Dr. Nativi is the best doctor. He listens to every concern and thinks about every possible connection that could be causing my symptoms, which I greatly appreciate since I have multiple diseases and a complex case. He's not only concerned about health, but he also takes an interest in my life and makes sure I can stay as healthy as possible to keep doing the things I enjoy.
