My review is the result of an insurance issue. When I scheduled my first annual check-up I verified that they took my insurance. I asked again at the appointment to be sure, and gave them my co-pay. I then received the full bill, which I called them about and which the front desk said would take care of and put a note in my file. I just received a letter from collections. I've done the work on my end, but Dr. Talakoub needs to address these basic but fundamental issues of running her business.

My wart cluster remains after 4 treatments (5 minutes each) by Dr. Talakoub, and $1000. I can only imagine the recommendations are by people who either don't pay her cost or by family/friends. I would not recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Talakoub was connected and in tuned with me as a patient... made me feel like I was her only patient.Her medical knowledge for my case was stellar and her bedside manner is second to none.
