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.

Outstanding!!!
Dr. Nair took the time to thoroughly explain his diagnosis. He did not recommend surgery which is always a good thing. Very pleasant .

Dr Nair repaired my lower back problem after 30 years of pain. That was 7 years ago and still no pain. Excellent, kind and efficient doctor. Now having neck problems and Dr Nair is the only one I will have correct them. I must travel from Tennessee to Florida for care but will always make that trip. Some have reported he is rude but those reports must be incorrect. He was never rude to me. Quite the opposite....very kind and helpful.

My 91 year old mother came to his office for first followup following neurosurgery He had the MRI report, but because she had not brought the CD he refused to see her. This is quite simply abandonment.

Just saw Dr. Nair , worst experience in my life. He was yelling at me telling me that I'm faking the fact I can't raise my left knee/leg from the seated position. My lower back has been bad for five years and lower for one year, and he says it should clear itself up in a couple weeks?!?! I saw all his bad reviews online and now I know why. This man is horrific. He is a nightmare. Man that was a horrible experience to get chastised and yelled at like a child. Very unprofessional.

I have never met such a rude and disrespectful doctor in my life. This guy would not explain any of his conclusions to me, he actually got angry at me and started raising his voice when I asked questions about his findings. He was extremely unprofessional, left the exam room door open the entire time, so his entire office could hear him yelling. He threatened to kick me out of his office for replying to what he said, because "he wasn't done speaking" you just talk so slowly I thought u were done

The doctor was 2 hours late for my appointment. He has no personality and his suggestion was to live with my pain. He did not offer any medications to help with my pain. Don't bother going it is a waste of time and money

Dr. Nair was supposed to fix my L4-S1 herniated discs & spinal stenosis. When I woke up from surgery I was in the same pain I was in when I went under. He yelled at me and told me I was being ridiculous and I would be fine... After months of trying to find another dr that would see me, I found out there were still large portions of the herniated discs that were still there. Don't waste your time or money on such a horrible person.

I do not have a bad thing to say here. He told me all that I needed to know. His info as to the recovery process was spot on. I am recovering nicely and will be completely recovered I'm sure in maybe a months time, Barring anything unforeseen. This Dr's competency can not be refuted. No doubt why he is/was associated with 11 facilities and won 2 awards. Nothing is perfect. Perhaps office time is at a premium and personal time is a bit short. He did call me back from his personal cell phone once
