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.

I was impressed by the attention

Twenty plus years of good care
Dr. Nakashima is first rate.My previous internist retired more than 20 years ago and Dr. Nakashima was recommended to me by a good friend. I have been seeing him regularly for years. He has helped keep me motoring along into my 84th year.There were some early difficulties with communication when he joined Dignity Health but they were a function of issues related to Dignity Health systems which seem to have been resolved.

The worst
Nakashima is terrible. He refused to refill my birth control unless I visit him again. However, I just went for my yearly exam 5 months ago. This is a scam! Btw, he did a very bad job for yearly exam, he didn’t do breast check and other normal check on me.

My father was assigned to this doctor by his health plan. There have been great miscommunications between the office staff and answering service. The doctor himself never returns calls and the only way to speak with the doctor is via appointment (for which you wait weeks to attend and spend all of 5 minutes in the room with him. I am very discouraged and disappointed.

Dr. Nakashima is a caring person. That is what you look for in a Physician. Feeling comfortable and taking the time to share information as to how you are feeling and seeing that you complete your blood work which tells the signs of so many things that occur in your body. In some cases you never get to know your doctor but I feel that won't happen with Dr.Nakashima.

My experience with Dr. Nakashima has been the worst of any physician I've ever visited. Dr. Nakashima doesn't do much discovery and listening and makes very quick decisions without proper discovery. He also makes it VERY difficult to get your test results and in fact, forces you to schedule an appointment to get the results!! I've never had such a difficult time getting test results from a doctor. I will be finding a new physician and would not recommend Dr Nakashima.
