Patient Comments
She was very nice, but seemed very rushed. She spoke very fast and only spent a few minutes with me. When I spoke, she would often jump in and not listen to all I had to say. It was very overwhelming, and I walked away unsure of what I was supposed to do next.
Jun 26, 2024
I understand that doctors can't spend all day with one patient. But, spending time, especially on our very first meeting, is a necessity. It sets the tone for the relationship. Rushing through, makes it feel like I am simply a number and not a human who has value.
Jun 26, 2024
When I voiced my concern to the clinician after our appointment and told her that I would be leaving the practice, she didn't offer an apology which showed me that I made the right decision in leaving. I'm struggling to find a new provider but I didn't trust Dr. Nazareth with my care.
Jun 26, 2024
The provider was arrogant and made a lot of assumptions about my level of wellness. It was our first time meeting and I found her to be dismissive of my health history.
Jun 26, 2024
Overall doctor was very pleasant and concerned although she seemed to be very mechanical in her approach. More textbook actions rather than truly listening or learning about me. I was fine with this approach although it was very different from my last primary care office. I mention this as this was a referral and my first visit due to the doctor retiring. I am happy and fine with her actions although I could see it being a concern for others that were referred. I
Jun 25, 2024
She spoke a little too quickly but seemed extremely busy with a lot of patients to see
Jun 15, 2024
I've received very good care over the years in URMC. Dr. Nazareth is now the best primary care provider I haver worked with.

I am very pleased with my doctor!
May 19, 2024
She's new to me I like her so far
May 19, 2024
I really like Dr. Nazareth. She's bright, energetic and really seems to want to provide the best care. Unfortunately, she always appears rushed and often doesn't wait to hear what I have to say before jumping to fill in the end of my sentence or where she appears to think I'm going with a question or statement.
May 18, 2024
Excellent
May 17, 2024
The whole staff was wonderful, including the doctor
May 17, 2024
Everything was great.
May 17, 2024
Feels like a corporate experience, like talking to my cell phone company.
May 17, 2024
Dr Nazareth spends too much time staring at the computer screen instead of making eye contact.
May 17, 2024
Dr Nazareth was very thorough and listened to my concerns. She helped to arrange blood work and follow up visits that I needed. I was very happy with the care and attention I received.
May 16, 2024
Wish the doctor had more time to spend with me during visit. [...]
May 12, 2024
I'm happy with my new primary
May 12, 2024
Couldn't be more confident in and appreciative of Dr. Nazareth's care
May 10, 2024
So I'm keeping an open mind with regards to returning to this practice, but so far I'm not impressed. Maybe I was there on a bad day.
May 07, 2024
This was an introductory visit. She was running late, which didn't bother me at all. I know it happens easily. However, when she asked me some questions and I started to explain she cut me off and stated the answer. I definitely felt unheard and that she was rushing to catch up.
May 07, 2024
All have been exceptional
May 06, 2024
All good.
May 06, 2024
My medication had not been adjusted in a long time and Dr. Nazareth looked into it, resulting in a change that made a big difference in my level of energy and feeling of well-being. Thanks, Dr. N!
May 06, 2024
Dr Nazareth is a caring and respectful physician she listens and takes the appropriate actions hit my medical needs and requirements

My provider shows compassion and respect. She informs me what she is going to do during an exam and puts me at ease from the beginning.
May 03, 2024
I am very satisfied with my care.
May 03, 2024
First time seeing this new primary care physician. She reviewed my files and made recommendations
Apr 29, 2024
Everyone was excellent.
Apr 29, 2024
Dr Nazareth is excellent. I never thought anyone could take Dr Sleeper's place after 30 years. So glad I was referred to Dr Nazareth.
Apr 29, 2024
I felt very comfortable throughout the whole experience, and I know I will never have to look for another PCP again.
Apr 26, 2024
Slow the visit down and listen to the patient. I understand a physician needing to evaluate but it seemed that the patient perspective held little importance.
Apr 24, 2024
She was too rushed. I wanted her to understand my history and it's possible relevance to the issue I was there for.
Apr 24, 2024
Dr. Nazareth was excellent. She was very thorough. She addressed everything that was not within a normal range. She didn't miss anything. I'm very confident & comfortable that my daughter is also in her care .
Apr 23, 2024
Extremely satisfied!!
Apr 23, 2024
Dr Nazareth. Very thorough, kind, listens to my concerns, and explains things. She was very busy that day and stopped in the room to say she was still working with the patient before me and that it would be only a few min more. Was very nice of her to do that. She works so hard
Apr 21, 2024
She always makes sure my records reflect any latest changes.
Apr 19, 2024
All of them - they are a great team.
Apr 19, 2024
Professional, understanding Very good experience
Apr 19, 2024
I started with Dr Nazareth in January 2023.Dr.Kerper my doctor of 30+ years retired and I literally cried. Dr Nazareth has proven to be his equal and more. I have the greatest respect for her & the care I have received. She listens, speaks clearly & shows great compassion. I have had a kidney transplant in October 2023, and a brain bleed in January 2024 that Dr Nazareth was first to recognize. She insisted I go to the ER immediately & probably saved my life. The neurosurgeon who operated said that had I not come in when I did I was days away from death. I had complained to the transplant team that I wasn't feeling well & they suggested more PT. 8 days later Dr Nazareth asked me to walk around the room. Immediately she recognized a neurological problem & sent me to the ER. I feel blessed to be her patient.
Apr 15, 2024
Everything positive, upbeat, made easier by good results (follow up visit).
Apr 15, 2024
Personable, kind and listens to the underlining problems or concerns.

1 of the 2 best doctors I have ever seen
Apr 13, 2024
[...] Extremely intelligent extremely smart but I wish you would have listened to my concerns with empathy sympathy or whatever
Apr 10, 2024
This is the first time I met with the provider, who is my new PCP. She appears to be an excellent care provider and I look forward to having her oversee my health issues.
Apr 10, 2024
Both Dr. Nazareth and her nurse (cannot recall name) were very helpful, friendly and made me feel comfortable
Apr 10, 2024
Every one was very helpful and courtious
Mar 29, 2024
Rating on the provider was an 8 because I am new to her as my PCP, so impossible to say "best provider ever," which is your 10 rating. At this point I expect that rating to be as high or higher in the future.
Mar 24, 2024
Dr. Nazareth does not listen, does not explain the recommended treatment or why it's necessary. Rushes through visits.
Mar 22, 2024
Help Dr. Nazareth learn the importance of really listening and becoming a more humble practitioner.
Mar 12, 2024
Dr. Nazareth always seems very rushed. She often starts to answer a question before I ask it. I don't think she values listening as much as giving her opinion or her directions.
Mar 12, 2024
Very friendly, kind nurse. Tracy I think.Dr. Nazareth is awesome!!

Both PA and Dr are very good
Jan 19, 2024
Dr. Iacobucci was great. [...] Dr. Nazareth seems good as new doctor.
Jan 18, 2024
Dr. Nazareth is exceptional. She identified cancer that was overlooked by my primary care doctor (who retired) and she saved my life. She continues to work with me on my treatment plan and works with the professionals at the Cancer Center to provide me an additional source of support and information that is invaluable.
Jan 17, 2024
Professional, courteous, caring
Jan 12, 2024

Jan 12, 2024
I look forward to seeing Dr. Nazareth in follow up!
Jan 10, 2024
I recently transferred my care from [...] practice when they retired. Their recommendation was to continue my care with Dr. Nazareth. After meeting Dr. Nazareth, I was Impressed with the depth and breadth of her knowledge, her humanism and compassion, and her astute approach to healthcare grounded In common sense and preventive medicine. I am so grateful to have found her and I think that she Is a shining example of URMC's motto of Meliora.
Jan 10, 2024
Dr. Nazareth spent time explaining her rationale for treatment options.
Jan 01, 2024
My primary physician, Dr Robert Kerper, retired and felt I would be in good hands here. Dr Nazareth is first rate, and listens to everything I feel I need to convey to give her the best information as to my health concerns. I admit to being a little nervous discussing men's health Issues the first time, but soon realized how professional and understanding she Is. I feel completely comfortable with Dr Nazareth and the entire team there, and thank Dr Kerper for the reference. My wife Is also now a patient here, and we couldn't be happier with the treatment and professionalism.
Dec 27, 2023
Always feel rushed because doctor wants to leave room.
Dec 17, 2023
Everything was excellent!It isn't necessary for providers to comment on normal lab results.

I would have said excellent but this was not an option.

The good news is you have plenty of easily accessible free parking, unlike SMH. Lol.And Dr.Nazareth seems to be very competent.
Jul 25, 2023
This was a first contact exam after my excellent private primary care physician whom I had been seeing for decades retired. I have also been involved in training residents at Strong Memorial in the bio-psycho-social model of interviewing for which the U of R is noted. So I was expecting an interview with more open-ended questions to invite me to share my health history and concerns about my current health. Some of that data emerged but I didn't come away with a strong sense that my physician understands who I am, what I hope to accomplish in my final decade+, and how my health and health care fit into my expectations and goals. I can appreciate that the healthcare system of the 2020s is going to be significantly different than the private healthcare model from which I have come. I also understand that the providers in this new system are not all going to have been trained in the Rochester model. Over time, my expectations will likely merge with the new reality and become more fulfilled.
Jul 25, 2023
Dr Nazareth does not listen and does not include me in decisions about my care.
Jul 22, 2023
Shoot. I didn't catch their names, but the receptionist was very cordial and I like the Physician's Assistant as well. Dr Robert Kerper was my internist forever, and was wonderful! He recommended Dr. Joanne Nazareth and I must say, I have been very impressed with her thoroughness, her breadth of knowledge, her efficiency, and her firm professionalism while still caring about the whole person. ( i.e. She sees the person behind the patient, not just the symptoms she is trying to diagnose.)
Jul 21, 2023
Absolutely NOTHING Bad about this provider! Dr Nazareth is thorough, knowledgeable, and caring. Excellent doctor.
Jul 21, 2023
Improve communication
Jul 15, 2023
After Dr Kerper retired I was worried about getting a new Dr. But I love Dr. Nazareth.
Jul 13, 2023
Dr Nazareth, she listens, explains, and always gets back to me when I have questions.
Jul 13, 2023
The physician asked if I had any questions or concerns. She paid attention to my current medications and was cautious of what she prescribed.
Jul 09, 2023
Dr. Nazareth was very good listener.
Jul 05, 2023
I was able to tell the doctor about all of my health concerns and was given very good instructions and care
Jun 30, 2023
[...] provider always seems rushed and in a hurry - needs more time to spend with patient and get into the history of the problem.
Jun 29, 2023
Provider changed my prescription but did not explain why it would help me [...]
Jun 29, 2023
I came from an excellent family medicine doctor who retired. He had a very small staff and a small office. Dr. Nazareth is part of a large medical group but her attention to her patients is every bit as good as the prior doctor. In addition the staff is much larger but every bit as professional concerned and friendly as the prior office.
Jun 26, 2023
Dr. Nazareth is knowledgeable about my medical history, she carefully reviews tests ordered, prior testing and overall concerns after blood work.
Jun 26, 2023
I do not like to be told not to ask question during the dr. Spiel

It was my first time with this Dr. Since mine retired. [...]
Jun 22, 2023
This was my first visit with my new Dr. I was very pleased with the visit and feel comfortable and confident in Dr. Nazareth's care.

Joanne Nazareth is an excellent physician with a very compassionate demeanor. She has helped me considerably in coping with a recent diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
Jun 19, 2023
I love this office.
Jun 13, 2023
She is awesome very thorough, and caring.
Jun 13, 2023
This was my first visit with Dr. Nazareth as my former provider Dr. Kerper retired in December. As this was a new patient visit, there was not much to review. She did give me a prescription for a sinus infection, and a followup appointment, which I did not need, as the antibiotics worked. All my labs were within normal limits and I reviewed them on MyChart. Dr. Nazareth was very pleasant, efficient and warm. I thought she did a great job.
Jun 12, 2023
Everyone was very nice and really seemed to like working with the Doctors in their areas. It was nice to see.
Jun 09, 2023
Happy to be a new patient.
Jun 09, 2023
My provider, physician's assistant, and staff were all very helpful.
Jun 08, 2023
She was thorough in questioning, but she did not address all of my questions and concerns
Jun 08, 2023
Doctor always seems hurried
Jun 05, 2023
Dr Nazareth. I have been extremely happy with her as my new doctor. I was lucky to get such a caring and thorough doctor.
Jun 02, 2023
I had been seeing an internist who was not employed by the UofR for 30 years. He retired, and the U of R took over his practice. This recent visit was a wellness visit but did not include an EKG or a Prostate exam as I would have had with my previous Internist. [...]
May 29, 2023
Slow down the conversation a bit.
May 29, 2023
Outstanding - Doctor.
May 24, 2023
Wow. This is a new provider for me, after my PCP of 36 yrs retired. This was my 2nd visit with her. [...]This doc and I just do not communicate well at all. She prefers to read test results to me right from My Chart, even thought I've already seen them, and after she's done, THEN I can speak and voice my concerns and questions. If I tried to say that such-and-such was not worrying me, but rather THIS was, she got frustrated with me since I did not listen to her whole recitation. She also was evasive if I asked her a question that perhaps she felt had a "negative" answer (regarding my health or test results.) The entire "conversation" was stressful and heated- on my part. I felt I could not get a straight answer from her. She was unaware that I had stopped taking a thyroid medication that we agreed to try for my somewhat sluggish thyroid at our 1st visit, even though I had emailed her as soon as I stopped it. Another doc in the practice responded that it was okay, but she was unaware of that. The end result of all this is that I am no longer her patient, [...] I am worried about getting refills for some of my scripts that will expire soon, but she did not indicate a willingness to refill them in the meantime. During part of our discussion, she stood in the doorway to the exam room with the door open- making it very clear that she was uncomfortable with me. But not any more than I was with her..... I was really frustrated since I could not get definitive answers from her or get her to address my concerns rather than talking AT me. It was not an exchange, or a two-way discussion. It was only being allowed to talk when it was "my turn." [...]
May 22, 2023
This provider was impossible to establish any connection with, and as a woman in my 70s, it's really important to me to have a doctor who I trust and feel cares about me as a human being, and doesn't just see me as another old patient that she has to deal with.
May 22, 2023
This was an introductory visit due to my previous PCP retiring and to get a change in one of my prescriptions. Dr. Nazareth when through my entire health history with me to be sure all the info was correct. She was very thorough and easy to talk with. I look forward to a long relationship with her as my new PCP.
May 21, 2023
I have never seen such a wonderful and compassionate doctor in my life. She is amazing. I feel so lucky to have found her.
May 21, 2023
I'm very happy to be connected with this office.
May 21, 2023
I am a new patient so all of my records were not yet transferred over. But Dr. Nazareth navigated through it extremely well.
May 13, 2023
Dr Nazareth is a new provider for me (have had two visits) due to my primary care physician retiring. I feel Dr Nazareth is an excellent replacement for my former primary care physician that I was extremely satisfied with.
May 13, 2023
Dr Nazareth as well as all office staff appear to be excellent. Visiting that office is a pleasant experience
May 13, 2023
I thought I was not part of a team but rather the lesser partner in the discussion. My point of view was not considered except for my persistence.
May 12, 2023
Showing interest in my health and care. Eye contact. She seemed like she was already thinking about her next patient when she was with me. Did not offer guidance in where to get my blood drawn even though it was next door. Did not offer to have my vaccinations done in the office with their nurses. Admittedly, I came from another PCP office and his care was exemplary. [...]
May 10, 2023
My previous primary care doctor (Robert Kerper) retired recently and he was by far the best doctor I've ever met. Because of that, I had very high expectations of Dr. Joanne Nazareth. I was very impressed with her. If I could pick one major reason for that, it's because she's a very good listener. She understood not only my questions, but why I was asking them.
May 04, 2023
[...] I do not feel this is a good fit for me [...]
May 02, 2023
This was my FIRST appointment with this provider.[...] I felt rushed through this visit and was not able to finish my questions as the dr. said "her time was up" she was in a hurry.
Apr 25, 2023
I would hope the next visit would be more complete, with a little more time - it is unfair to a NEW PATIENT to have 15 minute visit with a new doctor.
Apr 25, 2023
Dr. Nazareth is a new physician for me. I was impressed with her thoroughness and concern for my medical situation. I was very comfortable and pleased with the appointment.I
Apr 24, 2023

This was actually my first visit with Dr Nazareth. I had a wonderful doctor, Robert Kerper, who sadly retired last December. He assigned me to Dr Nazareth and she was terrific [...]
Apr 18, 2023
This was a really great experience and I cannot wait to continue my health journey here. Thanks!
Apr 18, 2023
Slow down, let me talk/explain and listen to me. I felt rushed. I feel the care provided was good but lacked a genuine connection from the provider.
Apr 17, 2023
Pre exam technician was super friendly and courteous. Made my first visit with Dr. Nazareth a very pleasent experience.
Apr 16, 2023
Dr. Nazareth was amazing. Very happy to have her as my PCP.
Apr 16, 2023
Overall it was a good experience. The provider did seem rushed for time which was unfortunate but I understand it was towards the end of the day, end of the week and she had a lot to handle so I wasn't surprised by that. It's the nature of things.
Apr 12, 2023
Everything was good
Apr 08, 2023
This was my initial "meet and greet" visit upon Dr. Kerper's retirement. The staff was pleasant and Dr. Nazareth was thorough, professional yet approachable. She seemed to really care about me and my health./
Apr 08, 2023
Had a great experience
Apr 07, 2023
My physician retired so new to Dr. Nazareth starting February 2023. Was more than impressed and pleased with Dr. Nazareth and staff at facility.
Apr 06, 2023
Doctor mentioned that we were running out of time
Apr 06, 2023
This appointment was a new patient meeting. In reviewing historic CBC results, it was alarming to be told that I may have chronic kidney disease and liver malfunction. My understanding is that the specific results that point to these possibilities are just barely outside of normal range. Further tests and a follow up in 3 months are planned. While I appreciate the thoroughness of the approach, and was told not to worry, it was a truly unsettling experience.

First time seeing Dr. Nazareth. She was very thorough, Personable. Office was clean, calm, friendly, helpful
Mar 31, 2023
Provider should be more of a sympathetic listener, rather than a smart person with quick answers.
Mar 31, 2023
Dr. Joanne Nazareth just joined the group. I had my first meeting with her. She was well versed in my past medical history and we discussed that as well. The nurse who saw me before the doctor that day, Amanda, did an excellent. Also prior to Dr. Nazareth joining the group I had a severe asthma flare up and another doctor from the practice a woman, took the time to meet with me the same day I called. She was smart, caring and open to my comments about how I had previously "stepped down off of steroids"
Mar 30, 2023
I am very pleased with the experiences I have had with this group. I was matched with Dr. Nazareth when my longtime doctor Kerper retired. I have been impressed with the cleanliness and the pleasant and helpful staff. From the person greeting you to the person taking the copay they are the helpful, smart and knowledgeable.
Mar 30, 2023
If the provider was not as rushed
Mar 30, 2023
This was a new patient interview. Dr. Nazareth was well prepared and answered questions which I raised. Based on this interaction have decided to have her be my PCP. My previous PCP Robert Kerper retired 12/31/22
Mar 25, 2023
I would like to find a new general practitioner
Mar 20, 2023
The dr. seemed very interested in what I had to say. But it was difficult to understand her with the mask on. I told her how I felt.
Mar 17, 2023
I give the dr. and her office ***.
Mar 17, 2023
This was my first visit with this provider, after my PCP of 35+ years retired. Provider was stressed and so I was stressed. It was not a comfortable visit.
Mar 15, 2023
I felt very rushed and not entirely listened to. I felt talked down to at times by Dr.Nazareth. It was a first visit however where a lot was covered as a new patient. Hopefully future visits will go better for me.
Mar 12, 2023
[...] She seemed judge mental and rushed and seemed put off.
Mar 05, 2023
[...] All of my health needs were met, the provider was wonderful. I will miss her, but wish her well.
Mar 03, 2023
This was my very first visit with Dr. Nazareth. My prior PCP has retired. I am looking forward to working with her.
Mar 03, 2023
This was my first meeting with Dr. Nazareth. She had reviewed my records and was well informed and helpful I was pleased with her care.
Mar 02, 2023
Dr. Joanne Nazareth is my primary care doctor. My previous primary care , Dr. Robert Kerper, retired as of the end of 2022. This appointment with Dr. Nazareth was a "Meet and Greet" appointment. Dr. Nazareth was very pleasant and thorough during this appointment. She not only covered my current medications and conditions but also discussed and ordered tests for recent test results from my last follow-up appointment with Dr. Kerper. All in all I was very satisfied with my appointment with Dr. Nazareth and plan on continuing to see her as my primary care doctor.
Feb 28, 2023
Considering how sick I was when I came in, my experience was excellent.
Feb 27, 2023
This was my second visit to this office, so everyone is new to me. They were all very nice. I was happy meeting my new primary doctor.
Feb 27, 2023
Dr Robert Kerper was my primary for nearly 50 years. I look forward to working with Dr Nazareth, for many years, although fifty years is probably not likely!
Feb 25, 2023
Have the provider listen more and explain more to the patient.
Feb 20, 2023
It seems like your people are in a "rush" like your overbooked. Everything is on a computer.
Feb 13, 2023
[...] all was good.
Feb 03, 2023
The dr. needs to spend more time listening to patient. She is often talking over me. She seems very fidgety or nervous to be out the door & done with it. Not a lot of compassion.
Jan 19, 2023
One of my concerns when I came in was the reemergence of some cysts that I've delt with in the past. My doctor got me an ultrasound appt quickly. My doctor also help me realize that I shouldn't just assume that I know what it is and that I can just ignore something bc I think I know what it is. I have faith in her knowledge and reasoning.
Jan 17, 2023
I will miss Dr. Nazareth when she leaves to work in Rochester
Jan 07, 2023
Keep providing caring and competent medical service.
Dec 31, 2022
I'm very sorry that Dr. Nazareth is leaving Hornell to move to a new practice in Pittsford. She's an outstanding clinician who truly cares about her patients. I've had many primary care physicians over the years. None have provided the personal attention of Dr. Nazareth. I will miss her greatly.
Dec 31, 2022
WITH THIS GIRL, how can you improve? The very best. Bar none? [...]
Dec 30, 2022
Wishing all good things for a wonderful doctor and person. Dr JoAnne has been the best and I know her future is bright. I will truly miss her.

Dr. Joanne Nazareth MD. She is one in a million, and very polite and very wonderful. [...]
Dec 30, 2022
I appreciate the care Dr. Nazareth has given to me and to my [...] old mother. I hope that, after she relocates to Rochester, that the next physician is just as good.
Dec 14, 2022
Dr. Joanne Nazareth! She is tenacious, caring, and a spitfire...doesn't waste time, puts forth great effort to find what is best for her patient.
Dec 14, 2022
Doctor can learn to multitask. She comes in. You try to talk to her and she shuts you down until she completes all the typing she need to do! Most answers given to me is "American Medical Association" recommends this or that.
Dec 10, 2022
Dr Nazareth looked out for me and was supportive.
Dec 09, 2022
Dr. Nazareth should ensure that the patient is able to talk to her as needed.

Dr. Nazareth is an excellent physician. She's very knowledgeable and treats me with friendliness and respect.
Mar 21, 2022
This was my first appointment with Dr. Nazareth since my previous provider left the practice in December. Dr. Nazareth seemed nice, but she spoke so fast that I had some trouble understanding her and I didn't feel like there was time for questions because she seemed to be in such a hurry. She was reviewing my chart and confirming my medications for the majority of the visit (i.e., looking at the computer rather than at me). [...] it didn't feel like much communication was happening. Being in the room with her felt like being in a whirlwind. [...]
