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.

My husband has gastroparesis, which was caused by the vagus nerve being severed during esophageal surgery. A gastroenterologist is the kind of doctor that’s is suppose to help treat this or at least help you understand what your dealing with. First of all he acted like we were wasting his time, he said, “What do you want me to do about it”. We tried to ask him questions and all he wanted to do was hurry and get us out of there. He was the most disrespectful doctor we have ever seen. Done !

Dr. Thakkar is a very caring and intellegent Dr. We spend our winter months in Fl. and always wait to have my Gastroenteroglogy needs with this wonderful Dr. I did not see him this year as we did not travel to Florida from Illinois. Will see him in 2019 if God willing.

I moved recently to the Naples area and had my most recent colonoscopy/endoscopy there. This reminds me of what my husband said about his insurance clients. Patients who come back are your best patients. I do appreciate Dr. Thakkar and his staff. My most recent experience was OK, but not the same!!

Professional, Knowledgeable, Caring & Concerned, I can go on but they limit response here.
Many times in life we deal with Individuals and or groups of Individuals who Tout their merits, most fall far short of their story. This is not the case here, Combined The Knowledge and Expertise these Physicians posses would fill a library. Their Careful Concerned approach to patient treatment is refreshing in this day and age. Thank You Dr. Thakkar For Allowing me to be your Patient.

Each time I have visited Dr. Thakkars office I have been treated well and in a timely manner. I enjoy conversing casually with the office staff and have had good results from my colonoscopy that were given to me in a timely manner. There should be more practisioners with such a great bedside manner.
