regarding my mother's breast cancer operation. Dr. Nair was absolutely understanding regarding my fears as my 70+ Mom was diabetic and having a weak heart. She assured me that everything will be fine and true to her promise everything turned out smoothly. She is not only an excellent surgeon, but also a down-to-earth person with caring nature towards her patients. Thank you Dr. Nair for being there for us.

Dr Nita Nair is truly exceptional! From the moment, my wife got diagnosed with breast cancer, it was really scary situation for everyone in family. Being fortunate of herself being a doctor & from renowned doctor’s family, all the best treatment options from all over the world were available to her. But she/we finalized to go with Dr. Nair as she was supposed to be best in the business. The moment we landed up at Apollo, Navi Mumbai, India, we all were welcomed, cared for, and made completely at ease, by the supporting staff of Dr Nita Nair. Dr. Nita was terrific, knowledgeable, sensitive, informative… We immediately felt at ease – and felt confident that my wife will be receiving best expert surgical medical care. I especially loved how Dr. Nita really took her time to explain the condition of my wife as well as the available treatment options. The surgery went perfect with no post-operative complications. It’s rare to find a doctor that combines such personal touches and care for a patient as a person with outstanding quality of surgical medical care. My sincere advice to everyone, if you ever face the hard time like us, go for Dr Nita Nair, no second thoughts.

Breast cancer

After coming to know about my mother's breast cancer, who is 77 years old, we were much distressed. However, after meeting Dr. Nita Nair, she explained everything in such a way that made us feel like nothing had happened. Not only is she very kind, but she was also considerate and gave us much of her time to listen even though, she is a thorough professional at her work. She built our confidence to go through the surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Nita Nair as she is an excellent surgeon and is very systematic in her approach. Thank you so much, Dr.Nita Nair, for co operating with us. God bless you.

Patient and kind, explained treatment options clearly
