Dr. Thakker is very thorough. He solved my health problem. He also found 2 other issues that I didn’t know about. He is an excellent doctor!

I needed to be seen by a GI doctor asap and I have seen other wonderful doctors at ACDH. I was first patient in the morning he came in 45 minutes late. He spent maybe 10 minutes ordered a few blood tests would not recommend any over the counter products. Pushed on my stomach twice never listens for bowel sounds. When he quickly got up to leave I said "Aren't you going to do anything to help me?" and he said maybe when tests come back in 10 days. I found out on the "mychart" the results of tests. I was never called and told results. I'm going to see a different doctor at same practice. No appointments available for 6 weeks This was so disappointing since I had read such good reviews before I saw him. No "we're going to get you feeling better or we'll figure this out". I left in tears. Would not recommend him to anyone.

Had chronic diareaha for alost 2 years and Dr Thakkar was not able to help me. I finally gave up on him to see an osteopath.Prescription drugs are not always the answer sometimes they just lead you to another drug to take care of the side effects of the first one.
