Patient Reviews
Jul 17, 2020
I had an Excellent Experience with Dr Thakkar. I have lived my entire life with GI issues and have been to 3 other doctors before finding Dr Thakkar. Shortly after my first visit I knew I was on the right path moving forward. It turns out I needed to have a procedure done which only Dr Thakkar was able to do in the Pittsburgh Area. The procedure was flawless and life changing. I have sent friends and family to see Dr Thakkar and everyone is extremely pleased with their results. I would highly recommend Dr Thakkar.
