my leg pain started in October 2022. it was excruciating! I was on vacation in south Louisiana at the time and I thought there was something bad wrong with my legs. I went through muscle relaxers, ibuprofen, tons of bio freeze and icy hot. I was never able to get better. I went to the e.r. in Louisiana thinking there was a blood clot. The Dr's found nothing. The commercial about leg pain kept playing on TV and it was like it was talking to me. I started the journey and here I am now. The heaviness, the pain and the cramping is gone and I'm not even done yet!

Was told I had blockage in my legs more in my right than my left. My PCP requested the records and asked that I get a second opinion. Went to Dr Ridener in Huntsville. Had repeat Doppler studies done on my legs. These scans were completely normal. I would not recommend seeing Dr Naidu.

I started the journey of getting my veins repaired with cardiovascular institute of the shoals in October 2021. I was so ashamed of my legs. I no longer wanted to wear shorts or cute dresses and I was only 34 years old. Besides the appearance I would also sleep on a heating pad every night due to leg pain. I got so much anxiety when we would plan vacations afraid that my legs would not be able to hold up. I knew I had to get something done because it was really starting to interfere with my life. I am so thankful I trusted Doctor Naidu and his staff. They were always so friendly and respectful. I still have some bruising that will take time to heal but I already feel so much more comfortable with myself. I no longer have to sleep on a heating pad and I’m always on the lookout for a new dress. I highly recommend checking them out if your having issues.

Dr. Naidu is and his staff are absolutely amazing. I began seeing Dr. Naidu for my restless aching legs about 7 months ago. Today I can officially say, "New legs New me!" I recommend him if you are having issues with your legs being restless, aching, burning etc.. Thank you Dr. Naidu!

Dr.Naidu and his staff are awesome I went to him about my legs. I had restless legs syndrome as well I had got where it was hard for me to walk I didn’t want to go anywhere. When I went to him he had all the test ran on me and then he fixed both of my legs. I have never been so happy to be able to walk without limping and being in a lot of pain . He is hands down the best and he really cares about his patients him and his staff are the best . I recommend you to come him if your having problems with your legs . I thank God for him and his staff and Blessings to each of them.

Two weeks ago I had stints put into my legs. Before I had the procedure I felt like my legs had 10 pound weights around my ankles. Now I can walk without wearing myself out and I can work 10 hour shift without struggling. I recommend this procedure to any one.

I was a caregiver of my husband for a number of years. Among many of his diseases was poor circulation of legs and diabetes of which he lost both legs. A few months after his death I started having allkind of troublewalking to the point I had to take a walker with me. I heard of this Dr. and I maded appointment. 4 outpatient surgery was performed and I haven't had any more problems. I highly recommend anyone who is suffering from anything concerning your legs make appointment. The staff are so nice. Dr make your visit comfortable

What a awesome Dr with a fantastic staff. Greets you at the door and knows you by name and is genuinely concerned about you and your needs. I had no clue that anything could be done about restless legs and other Drs just mask it with meds. Not with Dr Nadu, he has helped me get sleep without meds and thru the procedures been such a great person. Highly recommend to anyone that needs help. Thank you Dr Nadu and staff

I meet Dr. Naidu when I took a friend to have her legs work on, he took one look at my legs and I had a chart made up and a appointment before I left there.I have not had feelings in my feet and they had so much pain for 15 years. He work on my feet and now I have feelings in my feet all the way to my toes. It's the best thing that could have happened, I was in the right place at the the right time. I just love him and all his staff. Thanks guys.😚😃😊🙄🌝💉💊

I love Dr Naidu! He's not only a great Dr but also a great person. Excellent bed side manner! I had severe leg pain and he ran a few test. After a simple procedure on each leg, I am much better. I am able to walk without pain. The heaviness and discomfort is almost completely gone. Hopefully by the time of my recheck it will be completely gone. Thanks Dr Naidu!

I have suffered for over 3 years with leg and foot pain, after a few test Dr.Naidu found my problem and we're in the process of "fixing" me !! I've had two outpatient surgeries and PTL, what a difference they've made !!
As a retired nurse I have worked with numerous doctors over the past 34 years and I can honestly say that you will not find a more compassionate, caring physician who Listens and is Sincerely interested in his patients as Dr. Naidu is.
The staff of skilled, professional, and compassionate Nurses, Technicians and Office personnel are absolutely wonderful !!
I sincerely recommend anyone who is having leg pain not to wait any longer, there is relief from your pain waiting for you at the Cardiovascular Institute of the Shoals. The only regret you'll have is not seeing Dr.Naidu sooner !!

A very friendly and caring place. Dr Naidu is very passionate about helping people to have better quality of life. There is no need to travel to Huntsville or Birmingham area for care when there is a fine professional doctor here with state of the art equipment. Highly recommend his care. I had vein laser procedure and just in a very short time I can feel a difference.

My legs have been hurting for 10 years, went to Dr. After Dr. And nobody could find anything. Then I see Dr. Naidu for my heart and finally doc finds my veins are not working properly. We commenced to fixing my veins. Everybody told me not to do it cause it wouldn't work, I have 1 more procedure and for the first time in 10 years I have no more leg pain and I can walk to the mailbox without stopping. Lol. Thanks doc for fixing my legs!! And thanks for actually listening to me, instead of having me think it was all in my head. I would definitely recommend getting your legs looked at here.
