About Dr. Nakamura

Dr. Nakamura was born and raised in Hawaii and is board certified in both urology and urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery. She completed a two-year clinical fellowship in FPMRS at UCLA. Special interests of Dr. Nakamura include patients with urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and voiding dysfunction as well as genitourinary symptoms of menopause. She has been recognized numerous years as a physician of excellence in orange county as well as a rising star in urology in southern California. Dr. Nakamura is the physician advisor to the pelvic health program at Hoag as well as the director and leader of the center of excellence in continence care for women at Hoag. She is also a designated master surgeon in continence care from the NAFC and SRC.

She has multiple publications in several journals and is also a co-author of a chapter in the prestigious textbook Campbell’s Urology.

Dr. Nakamura says her style of interaction with patients is informative and interpretive. “I present patients with factual information, make sure they have an understanding of their options, and work closely with them to come up with the best treatment plan possible. “

“I truly believe that treating a patient is a team effort from multiple disciplines, with the patient being the leader – not the physician. It is our job to help the patient make the best choices possible for their health and quality of life,” she said.

In her personal life, Dr. Nakamura keeps active with running and pilates. She also enjoys camping, hiking and travel with her husband, three daughters and dog.

Testimonials

“The office, staff and doctors are absolutely wonderful. They are very caring. The staff makes you feel very comfortable and they are very helpful. Dr. Spitz is a great doctor. It’s a great group.”

“Not only was O.C. Urology professional, they went out of their way to make sure I had a good reaction when taking care of my problem. They gave great care and followed up when necessary.”

“This is my first visit to this office. The staff and employees are friendly and accommodating. My first visit I felt so relaxed, because of the friendly environment. Dr. Tebyani was so friendly and honest. He would advise patients on only what is necessary. He is more after the well-being of the patient instead of their wallet. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone who needs medical help. Thanks.”
