I've been seeing Dr. Velu Nair for my blood pressure and general check-ups for nearly eight years now. He remembers details from my last visit without always checking the file, which I appreciate. The clinic can get busy, and sometimes you wait a bit, but once you're in with him, he gives you his full attention. He doesn't rush to change medications; he believes in what's working. That consistency is hard to find.

Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to Dr. Nair. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Explained the results in plain language. The treatment plan was straightforward and it worked. No fuss, no unnecessary procedures. Parking at Apollo was full that day, but the consultation itself was worth the hassle.

After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other doctors, my wife insisted I see Dr. Velu Nair. What a difference! He connected dots others missed. Started a new treatment, and within weeks, my energy was back. I'm so glad we went to him. The man knows his stuff, and he actually fixes the problem!
