Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor - Been one of his original patients

Worst place very irresponsible. My mother was rescheduled for 2 times has been waiting for more than 3 months. She is in so much pain to be called a day before to tell us they don't take her health insurance. They were provided this info more than 3 months. They need to be mindful how people are suffering. They need to put in patients shoes and think if it was them or a family member. They said the had left a vm but it was today in the morning not prior.

Did not accept my insurance said I had to pay $235.00 before seeing the Dr.. I have NEVER had to pay a deductible with my insurance it was always submitted than if there was a balance I would have to pay. Waited a month for appointment and was never told this. Also I have no deductible and they never knew what insurance I had until I went there. The place is a dump, I will be going somewhere else. I will be making a complaint to the medical board of Connnecticut.

Dr Nascimento is an excellent physician, but his office staff is RUDE, NASTY AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. My second visit to the office 2 of the staff members were arguing with each other and the office manager did nothing to diffuse the situation. This doctor needs staff that reflect his personality and his professionalism. He is an amazing doctor, but it's a bad reflection of the office to have to deal with his HORRIBLE office staff.

Staff fit me in to his schedule after my PCP was concerned with recent blood test results. He spent a considerable amount of time in our consultation, reviewing my medical history and answering my questions before the exam. I can't say enough about the professional, courteous office team and the immediate comfort I felt in Dr. Nascimento's care.
