Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Caring, Knowledgeable and Explains Procedures
Dr. Nair accessed my pain issue, explained what was causing it, how he could address it, relieve it, and then, manage it, so I could continue to live life, without being monopolized by pain. I have been able to continue to work, enjoy my family and friends and my daily routines, with a management plan, in place. It’s been a blessing to me. Thank you, Dr. Nair, and your staff, Megan, Angela, Tye, to name a few, and all of those in your office, helping in all areas.

what a Joke! the DR. is wonderful, The staff assisting the Dr. is wonderful. The front office has a princess working there that gets her feelings hurt easily. The office called me to set an appoint, I had my wife ask off work to take me. so I called back to confirm. The office princess tells me she made a mistake and I cannot be seen that day. so we have to set it up for the next week. So I have to call me wife again and see if she can change the day with her employer. (not easy to do). ok date changed. This was 3 weeks out. yesterday at 3:00 the office princess called me to tell me she was canceling my appointment for today at 9:00 am because I don't have insurance coverage unless she could get it verified. The Drs. office closes at 4:00 she calls at 3:00. I told her impossible so I called my ins. company, no problem on their end. I call back tell office princess ins. says I'm covered. She askes for a log number. I ask what's that? she tells me when I speak to the ins company its re

This office is terrible. The staff argues in front of patients and insult to injury, these people send me a bill for $20 2 years after my last appointment. Don’t waste your time.

I recommend Dr.Nair to anyone considering a great doctor. He is a caring doctor, and I can't say the same about the many other doctors I have came across during my lifetime. Also, he has a degree from Harvard and other medical degrees from other colleges and I have yet to say to see any other doctors in Louisville who can say the same. He has several ways to help his patients. Everyone I have talked to while waitng to be seen loves him.

Dr. Nair has been the best to say the least! I had been in so much pain for over 15 years and he helped me all the way. He did surgery and inserted a pain pump that has been a God send. I also have recommended him to all of my friends with the same pain I have had.

I have been dealing with chronic back pain for years & had multiple medical procedures since 2011. I'm now 6 days post-op following Dr Nair pain pump implant & feeling great. I was hesitant about getting the Medtronic device installed in my body but am extremely happy I did. Dr Nair & Brian (Medtronic support nurse/tech) have been extremely helpful addressing all of my questions. Feeling like I have a life again is wonderful. I cant thank this group enough.

I have been a patient with Dr. Ajith Nair Neurosurgeon for a few months now and I am pleased to be his patient. Dr. Nair is a very thoughtful compassionate doctor who listened to all my symptoms and comments about my conditions and did major examinations and my only option was to remove the pain pump I now have and replace it with a new one. Dr. Nair is a great doctor and friend. If you have need of a pain specialist then Dr. Ajith Nair is a good doctor for your pain symptoms. PAIN STOPS HERE.

I believe and have experienced that Dr. Nair is a very competent and effective physician. However, the practice management and practice administration activities for his practice are abysmal, and require daily calls/supervision if you want things to progress. Otherwise, seemingly nothing gets moved forward. I have had to manage them every step of the way.

This Dr. is only interested in the money that u give him to see you. He puts on a good front the 1st time he sees you and always wants to see you and come back at least every 2weeks all the time If he doesn't like what u say to him at any time, he will not let come back. I have had several bad experiences with him and his staff. The 1st one I had to get another pain Dr. to call him personally so I could go back to Dr.Nair. Now I have had another bad experience again. He really is not a real Care

Recommending Dr. Nair to friends and family who suffer with chronic pain because he has helped change my life. I was in severe pain with my back, we tried several things until we came up with the correct plan of care for me. I feel he has worked miracles for me. What a great Dr. I owe him my life. Very compassionate and understands how it feels to be in chronic pain.

9 yrs ago, I went to Dr.Nair when I moved here from out of state. I was in unbearable pain, severely depressed, suffering the side effect of over medicating I had recieved prior. He could have easily snubbed & misjudged me as other doctors had. BUT HE DIDN'T !! He listened to my entire story. He helped me, no, he SAVED MY LIFE. He introduced treatment that I had never been offered. I eventually got my mobility & dignity back without over medication. He truly strives for a better quality of life?

DR Nair has been my pain doctor for several years. He listens well and helps find a answer to my pain. He will recommend another doctor if he can't help you. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a pain doctor. He will not give out oral medication prescription if he thinks you are there just for the meds.
