As a direct incompetence of Dr Nath, my mother died. The mdication made her sick and she ignored her concerns. She developed pancreatitis and died. When Dr Nath was called about the excruting pain my mother was in, she was told to reduce by one dose and was given an anti-nausea medication but told her to keep taking it. It actually killed her pancreas and caused her death. Stay away
Dr. Nath's heart is in the right place and she is knowledgeable but she has no ability to coordinate with other doctors and get things done including prescriptions, tests, and accurate diagnoses. Waiting for her has taken 2 or more hours which is untenable. I am afraid I am done with her after many years. I don't think she really wants to coordinate care with others and has never had good support staff.
Dr. Nath is an excellent and compassionate doctor. She is very busy and yes there is a wait...but once you are with her she takes her time and is methodical about going over her notes. I have gone to her for years and she has always returned phone calls as soon as possible, helped with referrals and took care of acute situations immediately.
Dr Nath is not over worked. She simply doesn't care about how she or her staff treat her patients. Every appointment I had with her, scheduled months in advanced for midmorning times, her secratary will telephone me in the morning on the same day, to tell me that Dr Nath needs to reschedule for later in the afternoon on the same day. As I am a psychologist, this means I need to end up canceling my appointments for the entire day as I live in another State. I spoke to Dr Nath about my concerns and she continued to do the same... read more
Dr. Nath routinely runs at least an hour behind, it is not uncommon to wait 2 hours in her waiting room for an appointment. I would not mind this but the staff will not tell you if/how long she is running behind so you have no choice but to show up and wait. Difficult if you're working, have family you care for, etc. She has canceled appointments on me at the last minute, less than 24 hours in advance, then said she'd get me in that week, only to have me wait over a month for the rescheduled appointment. I think she is over-... read more
Based on 10 years experience, I can honestly say she runs at least one hour late for her scheduled check-up appts. because it's a small part of her practice, and she accomodates emergency visits. When you do get to see her, she's thorough and attentive. Scheduled procedures run much more efficiently.
Dr Nath saved my life by identifying a hidden source of cellulitis. She may be busy but I think she is a very good doctor
Dr. Nath has been my interniist for many years. She has always responded effectively to my concerns with care and knowledge. Can't imagine life without her expertise. She's a wonderful doctor.
