Doctor Tharakan embodies everything a great physician should be. His bedside manner and level of empathy cannot be overstated. He's genuine, warm, patient, and very knowledgeable. I've been a patient of Dr. Tharakan's for three years now, and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of comprehensive care he and the PA/NP here provide. (I've seen everyone!) As an aspiring medical professional myself, I am so thankful for Doctor Tharakan, Monique, and Remini and all of the nurses who work together to make this practice work. (Even Dave at the front desk!)

The visit today was to establish care for my teenage son. I was impressed from the moment I walked in from the pleasant staff at the front desk, to the thoroughness of Dr. Tharakan's nurse, and finally the amazing experience provided by Dr. Tharakan himself. The entire experience was truly great. My son was anxious and Dr. Tharakan was extremely patient and talked him through the exam. Dr. Tharakan was very thorough and I am confident in the care provided. I highly recommend this practice and physician.
