Mrs. Naik, 
  I was so sorry to hear about Dr Naik. He was a great doctor and I enjoyed working with he and Dr. West all those years. I know he will be missed by so many people.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers! Margie Daniel

Dear Hema and Madvi , You were so blessed to have him so long. I feel like he made Bob and me a part of your family. He took care of my father, mother and Bob and me. I trusted his opinion and we valued his friendship. A man I will always celebrate and remember.

He loved his sweets and always shared with Katie. He was her "candy
man".

Thank you, Dr. Naik, for the excellent care you provided to my father, John Hadden, and to me. We always felt a sense of relief when you walked in because we knew we were in good hands.  Thank you for your kindness, humility, and sense of humor. Prayers for your family in this hour of loss. You brought a richness to our community and raised up an excellent daughter/physician as well.

So sorry for your loss.  I was a patient of Dr Naik for many years.  He was an excellent surgeon and I always felt his advice was the best!  I will never forget the care I received. 
At my last office visit,  I was thanking
Dr Naik for all his care through the years and telling him he was my hero. He patted my shoulder and gave me a genuine smile.
That is the way I will always remember my favorite doctor!
Prayers for the family.

I am sorry for the loss of this wonderful surgeon.  He saved many lives in this community. My prayers are with his family.

Dr. Naik was a special doctor and friend. I had the privilege of knowing him many years. We battled many times on the tennis courts. His favorite words were, "Fight Naik!"
Whenever a family member was ill or in the hospital, he would always be there for us.
I will miss him.
My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

What an incredible man! When I came out of surgery residency in 2015, I was well trained. However, as most people know, any time you start a new job, it helps to have a mentor who can guide and provide encouragement. I was very fortunate to have Dr. Naik and my Uncle Paul scrub cases with me those first couple of years of my career. There was nothing that Dr. Naik had not seen throughout his vast experience, and he was my biggest cheerleader during surgery.  He also taught me a lot about life and dealing with the complications that are bound to happen in medicine. I’ll never forget him telling me, “A surgeon without complications isn’t doing any surgeries.” I place this man on the highest pedestal and will miss him dearly, as will our entire community. Thanks for everything Dr. Naik! 🙏🏻

Wonderful surgeon. He taught me alot as new nurse. Praying for his family.  I will always remember his path reports of interesting finds that he said he was going to publish. He will be greatly missed

This makes me sad!! He was one of the best with knowledge, skill and bed side manner!!!  He made such a difference in many lives!!!

This is Myra Wyatt.  You have my sympathy in your loss. I worked many years at the Cancer Clinic and Dr  Naik taught me so much.  He was an excellent surgeon and I saw first hand that his peers looked to him for guidance.  Most of all he was genuine and not a prima Donna.

Dr. Naik saved my life! So thankful for him and his precious family. Prayers for peace. What a life he lived and blessed so many. ❤️❤️🙏🏼

I always appreciated how kind and understanding Dr. Naik was of my Dad, Dr. Turner.  They had a very strong bond, both professionally and as friends.  Both of my parents loved Dr. Naik and his family.  Condolences and prayers to friends and family.

Hema and family
I have so much respect for Madhav. He was a wonderful doctor, Bridge player, and person. He had the such a contagious smile. So sorry for your loss.

Dr. Naik,  he took care of my mother after colon surgery with a colostomy.  He brought it out for us to touch the colon to be aware of cancer.  He saved her life.  He was patient and kind.  🙏🏻

Dr Naik was a hero to my family!  He operated on my father in 1990 (give or take, can’t remember for sure).  My daddy had some breathing issues under anesthesia and Dr Naik convinced him to stop smoking!  Daddy went cold turkey while in the hospital and never picked up another cigarette!   He lived a long happy life after that.  
I am so sorry for your loss but I am so thankful for his life!

What an exceptional physician he was! He provided great care for me as well as my mother in law when she had cancer. I am now a patient of his daughter, Madhavi, who is also an excellent provider. My prayers are with her and the rest of the Naik family. 🙏❤️

I had never met Dr. Naik but he was called in around11:30 at night to perform emergency surgery on me.  Things got a little complicated but Dr. Naik took extremely good care of me. He even met with and   chastised the doctor who had previously looked at my situation and had not recommended surgery.  Dr. Naik actually chastised his fellow surgeon in my presence.  I was stunned.  It spoke volumes to me about the man/surgeon Dr. Naik was.  We lost a great one.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Dr. Naik was always so nice to everyone! Our prayers are with the family!

Dr. Naik was such a kind, caring, smart who was my Dr. for several years. He found  a lump in my breast and treated me, then sent me to Emory!  He saved my life!  I am so sorry to hear of his passing, but what a legacy he leaves behind of love!  He will be missed by a multitude of people!  Thank you Dr. Naik!  Prayers for all the family!

I am so sorry to hear this news. I lived Dr. Naik. He was so kind and funny and made his nursing students feel welcomed. My favorite memory was the time he received a new device in the OR. His comment was “oh no, this is too powerful for me!” Peace be with you all during this difficult time.
