Dr. Nagar is one of the few doctors I have encountered throughout my life who actually walks the talk regarding patient care. I honestly feel like she would do home visits if systems were capable of handling. I have visited with NM Neurology and Dr. Nagar multiple times with each visit being a thorough recap of what has transpired and what to expect in the near and distant future. I have confidence in Dr. Nagar and NM Neurology.
