I’ve been seeing Dr. Nakawa for many years. He is the first doctor actually listen sit and listen to me. He takes his time, and tries to figure out what works best for you, and if it doesn’t work by the next appointment he will try something else until you both agree on works best for you. He has never pushed anything that I never felt didn’t work for me. I highly recommended him, and his staff is also very welcoming and very nice as well.

I have been seeing Dr. Nakawa for a few years now, and I have never had any issues. His new location WAY LESS, is set up really nice and the atmosphere is very inviting. The staff has always been very friendly and helpful. While following doctors orders, I have managed to keep my weight loss goals and glucose numbers under control. Dr. Nakawa is always encouraging and makes me feel very comfortable. This is the place I needed to be without being criticized if I fall off. 😊

I went in for a DEXA Body Scan. From the moment I walked in my experience was more than pleasant. Super friendly, knowledgeable and professional staff. The scan process is explained to you in detailed because you will be doing it privately in a room, the results go straight to your phone, and the doctor will as well go over them with you in case you have questions, and will as well suggest what to do to achieve your body/weight goals. I did not use my insurance and the cost was only $30. Definitely going back in 3 months for another scan.

Some of the best staff I’ve ever met! All very professional yet personable and very genuine in wanting to help everyone meet their goals. Dr. Nakawa has helped me so much to hit my weight loss goals while also creating new and healthier lifestyle habits and has even celebrated my milestones with me during appointments! With having PCOS, he has given me help to lose weight and increase my fertility as well as just minimize the symptoms that come with PCOS by losing weight. I’ve been seeing Dr. Nakawa for almost a year and have lost almost 60 pounds thanks to his help with lifestyle changes, advice on exercises, and medication. Highly recommend Way Less!
