Dr. Rueben Nair

"My experience once again was wonderful . The Doctor is always smiling and seems to really enjoy his profession . For me I am always happy to see him because I know in a short time I will be pain free and that's always a plus . He has been a real Godsend for me ."

"I found Dr. Nair to be very personable and straight forward as to the physical condition of my arthritic knee. I would certainly go back to him for knee treatment or knee replacement surgery as my 78 year old knee continues to deteriorate."

"He listened to my concerns and is helping me get better. I will definitely go back to him."

"Dr. Reuben Nair (pronounced "NI-ER") is a friendly and straightforward expert in knee surgery. He provided a clear explanation of my knee condition resulting from a ski accident—an ACL tear with a folded-over bucket handle torn meniscus. Dr. Nair presented two options for continuing my skiing pursuits: 1) surgical repair of the torn ACL and meniscus or 2) wearing a sports brace and skiing cautiously. The decision was left in my hands, and I chose to proceed with the ACL Reconstruction surgery. The ACL Allograft procedure on Oct 19, 2023, was skillfully performed by the Swift Institute Team led by Reuben Nair. The seamless coordination and teamwork of the Swift Institute's staff during the 50-minute procedure left a lasting impression, akin to being a ball passed effortlessly between members of a winning professional soccer team. Throughout the first week of recovery, I faced challenges. On the day of the operation, with the painkillers fully numbing my left leg, I inadvertently placed too much weight on it, resulting in significant bleeding from the sutured wound holes around the knee cap. The following day, as the effects of the pain medications wore off, I experienced considerable pain, which gradually lessened in the subsequent days. In weeks 2-4, my left leg and knee showed increased strength and flexibility. The transformation from a torn ACL to an allograft reconstruction was remarkable in terms of agility. Under the guidance of PT Bradley G. at Carson Valley Health in Gardnerville, I continue physical therapy twice a week, making steady progress to full “ski-mobility.” As of November 16, 2023, I am thrilled with the outcome, and I now have complete confidence in the performance of both knees for the upcoming 2024-2025 ski season. My sincere gratitude goes to Dr. Reuben Nair and the entire SWIFT team for restoring me to full functionality!"

"Dr. Nair is amazing! He did a lateral release on my right knee and fixed an issue I have had for like 10 years. I'd been to PT for years, gotten PRP, and tried everything else imaginable. His guidance, diagnosis, and willingness to do a somewhat exploratory surgery (i.e. lots of game-day decisions for him to make) was absolutely life changing. Thank you Dr. Nair!"
