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.

Excellent care from Dr. Takle and the medical staff as well as friendliness and helpfulness of office staff.

Dr Takle is terrific, patient, considerate!
Dr Takle takes time in explaining diagnoses and doesn’t just jump into treatment. He listens to the patient, answers questions, and seems to genuinely care.

Excellent as expected...
I accompanied my 89 year old dad who is hard of hearing. The staff were respectful and patient. The two and a half hour visit was thorough. We did not feel rushed through or placed to the side because of the time necessary to complete his tests. Dr. Takle's 'chair side' manner was superb. The only qualm was Dad didn’t think he was the doctor because he pulled up a stool and sat right in front of him said he was used to his doctors sitting behind something (a desk?). The senior Dr. Takle must be a proud father.

I was an out-of-town patient at Spaulding Regional and needed an Opthamologist. Dr. Tackle agreed to see me at his office in Locust Grove late on a Friday afternoon. My visit ran past normal hours and was unscheduled but I was still given a full optic exam and diagnosed with an uncommon condition. The professionalism and courtesy I received from both Dr. Takle and his staff was exceptional.
