Approach to care

Dr. Viswam Nair believes that the best medicine comes from treating a patient's disease in the context of relevant social, cultural and economic circumstances. He practices both data based and practical based medicine to this end. At Sutter, Dr. Nair sees all patients with lung conditions and has nationally recognized expertise in lung cancer screening, evaluation and diagnosis.

Professional highlights

Dr. Nair is a board certified pulmonary and critical care physician.
