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.

He is truly caring and thorough in treatment plan
I have been seeing Dr. John Thachil for my cancer treatment, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first appointment, he has been incredibly thorough with all his explanations, ensuring that I understand every aspect of my treatment plan. His friendly and empathetic demeanor have made a challenging time much more manageable. Dr. Thachil truly cares about his patients, and it shows in every interaction. I feel fortunate to have him as my doctor.

Very personable, thourough and patient oriented .
He and his team drew blood to find my problem. Had pathology support to analyze, identify my issue. Dr Thachil communicated the treatment plan best for me.

Dr Thachil is the bomb.
What stood out to me the most about Dr. Thachil was, his genuine concern for my treatment. Information that is given during the visit is concise and easy to understand. My questions were answered without distain or attitude. I highly recommend Dr. J Thachil. A piece of information; I think I shared with Dr. Thachil, my worse mental anguish about having treatment for my conditions is, is knowing that I have these conditions. I wish this was my original statement however the idea came from another entity. So, I have fun spores not the big 'C'.

5 STAR DEFINITELY
Dr. Thachil came to see me while I was at Methodist Hospital with very low blood platelets. He thoroughly explained my problem and the medication that I would be taking to take care of my problem. I then went to his office every week for blood work and for him to monitor the medication. I feel that he is an excellent Doctor !

I will never be able to thank Dr. Thachil for the wonderful care that he gave my wife Karen. His attention to detail and caring demeanor is why she lived 8 years when she was only estimated to live less than 3 when first diagnosed in Ft. Worth. He saw us personally for as long as needed every time we came to the office and also made sure she had the best surgeons when needed. I will forever be indebted to him for the 5 extra wonderful years I had with the love of my life....
