A Rare Find Finally Getting Real Help for My Chronic Migraines As a former nurse, I’ve always been cautious, even skeptical, when it comes to choosing doctors. I’ve struggled with chronic migraines for years and had already seen Show moretwo different neurologists, neither of whom were able to help. One, I lost interest quickly when medications didn’t work after 6 mths. The other assumed my migraines were muscular and sent me to physical therapy, which offered no relief at all. So, I began the search again, this time determined to find someone truly knowledgeable and willing to listen. That’s when I found the Migraine & Headache Center, run by Dr. Nazario. To my surprise, she called me personally. We had a thorough conversation, during which I asked a lot of questions, and she patiently answered every single one. That alone impressed me. The following week, I had my first appointment, a full 90 minutes she spent with me, where we went through my entire history and all the medications that had failed. Dr. Nazario took the time to explain what she believed was happening in my case and laid out a treatment plan that made sense to me. Even better, she had backup options ready if the first approach didn’t work that also made sense. She is brilliant, deeply experienced, and refreshingly compassionate the kind of specialist who actually listens and involves you in your care. That’s rare these days. I drove over 90 minutes to see her, and it was absolutely worth it. (She was out of network for me, but absolutely worth it!) If you're suffering from chronic migraines or headaches and haven’t found the right fit yet, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Nazario. She is a rare find, and for people like me who’ve been searching too long for answers, she might be the one you’ve been hoping for.
Dr Bernadette was an exceptional professional. As a gay man I often experience bigotry from doctors in Florida. So much so that I test my doctors on first meeting and her response was that of a consummate professional. She gave meShow more nearly two hours to discuss my medical issues and was extremely through and pleasant during our entire initial visit. She set expectations which are not what I was hoping for (I want to never deal with migraines ever again) and she told me together we will go through this and get me back to normal function. As a gay man and a human I appreciate she didn’t make me and my husband feel unwelcome or that we would receive substandard care to any of her patients. She offers virtual and in person visits and I am hopeful together with her treatment plan I can hopefully have a better life.

Dr Nazario is truly an example of what a Physican is. She has sincere compassion and true interest in helping her patients not only feel better, but helps find the root cause of their illness. She works as a team WITH her patient, truly listens, investigates and both come up with a plan of care that the patient is satisfied with. I have been with Dr Nazario for about 4 years now and will not change her for anyone else! CD
Professional, attentive and I did not feel rushed. Dr. Nazario also has a degree in pharmaceuticals which I find valuable in a Neurologist with a focus on migraine medicine. I would recommend Dr. Nazario highly.
My wife has seen numerous Neurologists over the years, and none can compare to Dr. Nazario. She is top notch. She truly cares about you and addresses all your questions. She takes the time to listen to you and appointments are never rushed. She's extremely knowledgeable in medications due to her pharma background. She is very polite and compassionate. Lisa V.
The doctor listened to our concerns and gave us all the information available about treatment options. She was kind and took her time during our visit which is a rarity in the medical field.We look forward to our next visit and confident the treatment is what we have been searching for.
