    Yes, she was very nice, very pleasant, very easy to talk to, and I enjoyed my visit, even though it was a pap smear, but I did enjoy it. But I thank her, and I just appreciate her being nice, and calm, and understanding. You have a blessed day. Thank you, and I will be back for another physical next year. Enjoy your year. Thank you and have a blessed day.

    This was my first visit with Dr. Nathan and I was pleasantly surprised. I was happy with our visit. She was kind. She was considerate. I'm just thrilled that I have her as my new doctor since my other one retired and I loved my other one, my previous one, Dr. [redacted], but Dr. Nathan is just as sweet and nice.

    Although Dr. Nathan doesn't have menopause transition listed in her areas of clinical interest, she was very knowledgeable about the subject. I felt like it was helpful that I came in already knowing a lot after having read several books so we could get right down to business. [redacted]

    Even though I had never met her before , she treated me as important to her she took a culture which proved positive. She asked her assistant to call me about it; who also explained a Rx was faxed to my pharmacy. This call helped me to know I had a yeast infection. Quick action on Dr Nathan's part helped me get a quick start on curing this annoying problem right away. She's a good doctor!

    I'm so grateful to try with her. I feel like for first time, a doctor take their time to ask me how I feel, how I've been doing with my IUD, because that's why one of the main reasons, because I didn't want to the gynecologist. I'm so happy to take the word of one of the front desk, because she told me that she was great, and she was not lying. Awesome. She did ask me everything that I need to know. She explained everything. She answered all my questions, all my concerns, and I'm so grateful for it.
