I am deeply grateful to Dr. Tashakkor for his outstanding care and expertise. He quickly identified my heart blockages, explained everything clearly and compassionately, and took immediate action to organize my CABG surgery without delay. His attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine concern for my well-being gave me tremendous peace of mind during a very stressful time. Thanks to his skill and dedication, I feel healthier and more confident about my future. I cannot recommend Dr. Tashakkor highly enough.

Took time to answer all my questions, gave me information and a referral that led to my eventual diagnosis with POTS, reassured me that my heart was healthy, and told me that I should never do poppers again because I almost certainly have POTS and mixing vasodilators with that condition is a bad idea. 10/10 no notes

I am a former registered nurse, and in the medical business for many years. Dr. Tashakor listened intently, ordered tests right away, and explained what was happening with me. I was very happy to have met him, and impressed with his understanding. Wow-best doctor visit ever-very kind:)

Wow! My experience with this doctor was he was extremely arrogant. I have seen many doctors in my lifetime, but I felt I was right up there among whom would consider the most arrogant doctors I have met. My experience was also him dismissing my reported and relevant symptoms that seemed inconvenient for him. When I tried to express any symptom that seemed inconvenient for him, he would cut me off before I could even complete the first sentence. When I use the word inconvenient, I am referring to anything that requires the need to actually think rather than just regurgitate textbook material learnt in medical school. Unfortunately, as many know all too well, some illnesses are not simple to treat or are uncommon. If you have the misfortune of having one of these illnesses, it is so important to find a specialist that will actually at least TRY to understand your medical condition rather than just try to lump you into some convenient box to make their job easier. When I reported symptoms I felt I was being responded to in a manner than implied that I could not possibly be experiencing the symptoms I was reported. I was also encouraged to remain on a medication that I mentioned I was having severe reaction to.
