I gave that score because she's actually the reason I'm still living and she didn't do contest and everything I would never have known about my how bad it was, but she had the other doctor, Dr. Jami his colleague. Dr. Block did the surgery and I'm here for all four grandchildren so I am thankful to her because she looked out for me. I don't know what I would do without her and I still go to her for three months.a

Trusting your medical team is one of the most important values to solve for in your medical journey. If you do not have a solid of foundation of trust with your provider, then you are in the wrong office. Dr Nagar has absolutely earned my confidence after just one visit. Where most doctors follow protocol and run the average test to no avail, Dr Nagar wants the full picture and work outside of the box. Her careful listening and asking the right questions filled me with hope. Dr Nagar is just as interested in solving my medical problems as I am. I cannot express the importance of this last statement. At the end of my appointment, Dr Nagar did something I have never seen before, she gave me a hug on the way out. Not only is she helping me heal my neurological issues, she healed my heart. I felt see, heard, and comforted because Dr Nagar is on the case!

Dr. Nagar scored a number of firsts for me: 1. Was well informed regarding my health issues of the past and why I was there. This has not always been the case in the past with other practitioners where we start from 'scratch' when we meet in the exam room. 2. Listened intently and responded in a non-condescending manner to my questions and answers. Seemed genuinely interested in helping me get relief vs moving me through the 'process'. 3. Both Annette and Dr. Nagar were on the same page throughout my visit and anticipated very well what was important and relative to my situation. 4. Offered very convenient follow-up tests/appointments to help resolve my situation as soon as physically possible.
