Patient Reviews
Jun 18, 2024
Spinal surgery required for 2 serious problems - scheduled and postponed repeatedly. By the time I couldn't delay longer, my surgeon abruptly retired, recommending Dr Nayak. I researched him. He appeared so youthful I worried about his experience. Though sometimes younger drs' higher-level and newer skills can override so I decided to meet with him. At our appt, I came with many questions. More than patient with all my annoying questions, he answered them candidly, explained all my options with implications, and welcomed my considering other surgeons. The best answer was agreeing with my request and expressing confidence doing both procedures in same operation. Prior consultations had drs wanting separate operations months apart - extending my recovery. Dr Nayak's superior surgical skill led to a successful result and a remarkably speedy recovery. I recommend him without reservation. Good feeling - sometimes the person waves me off to instead recommend Dr Nikhil Nayak!
