    Dr Thrakel is awesome! He always explains his rational for things and cites research and literature to support it, which is very helpful. I have done all of the things he asked me to consider for my situation and feel that this is the reason I am seeing results. A lot of what he asked me to do was new to me: taking Rezzdiffra, Ozempic, doing the Japanese walking, etc.

      I've already told anyone who can't get answers in my area to medical issues to make the 2 hour drive because it's life changing. You listen, compassion, no suffering. Take care of things in days/week versus months.

      Dr. Thakral is the absolute best doc. I know he cares about me and my case because of the effort and time he's put into it. He takes time to break things down, talk about latest research and best practices. Knowing that he took my case to the tumor review board for team feedback means so much to me. It gives me confidence in my care team that I'm sure I could not get somewhere else. I truly cherish Dr. Thakral and am so grateful that Dr. Salama recommended him when he took a fellowship. They both have been incredible sources of support. Can't say enough good things about them.
