Dr. Nascimento was clearly very knowledgeable. He was very upbeat, eager to solve the issue. I just had a tremendous feeling of well-being and I knew I was going to get great care when I walked in the office and when he came into the examination room. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

It was comfortable and informative for me to visit with Dr. Nascimento for his assessment. I asked about long-term prognosis and he was very helpful in providing me that overview, which complements my interaction with my physical therapist, [redacted] It was a great visit!

In my opinion, Dr. Nacimento was the utmost professional, respectful, and efficient caretaker that I've seen in a long while. And I'd be happy to recommend or see him if I had to again in the future.
