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.
