My father was a patient of Dr Thukkaran for many years before he passed. I couldn’t had done it without her!! She’s on amazing Dr. she would even get concerned about me being stressed and to take of myself.. I would definitely see Dr Thukkaran as my primary if I had to change my primary. I actually miss her .
