Dr. Nayak has treated some extremely complicated problems caused by a surgery many years ago done by another doctor. Using several techniques, some of which he invented, he was able to improve my conditions where doctors in the US, Europe and Australia had failed to do so. He and his staff are amazing.

I started seeing Dr. Nayak a few years ago and I really appreciated that he tried everything before resorting to surgery- which was actually life changing. The whole process was smooth and easy. Healing, follow-up appointments, and results were fantastic. I cannot recommend him enough. He is a TOP surgeon.

Having my problems, I tried to get some estimates for visit and CT scans and I also sent direct emails asking for help and what should I do, I was getting some responds initially, but then nothing. I tried to get exact number for how much the visit will cost, there was never given answer. I asked for help via email, no response. I would never recommend anyone going to that doctor. I'm still suffering from my disease. He failed to continue working with me. His response is ignorance.

Dr. Nayak is a fantastic Nasal Surgeon. He has given my husband back his life after living with horrible nose bleeds for more than a year we were referred to Dr. Nayak. After 2 surgeries my husband now feels he can resume his life go out in public without the fear of a massive nose bleed. Dr. Nayak took the time to find the problem and to listen to us. We are so very thankful to him and his family for giving of there time so that this wonderful Dr. can help others.
