After the original confusion of the Saturday appointment where I left because the office was closed, Dr Thaker called and apologized, I returned and the visit was professional and thorough, I will return to him in spite of the rough beginning,
October 24, 2015Kenneth H.Verified patient
I had my first visit with Dr. Thakar today. Unlike many physicians, he did NOT treat me like a number and actually spent time with me. He actually reviewed my records before we met with him so we were able to address my current issues (and there were a few). We went threw the issues "one by one" and offering me solutions in terms I could understand.
Finally, he asked me if there is anything else he could help with or if I needed any clarification. He didn't just do the minimum and walk away but he helped me with everything I asked and needed. I would use him again.
November 4, 2015Ian B.Verified patient
My visit to Dr. Thakar was a pleasant experience.
He took his time to listen to my foot problems, and gave me alternatives on how to proceed.
August 12, 2015Elena B.Verified patient
Horrible experience. My foot was broken but instead of taking an x-ray he gave me a cortizone shot. Never have I been in so much pain.

Very nice doctor. Explains things in plain language. However, he was quite expensive in relation to the services that he provided.
May 20, 2015Felice M.Verified patient
Left Drs office and got a pedi in the same strip mall.
Offer is worthwhile however it is only a nail trim and a diagnostic consultation that did not include any skin removal or smoothing

I highly recommend Dr. Thakar to everyone.
The visit was very successful. Dr. Thakar himself came to the door to greet me and walk me in to the checkup room. He was very polite and extremely thorough. He listened to all of my questions and concerns and took his time and explained every possible solution. He not only explained using diagrams, pictures but a plastic skeleton. It was very helpful.
He was even playful towards my young daughter who came with me.
When it was all done he still asked if I had any concerns or questions and mentioned that I can always call back.
March 10, 2015Rabia M.Verified patient
Not much waiting time,
Nice guy,
Very professional,
Takes enough time and does not rush you through,
Explains everything so that you actually understand what is goin on with your foot and what the issue is,
I will def go back whenever I need a podiatrist! 5 stars!

He walked me through the issues and what he was going to do. I was allowed to ask questions and his answers were very insightful. I was overall very satisfied.

I was about 20 minutes early - but was called in almost immediately. Dr Thakar was great.. he was friendly and answered all the questions I asked. I used to go to a dr out west, but the receptionist was rude so I decided to use Zocdoc to find a new doctor. The scheduling process couldn't have been easier.
