I don’t think most people have a favorite neurologist of all time, but I do — and it’s Dr. Bernadette Nazario-Lopez. I was thrilled to find out she had returned to my area, and I booked my first appointment back the moment I couldShow more. What sets her apart isn’t just her extraordinary kindness, patience, and compassion (though those are rare enough on their own) — it’s her unique expertise. She’s not only a board-certified neurologist with a specialty in headache medicine, but also a pharmacist. That combination is incredibly powerful, especially if you’re someone like me who has tried nearly every migraine treatment out there. She truly understands how medications interact and takes the time to tailor a plan that fits your body, not just a checklist of standard options. Dr. Nazario listens, she explains, and she genuinely cares about improving your quality of life. I left my appointment feeling not just hopeful for the first time since she left her previous practice, but understood. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
