FAQs

Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?

Whether a referral is required depends on your insurance plan. Some insurance providers require a referral from a primary care physician, while others allow you to schedule directly with a specialist. Self-pay patients typically do not need a referral. Our office staff can help verify your insurance requirements and guide you through the scheduling process.

How can I renew my prescription?

Prescription renewals are typically handled by contacting your pharmacy, which can submit a refill request directly to our office for review and approval. You may also be able to request refills by calling us directly at (602) 313-7772 or by using the patient portal. Please note that certain medications may require a recent follow-up appointment before renewal.

— WebMD Patient Review

"I would strongly discourage anyone from using Dr. Nakaji. As a result of his carelessness and incompetence, I am now profoundly physically disabled... Dr. Nakaji performed a decompression surgery for my Chiari I malformation... I began having numerous new neurological symptoms, which he had no explanation for..."
