Dr. Tadkal is a consumate physician with a thorough knowledge of the various health issues one might be going through and new treatments now available. He is an avid listener and provides solutions in simple terms with patient wellness as the goal. His sense of humor puts his patients at ease which makes for good patient-doctor rapport and open communication. Although my wife and I were visiting him for the first time, it felt like we had been seeing him for years! We unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Tadkal.

I always have a great experience at this office. My PCP is very involved with what concerns I have and attentive to what I have to say.
April 2, 2024Estrella E.Verified patient
I waited for the doctor in the waiting room about 45 minutes after my scheduled time which I arrived early for. Though the doctor does seem to be listening he put in his notes that we spoke of certain things and we did not discuss them during the visit. For example it says we discussed my weight and diet and we did not. We also did not discuss why I am over weight it just says in his notes that it’s because of too many calories and that couldn’t be futher from the truth. Other than his notes saying we discussed a few items we did not. This doctor is not horrible.
