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.

I’ve been having trouble with my legs for nearly 20 years severe restless legs due to a circulation issue Dr. Naidu corrected the issue by installing two stints and my legs feel great! I would ask that anyone with any issues with circulation see him I guarantee you he can help you!

I have had leg problems for many years and at my age of 67, I thought I would be crippled or in a wheel chair soon.... And then I found Dr Naidu (CVI of The Shoals). After having only 2 of the 5 recommended procedures for my leg problems, I FEEL GREAT!. I can walk for extended periods AGAIN. I can only imagine how I will feel after completing the other 3. Thank you Dr Naidu for giving me back my freedom of mobility. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Naidu for all things CARDIOVASCULAR. James Hank Carter

When I came to Dr Naidu at Northwest Alabama Leg pain center , I worked on my feet all day as a waitress and bussed tables. I have done this for three years and it came to the point where I could not work anymore because my legs hurt so bad. I came and saw Dr Naidu and through conservative treatment and procedures to take care of my venous insufficiency all my problems resolved. I am back at work and loving it. The staff and all the treatment I had were great. I highly recommend this place.

I’ve had issues with leg pain, swelling, and feeling of heaviness for several years. I was seeing a vein specialist In Ga., and still having problems, I found Dr Naidu. With each Procedure I have seen great improvements in my legs and am feeling so much better. I highly recommend Dr Naidu. He listens to every need you have and explains in layman’s terms what he can do to fix the problem. He and his staff are very friendly and caring. Excellent Doctor

I dealt with vein issues, leg pain, swelling, aching, etc for years. After a failed procedure in 2008 with another vein doctor my legs continued to be an issue. I found Dr. Naidu and the Cardiovascular Institute of the Shoals thru Facebook. It took seven procedures to complete both legs. The procedures were quick and painless. I can't thank Dr. Naidu, the nurses and staff enough! If you suffer with leg pain, give them a call today!
