He listens to what problems I am having and tries to resolve them. He orders tests and lets me know the results when he gets them. I have been a patient for along time.

Dr. Nakao has been my pulmonologist for several years. Always very pleasant and informative.

He was very nice and discussed the issue with me a bit, but didn't have much information or guidance to offer beyond logging my sleep, doing a sleep study, and talking to my pain management doctor about my pain being part of the reason I don't get restful sleep.

Dr Nakia is full of information, advice, patience, and is very clear and helpful in discussing these complex lung/heart connections. I feel very confident with him, and appreciate his detailed communication style. I’m so relieved to be his patient. Lynn Ryan

This was a post hospital stay visit. I was squeezed in. Dr Nakao spent plenty of time with me and I was satisfied with the treatment he prescribed.

Did not seem up to speed on my treatments. Failed to fully read my charts before seeing me. Was unaware of treatments that were prescribed at his recommendation.
