Friendly, caring and helpful staff. Dr. Nakfor explains everything and shows images. He is friendly and pits me at ease.
The moment you step into this serene, Zen-like office, you're welcomed by a warm and calming receptionist. The office itself is immaculate and beautifully designed. The staff is not only pleasant but also exceptionally well-trained, which makes even the most stressful visit much more comfortable. Dr. Bruce Nakfoor truly stands out as the best.

Dr Nakfoor is amazing! Everything starts off and ends perfectly. He is so kind and personable. He makes you feel like you are part of his own family. His knowledge and care about different cancers and treatments are amazing. He makes you feel comfortable and any fears or doubts you might have drift away. His bedside manor is bar none. He doesn't just listen to what you have to say, he absorbs it and has exactly what's needed for an answer or suggestion or even peace of mind. He is not your run of the mill in-and-out Doctor. He is genuine in his practice, knowledge, talk and heart. If you're looking for a cookie-cutter treatment plan, you won't find it here. Dr Nakfoor specially tailors a treatment plan for you and what your needs are. He's the Best! And his staff...WOW!!!! I was going thru some things in my cancer journey and was having severe depression episodes, and his staff...every one of them... were like a kind, supportive, loving, sincere, caring best friend. The heart that his staff has...I've never experienced anything like it at a doctors office. Truly a very special people. Thank you Dr Nakfoor!And thank you Emilee for everything and teaching me about self advocating and how important it is as a patient. You Rock!!!And thank you to the team: Angie, Gerry, Hannah, Katelin, Patty, Connie, Christina, Evelyn and Quiomi. You all were awesome! *extra shout to Angie & Gerry, your kindness and heart and love thru my rough times mean more than you can ever know. Thank you!

The entire staff was pleasant and so helpful and caring. Dr Nakfoor is an expert and very informative. Will go back if I need help again
Beautiful office, staff warm and personable and took plenty of time to answer questions.Dr Nakfoor was amazing. So knowledgeable about my condition and consulted with another specialist while I was there to decide best course of treatment. Even followed up with me over the weekend.
Dr Bruce, is the best Doctor not only here in Southwest Florida, I think is the best world Doctor, from our experience.
Dr Nakfoor and his staff are extremely calming and supportive. I am completely confident in my care and treatment with them.
I can’t speak highly enough of Dr Nakfoor and his entire program. I am so happy that I came to Florida to have my radiation treatment with him. His program at Inspire Exercise Medicine is fabulous. I feel more fit than I did before my diagnosis. The fact that he cares about your entire well being as a whole person with exercise and nutrition makes a world of difference when going through this difficult time and treatment. Everyone in the office and the gym is unfailingly cheerful and helpful EVERY single visit! Dr. Nakfoor gave me the best information of all the professionals I met with throughout the process. He was clear and caring throughout. I highly recommend Dr Nakfoor and the entire Inspire Oncology Team!
Office staff was organized and very helpful. Dr. Nakfoor took time to go over all my scans and overlayed them on screen to show what needed to be done. He explained the plan and how we would proceed.
My experience with Inspire Oncology has been exceptional. Dr. Nakfoor and his entire team’s dedication to the care of their patients is evident the minute you interact with them. In my case, Dr. Nakfoor was on vacation when my Oncologist, Dr. Mark Rubin, asked him to review my case. We met the next day and he had thoroughly reviewed my records in preparation for this appointment. Within two days, Drs. Nakfoor and my Oncologist reviewed my case and proposed treatment plan with a leading Oncologist at Mass General to elicit a second opinion prior to my treatment commencing. I recently reviewed the post treatment results with Dr. Nakfoor. The detail and amount of time spent to cover everything was comforting and greatly appreciated. I’m truly blessed with the collaboration between Dr. NaKfoor and my Oncologist, their accessibility, transparent communication, and proactive approach to eliciting input from other colleagues is at a level that I have not experienced before. I highly recommend Inspire Oncology.
Dr Nakfoor is a breadth of fresh air in a town that has a lot of get rich fast flyers, that seem to be in it for the money. He legitimately cares for his patients and has your best interest at heart. I was originally referred to him and he truly lived up to his word and promises. Great Dr and person. Highly recommend him. His partner and entire staff reflect his professionalism and general good nature bed side manner.
I just started with Inspire and am confident they will perform an exceptional job. Dr Nakfoor took a lot of time consulting and explaining everything.
Great start to my radiological journey. Dr Nakfoor took the time to walk me through MRI, Pet scan , biopsy, etc. Satisfyingly thorough and complete. I left our consultation extremely satisfied.
I felt that Dr Nakfoor and his staff were truly interested in my well-being and he is willing to put in the extra effort to research the specific conditions I have experienced.
I thought Dr. Nakfoor was very intelligent. He explained my radiation treatment fairly well, although I had to ask him what type of radiation I would be getting and why. I left a bit confused about the exercise program and would have liked some more information about it, from Dr Nakfoor.
Dr. Nakfoor is very compassionate, very skilled, and a good problem solver.
Pleasant staff. Appointments on time. Dr Nakfoor unhurried, and explains everything very clearly. Same for his nurse practioner.
If you need an expert in Radiation, Dr Nakfoor and his team should be your choice. They were prompt, professional, and very helpful in helping me understand the process and answered all my questions. Dr Nakfoor exhibited a level of expertise, confidence and professionalism that assured me that I made the right choice.
I had a great experience. Dr. Nakfoor does a great job of explaining things. Spent a significant amount of time with us. Great staff also, friendly and knowledgeable.
Wonderful experience. This doctor and his staff do everything, and even beyond expected, to create a relaxed and friendly experience. 👍
Dr. Nakfoor is an amazing doctor! I’ve been a patient of his for almost one year and I truly believe he saved my life. During my first appointment he was on the phone scheduling referrals for an IV port, chemo doctor, Imaging, etc. I didn’t have to worry about researching doctors, making phone calls or scheduling appointments, he basically did it all for me. Dr. Nakfoor is a true professional and I highly recommend him.
I was very much impressed with both Dr Nakfoor and his staff. Everyone in the office was able to educate and inform my husband and I of the treatment I am about to receive. All this was done in a very relaxed and congenial manner. I felt relaxed and more informed and involved in my medical care. Inspire Oncology has settled my mind and spirit in another chapter of my life. God bless them all!
Dr Nakfoor is the best! Look not further. Very attentive, responsive and caring. He well prepared me for a difficult treatment that I required. I strictly followed his advice of exercise and diet while I was sick and it wasn't always easy. I believe that my ability to recover better than I could have ever imagined is attributed to being under his care. I completely trusted him and today I am cancer free and healthy. I credit Dr Nakfoor and his wonderful staff for my stellar recovery. He is an exceptional doctor!
Dr. Nakfoor and staff are first class! My first appointment was preceded with his staff reviewing the multi-page questionnaire I had already filled out. (Yes, they actually read it) All the details that could be addressed were taken care before meeting the doctor. He’s very personable and took all the time needed to educate me on my medical issue and treatment. I wasn’t rushed. He’s an outlier. I highly recommend him.
