I highly recommend Dr. Tarakji, it is always a pleasure being treated by Dr. Tarakji . I have been going to him many years my mother was also a patient of his. She was extremely fond of him as I am, his demeanor is calm which always puts one at ease. His soft spoken demeanor and genuine compassion is very evident. Quite rare these days. He is not only brilliant but he’s very thorough
He listens carefully and then proceeds to explain every aspect of one’s issue. Very reassuring. I’m grateful to be under his care.
