For Physicians

Practical Primary Care – published by Springer Nature (2026)
A new book by Dr. Nair!
Not your typical medical textbook, Practical Primary Care is meant to be more like a thoughtful non-fiction book—engaging, practical, and designed to help you with every patient encounter in some way. This book blends evidence-based strategies with real-world advice to support patients, improve practice efficiency, and rediscover the joy of family medicine.
