About Nagendra Natarajan MD, MPH
Upon completing my medical schooling in India, I enrolled in the Masters in Public Health Program – majoring in public health education at Western Kentucky University. This program taught me the importance of patient education and the need for research to manage complex diseases effectively, especially cancer. I continued to build on this knowledge during my internal medicine/pediatrics residency training at Creighton University, and my hematology and medical oncology fellowship training at the University of Louisville, Kentucky.
Specialties
In my practice, my goal is to educate every patient regarding their diagnosis, discuss standard and clinical trial treatment options and provide the personalized care they deserve. Here at NCS I have the privilege to practice medicine and provide care as it is meant to be.

Takes time with me and explains things to me so so great.

Great support and feedback. They truly cared about what care and when to start it. They covered our insurance and lined up the appointments. The nurse navigator was so nice and appreciated her writing down information at the doctor meeting.
-
These angels always go the extra mile for all of us. Many times I hear one of them unaware I am being observant, caring for a patient so lovingly and patiently it nearly brings a tear. VALERIE goes above and beyond for Joe and me, always understanding my concerns and listening. The lab girl is amazing, never feel a thing. Heather, Dr Ns case manager is a saint, as we're the two before her. Would never consider going anyplace else for care.
-
Extremely friendly. Would highly recommend.
-
Very good care.

Amazing compassion and care from all employees.

All the employees are nice but one named I believe, Erin, made me feel awesome! She is wonderful!
-
Everything was awesome!
-
Staff is always friendly and ready to assist.
-
Dr. Natarajan is hands down the absolute best medical professional there is! My family and I can not say enough good things about him- from his genuine caring nature, to his extra thoroughness, and not to mention the amount of time he spends with his patient (never rushed!); he is the BEST!
-
Thank you for being so courteous.
-
Pam the nurse navigator is an Angel she goes above and beyond.
-
It is always a nice experience to visit the clinic, Everyone is so friendly and remembers your name and treats you like a friend. WONDERFUL STAFF. kEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Ever since I started my journey with NCS I feel that I have the received the best personalized care possible! Thank you for all you do!
-
Every part of the appointment and interaction with staff went well.
-
Staff and treatment are excellent

Well cared for!
-
Everyone from day one has been compassionate, caring, understanding and kind to me. I would 100% recommend your services to anyone in need of them. Thank you for all you do and being so kind to me. Thank you.
-
My Dr. had ordered CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. For unknown reason, the chest scan was omitted, so I have to come back to have that done. My CT report stated that my gall bladder was surgically absent. I have never had my gall bladder removed. These are serious problems. Dr. Natarajan and his staff are wonderful, as are most of the staff who took care of me during my imaging procedures. I think these lapses should be investigated. They are serious and should not happen again to me or anyone else.
-
Everyone there has been so great with my mom Rita Rome! We are very thankful!

I am unable to say how excellent the drs and nurses including all staff treat patients and their families. All visits are not only accomplished with precision and accuracy but with caring and understanding emotional needs. I am in awe every time we come. How fortunate to have this in Omaha.
-
Very kind.helpful
-
Have the utmost faith in Dr Natarajan, all his PA's and nursing staff.
-
I am so grateful for the care I have received at NCS. From the very beginning of my diagnosis, my care plan has been excellent. Appointments were made quickly, cooperation of care between the hospital and cancer center was seamless. We have friends who have had treatment in other facilities and their care was complicated and confusing, which delayed treatment. NCS provides outstanding, professional, and personalized treatment. I thank all the personnel from the reception desk, to the lab, to the infusion center, to my doctor for their dedication to each patient.
-
The staff and facilities are great. The care is excellent. I would recommend any cancer patient to go there.
-
I have had horrific experiences with numerous doctors in other practices, so I am about as jaded as any patient can get... the invalidation, the egos, feeling like you are nothing more than a number, not even a human being...it's been terrible. But THIS is how medicine is supposed to be practiced. Dr. Natarajan is what a doctor is SUPPSOSED to be like. I don't want him to take any time away from us patients, but Dr. Natarajan could teach a course in how a physician should run a practice. It's good for the patient, good for the doctor, and I have doubt, good for the bottom line of the practice, financially speaking too. I feel supported here.
-
I like Nagendra . He is a very good dr.
-
Erin was the nurse who explained my results to me. So extremely nice, explained it well enough for a novice to understand. thanks
-
As always - outstanding in every way! Thank you all...
-
I have been very pleased with Dr. Natarajan and am sorry he won’t be in Fremont anymore. I don’t know Dr. Wells, but have been told she is also very good.
-
From reception area to medical examination room was top notch! Caring and helpful staff. Pam - nurse advocate was instrumental in keeping both my husband and myself calm by taking notes for us. Dr. Natajaran was friendly and explained my situation very clearly. My future tests were set up before leaving. We are very thankful to God for having such wonderful medical experiences and care provided.
-
Always friendly and professional
-
Going into the fifth year, the people, facilities and care have been absolutely outstanding. Just like walking into your family gatherings.

I feel very comfortable there..
-
Something not right they let you know right away
-
Everyone is friendly and helpful and cheerful. Even when they are very busy. like today, no one was cranky or short-tempered. The staff are just who you need them to be when you're a cancer patient.
-
Watched a ton of interaction with the entire staff, myself and others.Totally impressed with the care I witnessed.
-
This is a scary experience for me to enter with my son. The level or kindness and compassion was certainly shown throughout the entire facility.
-
Great
-
Currently, I'm dealing with a family member who has Parkinson''s and I have been her primary care provider for five years. Since January, other medical issues have impacted her. In the last two weeks, she has been taken to the ER, spent 10 days in the hospital and placed last Monday at a long term care facility. That alone has been stressful. To add to this adjustment, she did not receive her Parkinson's medications on a timely/routine basis. Yesterday, we thought all of that had been corrected until today. I have to say the NCS nurses listened and acted to help me get assistance with this stressful transition. I am so grateful for their help and guidance.
-
Facility is great. Love the Drs and staff especially the nurse navigator. It’s nice to have someone take notes and help you with anything and everything.

My doctor was very concerned about my personal life,
which is affecting my physical health.
-
My appointment was just for a blood draw. Fast and easy.
-
I have been patient for approximately 12 years, and really cannot think of a single complaint. I had a reaction to the medicine one time and the nurses were more than competent and compassionate. As mine is a chronic issue, I can’t see me going anywhere else. Thanks for the great job you all do!!!!

Dr. Natarajan and the entire staff are the best. I could not ask for better care.
