Dr. Thaker is rude, not professional at all. He started testing the wrong leg and very upset when I brought it to his attention. Said things to me like “you may never make it out of here alive.” Later, he said he made those remarks to relax me. Really? Dr. Thacker should not practice medicine.

Worst Doctor I've ever been too. Didn't listen to any thing I said or wrote on the paperwork. Completely went against my first neurologist diagnosis. I never write bad reviews but this was bad. Stay away if you want a correct diagnosis or someone who cares.

He is very rude, does not listen to the patient ....he does not treat patients just tells everyone in pain to get over it. He should be fired or he needs to resign.

I went to see him for migraines. He was very thorough, and did all kinds of manual tests like looking into my pupils, etc.... ( no MRI's) and found nothing wrong. He spent some time talking to me, and asking questions. I never had migraines before. He attributed the migraines to "stress" from my work. I had been doing the work for years, and thought, well,.....maybe it's compounding? He didn't do anything more for me. I am sure that migraines are difficult to treat, but there wasn't any further testing. It turned out that I was able to solve it myself. I was taking "Seasonelle" birth control pills, and when I stopped taking them, and it got out of my system after 2 months, my problems were gone. I haven't had migraines since. He was a very nice doctor though. Just not sure how effective.
