Dr. Irakam is a wonderful doctor, listens carefully to what we have to say, provides detailed diagnostic results. Consults with us and provides options and state his expert opinion. Very easy to speak to and genuinely take interest in patient’s health. Would always entertain additional questions and willing to answer any follow-up questions even over phone.

I have been a patient of Dr. Irakam for over 20 years, and in that time I have come to know him as one of the most dedicated, caring, and highly skilled doctors I have ever met. He consistently puts his patients first, treating each one with genuine compassion and respect. He always makes himself available whether to answer questions, provide reassurance, or offer support.
