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.

Awesome Experience
Great staff, short waits, Dr Nayak is always on time and never makes you feel rushed. Listens to concerns and quickly assesses a plan of treatment.

Dr Nayak saves my life. She is always professional, caring and kind. I was given 2 days to live with severe pneumonia. She has been there for me every step of the way during my healing and still is an amazing Dr.

An immediate family member has been under her care for 5 years and still doesn’t know what their diagnoses is. She is open with the patient about test results and leaves them unsure of what is going on with their treatment. After a hospitalization we have chose to change providers and not continue with her care. She is a pathetic physician that is not supportive of her patients much less giving them any information to get better.

Dr. Nayak's office made me wait for more than an hour for my appointment. She spent less than 10 minutes with me and attempted to prescribe medication without any tests or diagnosis. The office also tried to charge almost $500 for a new patient fee even though I am not a new patient. No other pulmonary physician in my area charges this fee. Beware of undisclosed fees with this doctor. They are now threatening to send my account to collections.

Miscommunication between this doctor and her night nurse almost cost my husband his life. Please take notes of all medications and also what she's telling you because there is no sense of responsibility at all, not to mention that she walked in the very next day pretending it was not her fault. Keep in mind that medical errors is the number 3 cause of death here in the United States.

So far, she is the only doctor to have heard of the research hospital I went to (#1 in the USA) and the condition they diagnosed me with. All other doctors have treated me like I made the whole thing up, even after seeing the report. I was very pleasantly surprised to see her eyes light up and the gears turning in her head when she heard the name of the syndrome (admittedly it is extremely rare.) So, I'm excited to work with this doctor and finally have hope for the future.
