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.

The Best!
Dr Nayak led team of ENT, Oncology, and Radiology to come up with my best treatment plan thoroughly reviewing the what and why of best alternatives. He was there for my first surgery - wasn’t expecting that. Throughout all my treatments and follow ups he and his PA Bryce Ambron have been there for me - ALWAYS available. I could not have asked for better treatment and support - anywhere!

Lucky!
To be blessed by God by unexpectedly putting myself in the capable and firm hands of a dedicated doctor, a professional of conviction, Dr. Chetan Nayak, who with patience, skill and experience took care of a delicate and complex surgery, with a diagnosis of cancer (gland salivary), that with subsequent treatments and therapies in collaboration with other doctors, I have been recovering and maintaining my physical and mental well-being, my hopes and optimism, and seeing my children grow; and it is the goal of Dr. Nayak. My eternal admiration and total gratitude.

Dr. Nayak was friendly and very knowledgeable. I've been struggling with post-op issues for almost 2 years, but my surgeon has yet to deal with the complications. During my appointment, Dr. Nayak called up my surgeon's office. When they put him on a long hold, he said, "They're doing this so I hang up, but I could do this all day!" (it was obvious he's very patient). I've seen 7+ doctors for this issue in the last 6 months, but he was the first to get me an appt. with my original surgeon.

I was referred to Dr. Nayak by my primary doctor. I found him to be direct and informative. He advised me thru my diagnosis of Bcell Lymphoma and operated on my neck removing one of the large affected lymph nodes and sending it to the pathologist to determine which one (of 18 types) of the types I have so it can be treated correctly.

Dr. Nayak is the most professional, efficient, effective, and sensitive physician I have ever encountered. His manner is pleasant and direct. He is clearly extremely knowledgeable in his field. In brief, I went for my first consultation and, following a physical examination he recognized the severity of my condition. A CAT scan was set up THAT DAY, a biopsy within a week, and the diagnosis shortly after that. The 'bad' news was delivered in a truly direct and sensitive way. A truly GREAT doctor

I went to see Dr. Nayak for a mass (tumor) in my nasal cavity. I had a biopsy on Dec. 26th 2017. I am awaiting results. He was kind, and a good listener, and even took the time to rearrange his operating schedule, to accommodate me, since he was concerned with what he saw. No wait time on the first visit, and he did not rush me with any questions. I would definitely recommend him. I am praying it is Benign. I also Just found out I may need surgery for Parathyroid,Thanks, Janice Bunnell

I had the pleasure of meeting- and being treated by Dr Nayak, while he practiced at the Miami VA Hospital. Dr. Nayak is awesome in the care and attention he gives to every patient, whether the medical issue you have is large or small. You will have a hard time finding a Doc more caring than him. Allentown, PA: my loss-- your gain! Congratulations!

So blessed that we found Dr Nayak.! Cannot say enough about him. He cares, he took his time, he answered all of our questions. Always had my husband's best interests at heart and even though his nosebleeds put his office appointments way behind, we never felt rushed. Office staff is great, too.
