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.

As always, Dr. Thacker was professional, encouraging, thorough in his exam. He listened to my questions, answering all of them. Although efficient during my appointment, wasn't in a hurry. He was clear that he will continue to be on my medical team but in a supportive role. He will review my future mammograms & stay intouch with my medical team. I feel very listened to, taken care of, respected. Dr. Thacker also assured me he is there for any future questions or concerns.

The most caring Doctor I have ever had.
Dr. Thaker looks you in the eye when you are talking and is so interested in what you are saying. He is never in a rush, he is a great listener and I feel like he only has my health on his mind when I have an appointment. He is never distracted or trying to rush me out to get to the next patient. Last time i was in, I asked him how he got into this field and he told me the whole story. I'm so lucky to be one of his patients.

Dr. Thaker is by far the best doctor I have ever encountered. He is bright, knowledgeable, thorough, caring and compassionate. He explained to us exactly what is happening in the body and what he plans to do to eradicate the cancer. With each test that is performed I do not feel at ease until Dr. Thaker has gone over the results with me. Even though my Oncologist is in control of my care, my confidence is in Dr. Thaker. If you are in need of a Radiologist, Dr. Thaker is your man. He is the best in the business! He considers his patients as part of the family!
