Dr. Vasanth Kumar Nalam, MD

He is our children's doctor and they love him as well as the staff! They are all very knowledgable and compassionate towards the children. Thanks to y'all for all that you do.

Too harsh. Yes I do understand doctors are supposed to inform you about your weight and whether or not you need to lose any, but you should never make an already insecure teenage girl feel even worse about her weight. Informing the patient is one thing, but continuously making remarks that aren't appropriate is just wrong. I left Dr. Nalaam's office in tears and have never felt my self esteem drop so much.

Dr. Nalam is the most wonderful pediatrician in the area. As first-time parents, we had not thought to look for a pediatrician before the birth of our son. Luckily, Dr. Nalam was the on-staff doc at the hospital. He is incredibly knowledgeable, interested in you and your child(ren), and just an all around nice guy.I am a registered nurse and I am very inquisitive. Dr. Nalam never hesitates to answer any of my questions (and he always does it with a smile).Every time we go for a visit, he has age-appropriate educational literature and advice. The pamphlets/handouts were short and to the point - easy reading for any concerned parent. We knew what to expect at any developmental milestone, and Dr. Nalam is a pro at distinguishing between normal variations and issues of concern. He also ordered labwork for a certain procedure so that we could be absolutely certain of a specific medical issue my son was having.He also seeks to improve the public welfare with formula samples and… suggestions, coupons, and proper vaccines.I will send all of my children to this man for as long as possible. My wife and I have the utmost confidence and respect for Dr. Nalam.

Dr. Nalam is the BEST there is! They don't make them like him anymore. I love that he returns a call to you in a timely manner. He does not diagnose over the phone. If you call his office his nurses to not take it upon themselves to give you advice or talk you out of wanting an appointment. You are granted an appointment and seen the very day you call. Dr. Nalam has a wonderful bedside manner and is very kind and patient. He welcomes all questions from the parents and is probably the best pediactric diagnostition in town. It is nice to know that the pediatrition you chose for your child is the one you will see when your child is sick. Often times with a group you are forced to see someone that you and your child are not familiar with. It is when your child is ill that you want the one you chose. I cannot say enough about Dr. Nalm. I have known him for 35 years and used him for my six children. He is now the pediatrition for my nine grandchildren. I have referred dozens and… dozens of family and friends to his care.

The office staff is RUDE and unprofessional!

Hate is not a good thing...but it's easy to say I hate him. God forgive him for all that he is done.

This man in my opinion is the best pediatrician in Lafayette. He is just wonderful with my child. He is very loving and kind and listens to what you have to say. He is good!
