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.

Very good consultation
I’ve been having some perplexing neurological issues for a while that haven’t been easily resolved - I was referred to Dr. Nacionales to investigate further. Off the bat, he was very congenial and listened to all that I had to say without interrupting. As a woman, many doctors are quick to write off any issues we are having based on hormones or mental health, making us feel crazy and not addressing the actual issue. I did not feel that way at all with Dr. Nacionales. I feel like he was very thorough in his assessment and getting my physical and mental health history. He provided ideas about what could be going on and ordered tests to try and figure it out. I’m very appreciative to have found a doctor that is humanistic and willing to listen and help without judgment.

I Enjoyed
I enjoyed seeing Dr. Nacionales. I always do. I think he is a great doctor. He is a caring doctor who is really interested in what is going on with you and your body. How he can help you. If you tell him you are feeling better and what he prescribed for you is working out. He is open to all questions you have about yourself, even if they aren't neurological. He will do his best to explain whatever it is. He has a good personality, he is very friendly and he will laugh and smile with you. He is easy on the eyes. I like him as a doctor!

I was very concerned about my condition. Dr Nacionales asked probing questions, listened carefully, and summarized my situation clearly and calmly. He explained options very well and I now have a good understanding of what I need to do. I feel reassured and well taken care of.

Have been seeing Dr. David Nationals for stroke recovery symptoms and recently experienced new sudden neck, arm and finger pain & numbness. Was able to be seen within 2 days, and upon thorough office exam was able to ruled out stroke associated causes, with several diag & treatment referrals. Dr. Nationales explanation of the probable causes of the new symptoms to my wife and self were reassuring that we were dealing with nerve causes vs. stroke related symptoms. Great Care!!

Dr. Nacionales was very personable, and really listened to my symptoms and explained things to me and answered my questions without rushing through anything. I really felt like he cared.

My first two visits were great. He listened well. There was a resident in each visit, but I did see him. The third visit I only saw a resident and it wasn't the same one. I told him what I was experiencing and he insisted my treatment was going to be his way. The office did try to fit me in the next day to see Dr. Nacionales, but I had to work. Now I have to wait two months and am still in pain! Dr. Nacionales signed off on the resident's treatment plan. I don't trust Dr. Nacionales now and am currently looking for a different neurologist.
