He has a great bedside manner and worked hard to assemble a team to get me the help I needed as I have other health issues that makes any surgery a significant risk. I was turned down for surgery from two other providers because of those risks. In fact I was turned down at Morain Eye Ctr at first. Dr Nakatsuka personally called me, twice, to try and work out a plan to help me. We live in Arizona, and due to my other health issues, it is not easy for me to travel long distances. Nevertheless he told me that if we were willing to make the trip he would do what he could to make it happen without guarantees. It worked! Thank you Dr. Nakatsuka from the bottom of my heart.
