My goal is to help my patients reach their best possible health so that they can prevent hospitalizations.”

Dr. Nazare completed an internal medicine residency at Memorial University in Savannah, Georgia. She provides compassionate care to patients and works with them to develop a treatment plan that benefits their long-term health.
