I was put in contact with Dr. Nakashima by my boyfriend, and I am extremely thankful to have found a doctor and office like this. Dr. Nakashima treats me like a real person. He is down to earth, extremely knowledgeable, and even took the time to explain each medication he was prescribing to me and what any potential side effects could be like. This is the kind of doctor everyone should have, and I am so grateful to feel like I matter, and not like I’m being pushed out the door as fast as possible. The office staff are also very sweet, professional, and put you at ease. Also– I have Never had to wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor, which must be some sort of magic. This practice is a gem.

Dr. Nakashima has been my primary care physician for the last couple years, and I am completely satisfied with his services. His office does consist of 2 – 3 other doctors, so the waiting room can get busy, but usually I’m able to see him with a day’s notice or sometimes sooner.
He is professional and friendly. He makes you feel comfortable and is thorough with any medical explanations without using any complex medical jargon. He also answers all my questions without fail (me being the curious one I am). There is a LabCorp blood test center on the first floor as well, which makes it very convenient if you need any blood work done. I’d definitely recommend Dr. Nakashima as a solid primary care physician.

Great physician. I was seen not only quickly, but thoroughly. Great staff, so friendly and easy. Great bedside manner where you could feel he is genuinely interested in your health. My only gripe, is that I wished I saw him sooner. Very knowledgeable and straightforward, and truly enjoys what he does. When that happens, you know you’re getting great care.

Dr, Nakashima’s staff is the problem with his office They don’t follow up with forms they promise to send and keep you holding on the phone way too long and when they do return to your call, there is not so much as a thank you for holding. I was only able to converse with the receptionist for a moment when she told me she needed to «move on.» If they are so busy, they should hire extra help to be able to handle their volume of calls. But Dr. Nakashima is a good doctor.

Went to see Dr. Nakashima for some vaccines for school. He’s a really cool guy, and a good, well-​intentioned and well-​informed doctor! Would go see him again. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions about nearly everything I could think of!

The negative reviews are so amazing to me that I thought I have been looking at a different Dr. Nakashima. My husband I have been seeing him for almost 6 years and he scores 10 out of 10 in every respect. He spends time, explains, is willing to learn about his patient as a human being and is profoundly helpful. Not to mention professional, and knowledgeable. He even returns calls the same day, heck within 1 hour. I did make him annoyed once but that was me. The practice is busy like all others. Once I had to wait 30 minutes extra but that was an exception. I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Nakashima.

Don’t waste your time at this practice. Dr. Nakashima finally ‘saw me’ after waiting for an HOUR and thirty minutes after my scheduled appointment time. The receptionists don’t seem to care when you ask them how much longer.
When I finally was seen I would have been fine if someone else had an emergency but his answer was ‘just running behind’. He made me do blood work and it has been over three weeks since the results supposedly came back and after calling the office 5 times for results — no one has called me back. Unacceptable.
I agree with everyone else — if you have something going on — SEE SOMEONE ELSE don’t even waste your time at this practice.

What Charlie S. said. Explicit unwillingness to help. He also seems to think disorganization and lack of communication in medical practices are «just the way it is» rather than do something about it. Would be a good doctor — if nothing unusual ever happens and you never get sick.

Dr. Nakashima is very nice, patient and takes time to hear about what might be ailing you. He has always given me good advice and recommended good specialists. He does have limited time (like most doctors nowadays), so as soon as he’s done your visit can end rather abruptly. My only issues have been dealing with the disorganized staff.

I had my first visit with Dr. Nakashima today and I found him to be av ery personable and knowledgeable doctor. After asking many questions about my medical history, he did a brief physical and followed up with some suggestions about doing some blood work for Cholosterol levels, since that runs in my family. So far, Dr. Nakshima has been good. I am supposed to meet with him in a month or so after the blood results come back. If I continue to have good experiences with him after subsequent visits, I would surely give him a 5th star.

Dr. Nakashima is a great physician! He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He doesn’t judge me on my somewhat dangerous lifestyle (although he does joke about motorcyclists donating organs). He is honest and thorough and can explain the most convoluted medical jargon in a straight-​forward manner. There are lots of doctors who can’t do this.
The facilities are more than adequate and the staff is relatively friendly and efficient. Dr. Nakashima is well respected in the medical community and has close working relationships with some of the best specialists in the world. I can’t imagine a better primary care physician!

He looks ok if you don’t have a problem. But if you do, he does not help you. Surprisingly he explicitly shows unwillingness to help. Do not waste your time with him. Find someone better!
