Patient Reviews
Apr 18, 2023
Dr. Peter Nakajii is an exceptional doctor, who removed my big meningioma brain tumor. The post-surgery recovery was exceptionally fast. I was so impressed with his demeanor and exceptional manners. He thoroughly explained my brain surgery. His staff was also exceptional from the very first phone call.
