Everything was great by all staff members and doctors.
Dr. Nair was able to quickly schedule surgery for an umbilical hernia.
He was efficient & quick. I knew surgery was my only option when I set up the appointment. I just wanted it done soon. It was & I'm well on the road to recovery. Thank you, Dr. Nair.
Everyone in Dr. Nair office was great. They treated me with great care & concern.
They made me feel comfortable with the next steps.
The reception at the desk was very pleasant. This set the stage for everything else being so positive. The dr. and nurse were genuinely concerned for my wellbeing.
Great experience because of the way I was treated as a person.
Excellent surgeon Dr. Nair.
Excellent!!!
Dr. Nair is a super star! He is an excellent surgeon and is a genuinely warm clinician - we are grateful for his excellent skills and kind care.
Provider was a little too eager for surgical solution. Primary care physician prevailed in the nick of time.
Dr. Nair is excellent! Dr. Nair took the time to explain all the aspects of the procedure; Including to make sure I understood & knew what the root cause was! Great doctor/professional!!
excellent
Great.
Quite pleasant and satisfying.
Dr. is fantastic! Showed respect & care. Followed up with me several times.
It went very well. He explained everything I wanted to know.
Dr Nair was excellent. I saw him before the surgery and he explained what was going to be done. If I had to do it again, I could not hope for anyone better than he.
Very pleased with the visit & this doctor. Very thorough, compassionate, easy to relate. This visit was for a follow-up of surgery done by this doctor. There was nowhere to indicate "follow up" in your questions.
Good experience, nice and honest.
