Joanne M. Nazareth, M.D.

Dr Nazareth is always attentive, clear, knowledgeable and caring. Her office is efficient and kind. I am very happy with this doctor and the PA I saw on a previous visit.

Jan 31, 2024

I am fortunate to have such an outstanding health care facility [...].

Jan 29, 2024

Dr. Nazareth is excellent and thorough. I thought no one could replace Dr. Kuper? She is great!

Jan 24, 2024

All good

Jan 19, 2024

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 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.

Dec 13, 2023

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

Dec 13, 2023

She is always responsive to my concerns.

Dec 08, 2023

Really good to have my PCP close by my neighborhood. URMC Is doing the right thing.

Dec 08, 2023

I had a wonderful physician who retired and felt no one could take Doctor Kerper's place. Doctor Nazareth is excellent, and I am very happy.

Dec 07, 2023

Great staff and great doctors!

Dec 07, 2023

Care provider spends to much time focused on the COMPUTER!

Oct 13, 2023

Dr. Nazareth has been generous with her time. I am a new patient (as a result of the retirement of Dr. Robert Kerper (who served me well for 30+ years). I couldn't be happier with this impressive [...] doctor.

Oct 06, 2023

Perfect visit given enough time.

Oct 06, 2023

Dr. Nazareth is a bit abrupt; her PA's & nurses are very kind & supportive, especially during [...] cognitive testing.

Oct 04, 2023

She was condescending and spoke down to me as usual

Oct 02, 2023

Aug 24, 2023

I am completely satisfied.

Aug 23, 2023

Provider was genuinely concerned for me and my problems. We changed one of my prescriptions. The office staff took a positive role in obtaining referrals.

Aug 23, 2023

Dr. Nazareth is my new internist, since Dr. Kerper retired she has made the transition very smooth and has learned my medical history.

Aug 18, 2023

Keep up the good work.

Aug 17, 2023

Dr. Nazareth has good knowledge of my cancer situation. She's very helpful and positive.

Aug 17, 2023

Took the time to talk with me about my health concerns and about the death of my brother, Showed a lot of compassion, Appreciate Dr. Nazareth listening to me and sharing her experience,

Aug 17, 2023

I just feel like she talks too fast, and feel like we're being rushed. She's nice though

Aug 17, 2023

I really feel fortunate to have Dr. Nazareth as my health care provider. She is excellent

Aug 11, 2023

This was only the second time I have seen Dr. Nazareth. I am so happy I chose her as my doctor. She is just the kind of doctor I wanted and needed.

Aug 05, 2023

My provider listened to my concerns, answered all my questions and was friendly and knowledgeable.

Aug 05, 2023

Professional, courteous, listened to my concerns. Answered all my questions.

Jul 31, 2023

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

Jun 25, 2023

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.

Jun 22, 2023

Keep it simple and fast.

Jun 22, 2023

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

Impressive medical center all around

Apr 22, 2023

Dr Nazareth seems very good, first time visit. Only one small complaint is she talks very fast I had a hard time keeping up with her

Apr 21, 2023

It was a very good experience

Apr 21, 2023

I was very impressed with Dr. Nazareth. She is knowledgeable & a good listener. I felt comfortable with her recommendations for care.

Apr 19, 2023

First time visit, extremely impressed with the office, staff & my doctor.

Apr 19, 2023

Entire staff very cordial. Dr. Nazareth very thorough and attentive.

Apr 18, 2023

All was fine. No complaints.

Apr 18, 2023

Dr. Nazareth very nice and looking forward to a lasting patient/dr. relationship.

Apr 18, 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.

Mar 31, 2023

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.

Dec 30, 2022

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.

Oct 17, 2022

Dr. Nazareth. Nice caring doctor.

Aug 13, 2022

Dr. Nazareth seems to be interested and looking out for my health.

Jul 24, 2022

Dr Nazareth is excellent.

Jul 03, 2022

I was impressed with the rapidity with which she and St James got my chesr x ray performed

Jul 03, 2022

Need more time with the primary doctor so I can explain things for her to understand what I am trying to explain.

Jun 30, 2022

Dr. Nazareth - I let her know personally I appreciated her wonderful attitude and professionalism.

Jun 16, 2022

Doctor Nazareth has been very good to me

Jun 09, 2022

I was completely satisfied

Jun 09, 2022

Dr Joanne Nazareth is an excellent provider.

May 20, 2022

Extend a few more minutes for the doctor visit for questions.

May 12, 2022

Dr. Nazareth is a very good doctor. Before I switched to her I looked at other doctors before deciding with her. I am glad I choose her. She really seems to care. Is very nice and pleasant to be around.

May 11, 2022

Dr. Nazareth is knowledgable, warm, and caring...a wonderful asset...do everything you can to keep her on staff, please!!!

Mar 21, 2022

Dr. Nazareth cares about me as a patient and a person.

Mar 21, 2022

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. [...]

Mar 21, 2022
