I had nerve replacement surgery in July for a serious injury. My arm is worse then it was before I had no pain just numbness now my hand has constant pressure like someone is squeezing my hand 24/7 i also have horrid shock pains even with the slightest touch of my arm. My hand is losing muscle and strength which I had no idea was going to happen. I have no relief with the medication I'm on and for whatever reason don't do anything about that. It makes me super sad and stressed knowing I'm gonna have this problem for the rest of my life...I have an infant and family and it makes things difficult with constant pain... I wish I NEVER did this surgery. And it looks like a 5 years cut me open every incision is zigzagged and looks HORRIBLE mind you its 3 different incisions.... Hes a really nice guy patient and kind but I'm not sure I'd recommend him and the staff at the office are rude... that is it!

Feb-2022
Throughout my Physician/Patient association with Dr. Tarakji, both he and his staff consistently demonstrated friendliness, patience, knowledge and professionalism. I especially appreciated how Dr. T. always took adequate and sufficient time to answer all my questions, clearly and sufficiently explain anything I didn't quite understand. At the conclusion of each visit, I always felt calmer and never ever left feeling rushed or dissatisfied. On 2/25/22 I would leave having achieved a considerbly better outcome than I anticipated; and I suspect better than Dr. T anticipated as well. We were both quite pleased, and Dr. Tarakji emphasized that I should be sure to contact his office without hesitation should any problems or concerns present.
