Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Terrible and unprofessional
My experience visit with this doctor was negative. I am addressing his behaviour to ensure better care for everyone..His insulting behavior was even noticed by his nurse who was in the room with us.Also his discriminatory behaviour which was due to the race was not acceptable and it should be reported to Broward Health Hospital who he works for. Our whole visit with him lasted less than 4 minute even I was in back pain and did not provide no prescription nor a radio even I was referred by my primary. I would not recommend this doctor to no one

Not a good neurologist!
Part of being an excellent physician is the ability to listen to patients concerns and be empathetic in ways necessary and make necessary recommendations. He’s lacking in all aspects! I would not recommend going to this guy for any neurological needs. He’s below average.

don't go his office!!!!
He just checked my husband reflexes in a hospital, and he told my husband just old and he has elderly dementia, we have to deal with that... My husband 1 month ago was able to drive home 800 miles without any problem... but something happened with him and since than we do not have any answer about his problem. AVOID this doctor... just awful how was he acting...

Terrible unless you want to go to a Boot Camp if it is okay with you. I will not suggest anyone. Very rude and no respect to patients. I will deal with pain rather go see him.Absolutely Shame for this noble profession. This is not a street profession. Thanks,

After 3 falls, slight memory loss, dizziness, my 94 year old mother saw Dr Thaker. No long waits, he had a VERY relaxed manner, but spent less than 15 minutes with her & did nothing to help before sending her away. After we complained, he asked her to make another appointment that she was expected to pay for! We called another doctor who spent over 30 minutes with her, evaluating, questioning, & teaching her exercises to help with her condition. Shame on Dr Thacker! Absolutely no care!

Workers comp doctor. Given some physical-type tests. Didnt take issue with anything but then told me to go straight back to work the very next day w/ what I’m describing as impossible to work with. Not saying I have anything terrible wrong with me neurologically. But what about difficult symptoms? Workers comp doctors have whole different interest in the matter— their own. But other doctors disagreeing want me resting until symptom-free. So there’s the “lacks compassion part”.

Just don't go. See someone who will actually listen to your problems and address your medical needs. This is not a doctor who I would trust with telling any of my ailments to. He will make you feel quite stupid and dismiss your problems. If you visit a vet and he treated your pet the way this guy treats his patients, you would leave. I took my mother here for a visit and I regret not walking out of this office. The only saving grace is that the nurse and the front desk lady was really nice.

I had a horrendous experience with this 'doctor'. He demonstrates no compassion, professionalism, nor real interest in his patients. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone at anytime. He's a very good example of requiring second opinions after seeing someone like him. Just awful!!!

What a HORRIBLE Experience with this so called doctor! He never introduced himself, just asked "Why was I there?" I have a head injury from a head on collision, he NEVER checked my head just my body and concluded my headaches are from my so called depression?! Told me I didn't need to return! Please Do NOT waste your time!! He does Not listen.

Waited several hours to see this doctor and wasted my time. Told me I had absolutely nothing wrong with my arm even though I showed him that I had ulnar sublaxation issue for over a year. He said to exercise my arm. Really? As if I am not already and trying to find ways to help myself. Very insensitive to my needs and didn't care to refer me to an orthopedic doctor for my condition which I found to be very wrong. I also had requested an MRI and he turned me down for that! Why??? Now I know there

Spends less than 15 min. Does not explain anything. He does not listen or cares to engage with you. I have increased convulsions and asked to be placed on the previous medications and said something about levels. Scheduled me to comeback in 2 weeks. Would not recommend going to this Dr.

Dr. Thakar was very nice and took his time with me. He made me feel comfortable and made me feel as if he cared not to make me feel stressed. He continuously made sure I didn't have anything else to ask him. Good bedside manner.

Worst Doctor I've ever been too! Didn't listen to any thing I said or wrote on the paperwork. Completely went against my first neurologist diagnosis. I don't normally write bad reviews but this was bad. Stay away if you want a correct diagnosis or someone who cares.
