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 knowledgeable and compassionate.

I brought my son to him after 2 other neurologists saw him n couldn’t tell us what a diagnosis was. Dr N took the time to give my son a diagnosis & explained all the possible things that may happen & all the different medication treatment plans that my son could do. He did go in and out a few times from the room , explaining he was seeing other patients- but he did not want my son to leave until he explained any questions or options that my son might have.

Dr. Nathanson is arrogant and was not willing to listen to my history. He had poor hygiene as well. He was very judgmental and not willing to listen. He acted like everything was my fault and told me that I am my own worst enemy. I will never see him again and I called all of my referring physicians to let them know of my experience so they will never send him another patient.

I would never recommend him to anyone. When you call them and talk to the nurse you don't hear back from them for a day or two, and he doesn't have enough time for his patiences.
