Patient Comments

February 17, 2019Dr Namen is by far the best doctor my father has ever had! During our visits he treats us like friends which makes frequent visits a pleasure and something my father actually looks forward to. I wish all doctors put for the same amount of compassion for their patients as Dr Namen!
January 30, 2019Very easy to talk to & understand - showed genuine concern!
January 27, 2019Dr Namen is awesome. He was highly recommended to me and I wasn't disappointed. He explained my previous test results so that I could understand them. He carefully explained our course of action at this point. He even called me at home on Saturday night to see how one of the prescriptions was working for me. I have complete confidence in him.

August 31, 2018Dr. Namen is friendly and nice but needs to be more timely with his appointments.
August 18, 2018I LOVE Dr. Naman! He is so sweet, very respectful and makes you feel at ease. He truly listens to what you say, he found something wrong with me that has nothing to do with my breathing issues, which is what I see him for. He ran some tests on me because he listened to what I was saying. I cannot say it enough, I LOVE Dr. Naman!!
July 10, 2018Good experience.
June 6, 2018Dr. Namen is an excellent pulmonologist who cares deeply about his patients' well-being. During each appointment, he puts me at ease while we discuss my condition which, at times, has been quite scary and difficult for me to handle. We have worked together to keep things under control, and I am grateful to him for my progress. I know, without a doubt, that should things ever start to go toward the negative that Dr. Namen will see me as quickly as possible and work with me to get things back on track. The peace of mind that Dr. Namen gives me regarding my medical care is priceless.
June 4, 2018I felt like I understood what MD was saying in appointment, but husband said he did not.
June 4, 2018This was a great visit! I felt he explained my health situation in a understanding way to me. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions he was very thorough and took his time making sure I understood medication I need and why. Great Dr.
May 29, 2018Andrew Namen, M.D. is n outstanding clinician professor who cares for his patients greatly and treasures the opportunity to teach his clinical and communicative skills to the next generation of physicians.

May 8, 2018I was very impressed with Dr. Namen. He is very caring and explained all of my concerns in terms I can understand. Wake Forest Baptist is very lucky to have him as a provider. This was my first visit with him and I was very comfortable.
