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.

Excellent cardiologist
Dr Nayak has been my Cardiologist for 9 years. He always remembers me and my history. He was part of the cardiac team that saved my life in 2015. His excellent care not only helped keep me kept me alive that day, he also helped me recover to live a normal, active life. He went above and beyond the call on multiple occasions to make sure I was getting the right care for me. I highly recommend him.

We visited over the phone (because I had shingles and was in a lot of pain) and we could see each other which made it seem as if it were an in-person visit. Dr Nayak asked all the questions he wanted and got all the answers he needed as did I so it worked out very well. I like Dr Nayak because he is very professional and at the same time very friendly. and easy to talk to.

My former cardiologist sadly left Virginia, thus, I ended up in Dr. Nayak's office for continued ongoing care, having chosen him carefully based on his expertise and decades-long experience with adult congenital heart concerns. He had been acquainted at some point with all of my cardiac care team providers up until the date I ended up in his office, to include my surgeon from 1975! Dr. Nayak has a lovely, sincere, welcoming, collaborative (yet highly grounded and knowledgeable) manner about him. He takes his time, takes all questions/concerns seriously; responds with succinct, laypersons' language without being patronizing, and made me feel like an important individual (not chart number) as a newly-established patient of his. He explained the rationale and timing for all testing and procedures he ordered. He's a rare-breed consummate medical professional; I'd highly recommended.

I get stress test by sitting on a bench and doing nothing. The machine does it for me. Do not understand if it is accurate. I got out of ER and was instructed to call the office. I dutifully did that when I was given an appointment with a PA? shows a lot of caring I guess
