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.

Best doctor hands down

Dr. Nate is the best. I have never had a doctor who was so concerned about my health and just my life in general. She’s a doctor but you feel like she is a great caring friend as well.

As a person who works in healthcare, I can be a bit picky about my own Dr. Dr. Nate is so amazing, she is thorough, she listens, she follows up, and will give people real world strategies to improve their overall health.

Thorough personal collaborative attention
I needed to find a new primary care physician 18 months ago and am delighted and so appreciative of Dr. Nate's approach to care. She is attentive to detail, knowledgeable, prompt in responding to inquiries and has established a practice where her staff is friendly and responsive too. I have referred Dr. Nate to my friends and family and highly recommend her.

Exceptional doctor.
Dr. Natesan is a fine person and exceptional physician. She is very genuine and really goes above and beyond for her patients. She listens to the patient and provides sound advice on treatment and information to help you work through issues affecting your health. It is very rare when you find a doctor as compassionate and caring as she is in a practice. Some doctors spend a few minutes with you after you wait an eternity to see them. By the time you complete your visit you may have covered a point or two of your main concern for the visit. Dr. Natesan isn't like that at all and she really wants your opinion and helps you to be your best. She is very patient and a great all around physician.

AMAZING doctor and staff!!!!
Dr. Nate is amazing. She is THE BEST. My husband and I are so thrilled that we found her and her staff. She has great attention to detail, and goes above and beyond to give us good care. She also is good about giving us extra information that we would like to know but many physicians wouldn't take the time to share. She sends me extra information I am interested about and is great about explaining everything we talk about to the fullest. When my husband and I had a weird virus or disease she and her staff took extra time to communicate with us and make sure we were okay. She is super smart and her staff is super sweet and thorough and helpful. I can't recommend this office enough!!!!

Great Doctor, wonderful staff.
After a 5 week hospital stay I was without a primary care physician and I chose Dr. Nate. I'm so fortunate that I did. She jumped right in and took charge of my care, working with the other Doctors treating me, and she is truly instrumental in my recovery. Best experience I've ever had with any physician - I absolutely trust her.

Dr Natesan has my full confidence! Being a new patient, I went to her for neck muscle spasms when urgent care did everything wrong. Dr Natesan prescribed EXACTLY what I needed and has been very thorough the 3 times I’ve seen her. It’s comforting to know I selected the RIGHT physician and I trust her fully! I highly recommend her!!

One of the nicest doctors. I came to her with stomach pain and even though my blood work came back normal, she took me seriously and had me go get imaging done. I ended up having appendicitis and being sent straight to surgery. Very grateful for her knowledge and concern.
