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.

Dr. Nathan goes to great lengths to convince each patient that they have a 'fatty liver'. He then proceeds to try to 'sell' them vitamin supplements. Please do not fall for it. He is simply 'selling' unconventional medicine that probably is not needed.My friend did not return to him. He transferred his care to St Luke's downtown. St. Luke's tested him for fatty liver and the test was negative.

I have been seeing Dr Nathan for over 8 years and would highly recommend him. He is a very dedicated physician and has sought to address the root cause of my health issues and provided me with invaluable professional advice such that i now feel 10 years younger He has not just loaded me with strong medication, instead he has suggested mild medication with supplements, which has alleviated my health issues considerably. His office is extremely helpful. Thanks to Dr Nathan for my health and well-being.

Dr. Nathan has performed two procedures for me and has taken the time to fully explain what was going to happen, reviewed the results with me and my wife, and has customized the treatment program needed to resolve issues most doctors over the past 35 years have just shrugged their shoulders at and said, it's part of growing old.

Dr. Nathan was good and I had no issues with him. The staff at his office is another story. They have never returned a single message I have ever left and when they are open you are on hold for an extended period of time.

As long as you are under 75, you are an acceptable patient. Anyone over 75 is unacceptable.

Dr Nathan is kind and compassionate, and tells you exactly what you need to do to get healthy. He is extremely thorough in diagnosing and leans towards natural healing where possible. I know he truly wants me to be 'my best self'. I feel blessed to have been led to Dr. Nathan. Do not hesitate to put your care into Dr. Nathan's hands.

The office staff is neither courteous, nor friendly, and has proven to be incompetent. They don't seem to know how to handle insurance companies, and has poor communication. Office wait time is very poor, they seem to have scheduling conflicts. I waited one hour and fifty minutes to see Dr. Nathan.

Dr. Nathan has performed colonoscopies and upperendoscomies for me over the past 15 years, with the most recent of both being in 2015. He is direct, what might be called a straight shooter, and that is something I appreciate. I believe he is thorough and gives good advice and has even intervened with an insurance company with respect to a medication. He is a caring physician.
