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.

My medical concerns were dismissed. I was told they were because I “was old”. I had been with this practice for at least 15 years. I had started to feel like I wasn’t being taken seriously, like I was “less than”. I was really hurt so I decided if it happened again I just wouldn’t return.

Doctor T has been our family physician for several years, and never ceases to amaze us with his vast knowledge of medicine. Regardless of the problem we mention, he is up to speed on it. Honest, positive, and down to earth, we are thoroughly pleased with him and his staff.

Dr.T saw my daughter after an injury from a snowboarding accident wouldn’t heal. She had seen an orthopedist and had PT for many months without recovery. Dr. T recommended a procedure, PRP. His treatment and chair side manor was excellent. My daughter is finished with PT and almost completely recovered. I would highly recommend Dr.T to anyone with soft tissue sports injuries

Dr. Thekkekandam is the biggest pill pusher I've ever encountered. Blood Pressure 134/82? You need to be on a prescription! Cholesterol at 200 and Triglycerides at 185? You need another prescription! A1C is 5.9 the last two visits? You have diabeetus and need yet another prescription. Your chest burning after a morning jog in February? You have COPD. He is always looking for the slightest variance to prescribe another pill. Being personable & outgoing isn't enough to make a good doctor.
