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.

Misdiagnosed
Dr. Taki actually had a pleasant bedside manner and was attentive post op. He did a Septorhinoplasty on me and other procedures. I was extremely satisfied with those procedures, but they did not fix the problem. When i continued to complain, Dr. Taki recommended a book to me and suggested I was 'psychosomatic.' He diagnosed me with TMJ. I actually stopped going to him for the follow ups I was supposed to go to. The real problem was just found: CVID: Common Variable Immunodeficiency. When I was referred to him it was for 'eustachian tube dysfunction.' Not only did I truly need antibiotics, I need IVIG. I do not have TMJ as he diagnosed me with, though it is on my record forever. In fact, I had my wisdom teeth removed due to infection. I would hope that all ENT providers would familiarize themselves with chronic infection and immunodeficiency.?

Said I was fine, ignored my symptoms
Dr. Taki was very brief. In spite of the symptoms I reported, he didn't even look in my nose. He told me I was fine and didn't offer any further help, other than basic home care I was already doing. I am still suffering with my symptoms and looking for an appointment with another ENT. I would not recommend him.
