Dr. Thakor really listens to my health concerns and asks follow-up questions based on what I say and what I do not say. Her recommendations to improve my well-being are not over the top. She has a wonderful compassion mixed with medical advice that makes me take a serious approach to developing habits that will help me improve my health. I also like that I can talk to her about changes occurring as I age without it being an awkward conversation. In summary, Dr. Thakor is a wonderful doctor!!!

I am very satisfied Thanks
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/2/2026
Dr. Thakor has been my primary care physician for almost 30 years, if not longer, and has always been very cordial. Always tried to address my needs physically, mentally, however I might be feeling on that particular day and why I'm in the office for that day. So we have a relationship beyond doctor almost. And I don't know what I'll do if she leaves. I'm looking for new doctors these days. It's not fun. So hopefully she will stay as long as she can. I really appreciate her and I appreciate her kindness and her time to talk with me about whatever I'm in the office for.

As usual I enjoy my visits with Dr. Thakor.

Been a patient in this office 30+ years. I love(d) all of the doctors and Maleka (PA) has always been personable and patient. Even though I live further away now, I take the drive because this staff still makes me feel like I matter, unlike many healthcare providers today.

Yeah, hi, my visit with Dr. Thakor was very pleasant. She took the time to ask me about my issues and she also reviewed my past blood test results and discussed regarding what I need to do next. And she took the timely action by sending the lab order and the test can order direct to the referral to the advanced radiology in short time. So I'm very, very pleased with Dr. Thakor. Thank you.

I've been a patient of Dr Thakor for years and it's because of the treatment she and Malayka provide that keeps me returning. I've established great rapport with them and know that my concerns will be addressed and I'll receive the care I not only need but deserve.

Dr. Thakor has been my PCP for over twenty years, she knows me like a book. I love her because we have a history we can talk about my most personal conditions.

Dr. Thakor has been my primary care physician for 8 years now. I'm glad she was recommended by my husband and my endocronologist. She's the best. She's very knowledgeable of her practice and her bedside manner is beyond reproach. She takes her time and listens to your concerns . She explains your health in detail and when you leave her office, you feel very confident that you have the right doctor. Wish she could practice forever.

Everyone was absolutely positively polite. I got waited on immediately. The appointment was easy to make. All I did was get a flu shot. That's why you got no to some of the answers because it was not necessary. All I was getting was a flu shot. Thank you. And I got it, and she did nice, quickly, and she was very sweet about it. That's it.

The new call center process is horrible. It is far from patient-friendly. I have no way to connect with my providers who I have a 30 year relationship with, except by portal. Patients with medical issues should be able to speak with medical staff more easily

I've been seeing my provider, Dr. Thakor for a almost 30 years. She has always treated me well and hears me, and takes care of all needs when it comes to my referrals. Everyone that I new from the past to the present date has always treated me with respect and concern. Dr. Thakor and Milaka, I hope I spelled her name correctly, have always treated me very well, and beyond. The office and everyone I see always say hi and are very courteous. I have recommended friends and family to Dr. Thakor. 10 across the board. Thank you, {patient info redacted to protect privacy}

Dr Thakor always makes my appointment an enjoyable and pleasurable experience. She has been my PCP for over 25 years. Even when I'm not feeling well she has a way of cheering me up. She explained my post surgery recovery routine in detail and told me what to expect better than my surgeon was able to do. I love my doctor.

The front desk staff definitely need to be trained or retrained. They are not very professional or friendly and can definitely improve in this area. They do not make eye contact with you when you approach the window nor respond when you say good morning. If they are on the phone, a simple glance and nod to acknowledge you is not too much to ask. I have been seeing my provider for almost 30 years and the front office staff or any other member have always been professional and courteous. It's almost impossible to get through to make an appointment. My provider suggested I make my next appointment before I leave. I was unable to do so because the person that makes the appointment said system was down and she had been calling IT. She complained about this the entire time I was waiting to be seen and even after my appointment was over. It was not necessary for her to voice her frustration so loudly. I have informed my doctor that I'm only still coming to this facility because of her and her assistant. I will definitely look for a new provider and location when she decides to leave.

I am very unhappy with the change in the call center. I have always been able to call to the facility for whatever my needs might be. The call center is not helpful. For this reason, I am considering looking for another facility. Doctors and staff should be approachable. You have developed a very sterile system.
