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.

Review of Dr. Lawrence Nair
The nurse called me back to see the doctor before the scheduled time. This is rare and much appreciated. Very friendly staff. Dr. Nair gave very detailed answers to all of my questions. He was very concerned about my health issues. I highly recommend him.

No information at all. Charged me $200
Dr. Nair charged over $600 to let me know that a heart monitor device was not working and gave literally NO INFORMATION about my heart. I received no information from my heart monitor for which I paid out of pocket $200. Presbyterian insurance and this office did not offer any support, so I paid $200 and have learned nothing about my health. Very disappointed. This is stealing money in my opinion.

I don't feel that he didn't explained procedure very well. What was told to me in the beginning did hold up to the test of time. There is no continuity to his team or the hospital being on the same page. depending who you spoke to to give you a whole different aspect of what was to happen when was supposed to happen and feel like I've been rushed through the process. There is no individualisation. You're just a number to be process. I don't feel like he had a God complex but it intern he wasn't really listening to my concerns.

Dr. Nair is a credible cardiologist/electrophysiologist and I feel blessed that I was able to see him and will now be his patient. He put me at ease, was extremely thorough and explained everything. Dr. Nair was my dad's physician and took excellent care of him until he passed. It is with the utmost respect that I recommend him. I wish I would have seen him sooner but now I know I'm in the best hands and he will provide the best care needed for my cardiac care.

Not at all happy with the service provided by Dr Nair and his office. I needed information regarding stopping my Xaralto for a outpatient procedure. His Physicians Assistant had discussed with me by phone to stop Xaralto 3 to 5 days prior and take a 81mg Aspirin during those days. When I called to ask them to fax that info to my Urologist they would not do so and that it was totally up to the Doctor doing the procedure to decide what to do. This is very disappointing - what a JOKE

Dr. Nair is exceptional. I have a condition that was difficult to diagnose and very atypical. Dr. Nair never gave up on trying to find out what was going on with my body no matter how frustrating it was. He's professional, caring and just an all around great doctor.
