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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Thambi?
I was referred to Dr. Thambi by my regular ENT who could not handle my issue. Dr. Thambi did a thorough examination and pinpointed my problem. She took her time with me and made sure all my questions were answered. She performed surgery and removed the thyroglossal duct cysts and the results were amazing. Two weeks post operation I am back to normal and my allergy issues are gone.
