Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I received great care, knowledgeable answers, and compassionate service.

Dr Thekdi was excellent. It was clear he had read my pre-check in information as well as the history taken by the nurse. He asked great questions. The examination was fascinating (I was able to view the images from the scope and see my vocal cords etc on the monitor) and Dr. Thekdi answered my questions about various features. His explanation of what he was seeing was clear and concise, and his evaluation and recommendation of the overall condition was also very clear. In addition, Dr Thekdi offered the option of voice therapy if in the future I decide I need it to improve the dysphonia that I have experienced. Dr Thekdi also offered advice on how to proceed to identify the root cause of the issue. I highly recommend Dr. Thekdi.

My experience was excellent. Dr. Thekdi and the audiologist were very professional as well as kind and thoughtful. It made the procedure less difficult than when I had it a couple of years ago with another doctor. I felt very cared for and not fearful. I am to return for another visit in 6 weeks and feel confident that they can help me get well!

Dr. Thekdi is wonderful. He is very friendly and personable. Also, he works efficiently without compromising the quality of the time he spent explaining my condition and the treatment option. He discussed the proposed treatment, as well as the risks and benefits of it, and answered all of my follow-up questions. I never felt rushed or judged which is something I value immensely.
