Dr. Nascimento’s Google Reviews
“Exceptional care! I’ve been seeing Dr Nascimento for jaw pain and working with Kyle Zenk for physical therapy. Everyone here is so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I tried a trigger point injection for my jaw, and I got light headed and clammy. They took care of me though by bringing me water, chocolate and an ice pack, and gave me plenty of time to recover. I knew I was safe and in good hands. They even called me back a little later to check up on me as they were all worried. Truly a world-class team, from the front desk staff to the nurses to the doctors and specialists. Dr Nascimento is compassionate and caring, and Kyle is very knowledgeable, encouraging and patient.” – Radiance
“Dr. N and Kyle my PT are amazing as is the rest of the staff at MN Head, Neck & Pain Clinic. I have suffer with TMJ & Fibromyalgia for more than 40 years and in the past my treatments plans with other doctors have not been successful. It’s refreshing that MN Head, Neck and Pain uses a team approach and within the last 3 months, with PT and now a splint, my pain is more than manageable. I didn’t in my wildest dreams think that I’d be feeling this well again. Kudos to the entire team, I recommend them to anyone that has TMJ issues!” – Sonja
