Dr. Tharakan was very respectful. He took time with me and my wife. Did not make me feel rushed. He answered our questions appropriately. I feel he took our desires into consideration while making the best decisions for my care. I can not thank him enough for his care. Thing I remember most is his phone call the morning after I was discharged home. He made the call personally himself. My wife says, she remembers asking what she thought were stupid questions and he never made her feel stupid. He was always very gracious.

I walked in after getting an appointment by phone. I did not get direct answers to my questions and I lost confidence. I had to watt for a long time. I am glad I went to a different doctor.
