell me that my scan was normal.


Mar 21, 2025

Dr. Nakamoto truly cares about my well being and helping me get to feeling the best I can. I appreciate his care!


Mar 21, 2025

I appreciate Dr Nakamoto taking the time to listen to all my concerns and answer my questions

Actually this was a follow appointment after I received a MRI for something else. While checking my ear for hearing loss the MRI showed that there was a growth on the left side of my brain, Meningioma. I had no idea what the appointment was for till I got there. All I knew was that it was something I shouldn't worry about and I didn't. The doctor then told me about the Meningioma growth and that it was not malignant but just needed to be monitored with a future MRI in about a year.

My original appt after PCP referral was for 2 1/2 mo. Then The Neuro office called me to change it to another month. Then the Neuro office called again to change it to an add'l mo. So it took me a total of 3mo & 3 wks to see the doc. Thankfully, I fixed my acute problem with a med that my PCP agreed to order pending my appt with Neuro - my appt was not urgent. Otherwise, the office staff & MD were great

Dr Nakamoto is outstanding. He listens and he responds. He remembers. I think he is one of the best doctors I've ever worked with. I feel very confident that he understands and prioritizes my needs.


Mar 17, 2025

Dr. Nakamoto spent time with me and explained everything to me. He shows me he cares about me.


Mar 12, 2025

I never needed to make an appt. right away. The staff (receptionist, nurse) are so nice and friendly. They put me at ease. Dr. Nakamoto is clear in what he is saying. He concentrates on my headache than my Parkinson's condition.
