Dr. Nakasato is outstanding. She diagnosed and treated my problem. She asked questions to really understand the symptoms I was having.

Dr. Nakosano exhibited excellent bedside manner and decorum, something that is currently missing from the majority of CCF's caregivers. Additionally, even though I was present throughout the entirety of the visit, she remained focused on my daughter's needs and questions, rather than just addressing me as the parent and not including her in her own care.
