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.

This is NOT about mr Nair as MD, I can't speak to that from a 6 minute meeting. This is about the extremely dumb and arrogant "lady" handling new patients. I'm making $2M/yr and have the best insurance you can think of (100% coverage, no deductible whatsoever) but she just lacked the brain capacity to understand anything outside her small scope. Pathetic, not really interested in patients but only their own commission to collect a few pennies. Lost a client today, but I doubt they care...

Dr. Nair started treating me when I was admitted to Mercy Hospital for Heart Failure. I am 58 years old and this was my first hospital admission. I was in bad shape and did not think I would leave that hospital alive. Dr. Nair treated me and put me at ease with a positive attitude and a work ethic that I had never seen before. This man cares and will do everything possible in order to get you back in good health.

I would definitely recommend Dr NAIR . He is the best at caring for his patients . He will sit and explain everything even if it takes telling you a couple times until you understand . His office girls in the back are wonderful! They take time to know you and treat you very nice either on the phone or in person... Great staff!
