      When my father in law was detected with cancer, Dr. Umanath Nayak was not only the best doctor for the treatment, but also an amazing support through the journey. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and my family. Although we had the option to get my father in law treated in Mumbai or the States, we decided to stay in Hyderabad only for of Dr. Nayak. A true gem, he’s definitely the best oncologist in the country. His experience and expertise are simply the best. No doctor is as considerate and caring as him! Thank you Dr Nayak..

      I had a tumour on my thyroid. I visited Dr. Nayak in 2018. I think that I was fortunate to have Dr. Nayak as my consultant. He treated me with utmost care and instilled confidence in me. I again visited last July for my total Thyroidectomy. Since then I am doing quite well. I have never seen such a soft spoken and humble person. I am an outstation patient. He is the most accessible doctor I have ever met. He has been kind enough to answer all my queries whenever I asked him. I wish him all the very best and success in every sphere of life. Pray to God for his good health and prosperity.

      My whole world shattered in last Jan'19 when I was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma by my dentist. The very word sends shivers down my spine and the question that how can I get this? As there was no cause for it. I started searching for good Oncologist.My search for it stopped at Dr.Uma Nath Nayak. I think the word 'WONDERFUL' does not describe him fully as he is much more above it. I thank him from the bottom of my heart to make me feel so much better.I thank the 'Brilliant Surgeon' who makes the difference in the lives of his patients. Everyday of my life is better because of him. Iam exceedingly satisfied with his professionalism and commitment to excellant surgery and care. I am so blessed and grateful to have him.Once again I thank him for making a big and positive difference in my life. Warm Regards, Abha Anand.

      I had a total Laryngectomy done in March 2019 in Gurugram as I had a better family support structure there. I returned to Hyderabad three weeks after surgery and since then have been under the care of Dr. Umanath Nayak. I would not hesitate to rate him as one of the best doctors I have come across. His continued interest and initiative in the welfare of his ex-patients, his proactive approach to post-operative care, the simple solutions he comes up with & his no-nonsense attitude is unique. I would surely recommend him to anyone who has head and neck ailments and possible malignancy. I was also pleasantly surprised at his literary flair.

      The best doctor ever. I had a tumor n I kept it for 5 years as from d day I got it I did not find one doctor who was confident to take it out with out damaging my 7th nerve. I went to 19 doctors in d leading hospitals of d city. It took me just one visit to Dr Umanath to set d date of surgery. I’m scared of hospitals , needles n doctors so it’s a nightmare to hve me as a patient but he was so calm n confident in handling me that I was at ease completely. Your in d best hands ever if u hve a problem trust me n just put your life in his hands u cannot ask for a better doctor. My face is getting back to normal slowly n he did not damage it in any way. Thank u Doctor I trust u completely.

      I recently underwent thyroidectomy under the supervision of Dr. Umanath Nayak and his team. I had an enlared nodule for over 20 years and I was very scared to get it removed. When the nodule size increased to a size, I had no option other that getting it operated. Thats when, I started looking out for seasoned head and neck surgeons. I consulted almost 4 surgeons and seeked their advice. What I liked about Dr. Nayak is that he explained me very clearly how the medical procedure would go on and I kind of got convinced. Instead of removing the entire gland, only a part it was removed and the remaining was left to generate hormones for the rest of my life. I'm glad I got my surgery done by a seasoned, professional and experienced surgeon. Thanks to doctor and his efficient team.
