Dr. Tharakan was so caring took the time to actually view my medical records that i took in for him to evalyate me. He said he would help me find the specialist such as a neurologist that takes medicaid to see me just as a follow up on my diasbility. i felt cared for i will recommend Dr. Tarakan to whom needs an understanding
and caring Doctor.

I just want to mention that for a ladies annual visit - this was the most comfortable exam I've ever had. Which is not something you are likely to hear someone say. No discomfort at all.
Very polite. Listen to all I had to say. Make some good recommendations regarding my health. Pleasant surrounding, friendly staff. Very professional.

Excellent understanding doctor who genuinely listens to your concerns without judgement or prejudice. Spends time with you to fully understand your issues - doesn't overbook or rush you out the door.

I took my son to see Dr. Tharakan for a spine disorder that he has. The doc was great, very thorough and wait time was very short. Unfortunatly, his front desk was very unprofessional spouting out all of our insurance information including my husbands social in the waiting room. In addition to this, it has been 2 months and we are still waiting for the referral to another doctor. My son had bloodwork done and I have yet to hear back about the results. I have called numerous times to only get an answering machine and knowone will return my call. This is very frustrating as I have called so much and I work in the medical field myself and would NEVER allow my staff to treat my patients in this manner. Not to mention that they have been paid from our insurance company. It's very sad that the doctor was great but due to his staff I will never return nor will I refer anyone to this practice. My next step is to call my insurance company in hopes that maybe they can get them to call me back! Disgusted!!!
