Philosophy of care | I try to put myself in patients’ shoes and understand where they’re coming from. As a surgeon, I mainly deal with head and neck cancer, and I’m mindful of relational matters such as how to give someone a bad diagnosis and help patients make good decisions. I try to give people as much information as possible so they can intelligently and knowledgably weigh options about their care. If we’re talking about surgery, I try to draw diagrams to make the procedure more clear. We’re a multidisciplinary head and neck center, so patients can also talk to a radiation oncologist and medical oncologist and get all their questions answered at one time in a multidisciplinary conference with their family. You need support systems to get through these medical problems. | I am a member of the head and neck cancer and skin and soft tissue cancer multidisciplinary consultation teams. Together we review your diagnostic information and give you a written opinion reflecting the scope of your condition and recommendations for your best course of care. | Why I entered medicine | I spent lot of time with one of my uncles at his clinic in India when I was younger, and got to see him take care of all types patients with all types of illnesses. That was the start of my interest. When I got into medical school, I became fascinated with head and neck anatomy. That led to my becoming a head and neck surgeon. From there I specifically became interested in cancer and trying to make a difference in patients with a bad diagnosis. That’s especially rewarding with the kind of surgeries I do, which require trying to both eradicate disease and maximize head and neck functions such as swallowing and speaking. | Community involvement | I recently moved to the area so have just begun delving into the local community. One thing I’d like to explore is participating in state professional organizations such as the Pennsylvania Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. | Personal interests | I have school-age kids, so I am engaged in their activities on most weekends. Other than spending time with family, I enjoy taking my dog for hikes. I also play tennis, as I have since I was a kid, including in college. I’m a strong believer in trying to work out 30 to 60 minutes a day, whether that means doing cardio or lifting weights. And I’ve been trying to cook more using my smoker. I have to say, that’s still experimental at this point. Dr. Nayak is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Mikulicz Disease.

Philosophy of care | As the first and only physician in my family, I understand the inherent asymmetry of knowledge that exists between a health care provider and their patient. This can cause significant anxiety or stress for a patient, particularly when tackling problems related to their health. I approach you and all my patients with this in mind: making sure to carefully educate you on treatment options and ways to best optimize your health. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because of its human element. A pursuit of scientific knowledge with the marriage of an altruistic need to better the lives of my patients rendered the perfect career: all with the surprise of being my true calling. | Community involvement | Having grown up in the Lehigh Valley, I plan to take a significant role in my community, pursuing higher education and youth centric charities and causes. | Personal interests | I take personal interest in real estate, finance, competitive weightlifting and swimming.

Philosophy of care | Every patient, every time. I treat every patient as I would a beloved family member. It’s what patients expect and deserve: my best anytime and every time. | Why I entered medicine | I studied science in college and was on an internship with a large company when a co-worker got sick. Everything stopped and everyone went to the hospital. When the doctor came out to discuss his condition, that was the only thing in the whole world that mattered to his friends and family. It was also when I realized medicine is the most important application of science – and my calling. | Community involvement | My family and I support our community in various ways. | Personal interests | When not working, I help raise our four children along with my wife – who does all the heavy lifting. We also care for two dogs and like to travel when time allows. Cooking is an occasionally successful hobby and a round of golf every so often keeps me humble.
