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.

Was extremely dismissive felt very rushed to the point where I wasn’t finished expressing my concerns as she was walking out the door because of this I had even forgot to ask some important questions I have to find another doctor now as I still have the same ongoing issues

Communication with Patient Appears Optional
I engaged Dr. Thakker's services for a mole check. There was no communication as I was examined. A spot on my leg was marked w/o communicating with me. Had she asked, I would have told her the dark freckle was there since birth & hadn't changed in 60+years. When I asked the difference between a freckle & a mole to learn more, her response was "a lay person wouldn't be able to tell." My master's degree is in research, so I'm sure I raised an eyebrow. She said she would 'try to find something on it.' Without any conversation, she sliced the freckle, left w/o any communication about it, & never closed out our session where I could have asked questions. Her assistant returned with a skin cream marketing brochure with pictures unrelated to my question. Surprise, the biopsy results were benign. Afterwards, I went to a different dermatologist. Not knowing my education & w/o having to ask, in less than 5 mins, I was given medical terms about the moles & where to find more beneficial info.

Horrible experience. Dr. Thakker has no empathy for her patients and is either incompetent or just doesn't care. Mohs is distressed to be a process of taking a layer at a time but like other examples here, she just dug a big hole out of my nose which she is incapable of repairing. My plastic surgeon was horrified at how deep and big the hole was and since I have another BCC on there other side of my nose it should have been done at the same time. But she refused because she's only get paid to do one. Greedy and awful. Going elsewhere for the other side.

Dr Thakker was the most thorough dr i have ever seen. Exam was very detailed. Explained my condition and was very explanatory. Never talked over my head- simply very clear and concise. Then broke down all my options and out of pocket costs. I would highly recommend to any one.

This was a 6 month check/up, for any skin lesions. Dr. Thaler was great on checking my whole body. She is great and very professional. As far as her staff, they are great, with there pleasantries and asking if there is any thing that I would need. What a great office.
