Patient Reviews
Jul 03, 2023
Dr Talhouk and his staff (specifically Fran) were very supportive, responsive, empathetic and informative. I ended up with a consult, scan and, ultimately, an outpatient surgical procedure in the office. He explained my options and talked them through with me. Made me feel comfortable and even cracked a few jokes to keep me calm. Very responsive to my questions/messages and didn’t dismiss my concerns. Also very accommodating with scheduling appointments and get me into the office in a timely fashion when other doctors couldn’t/wouldn’t. I’d recommend him! I also like BMG with their my chart system and user friendly check-in and payment processes.
