Rajan Nair Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

'My first visit with Dr. Nair was very comfortable

Dr Nair is an extremely thorough doctor that will not take any risks. He puts you thru numerous different screenings that don't cost you any money before he sees you for the consult to prevent you from wasting your money if he wouldn't be able to operate on you. He then orders numerous pre-op tests to make absolutely sure you are low or no risk before giving you a surgery date. His program is just starting and I was the 2nd patient to have the open RNY done. He made me feel safe. After surgery he came by everyday to check on me while I was in the hospital and called multiple times to check on me in between the visits; he always answered any question I had. He even went to my "upper GI" the next morning after surgery with me.His program follows you for 5 years which I think is awesome with the dietician, him and Lori the coordinator watching you . His coordinator Lori is very easy to talk to and stressed that I must call immediately if there were any problems after surgery and has been encouraging and "cheerleading me on" from day one.
I already knew Dr. Nair because he repaired my husband's hernia a few years ago and felt very comfortable with him the whole time and he has a great sense of humor.
This program is brand new so there are a few minor bugs that are being worked out ; like the support group is just starting up and not many people show up for it, and the nurses on the floor that took care of me sometimes had to ask me questions but overall I have had a a very positive experience with Dr. Nair and his team and have felt safe with all of them. They are very open to suggestions and want to make this program successful and asked me many times if there are things they can improve to make their program better. For a new program they are doing a great job.
