I highly recommend #DigestiveSpecialistofHuberHeights!! I have been a Patient of Dr. Thakore's since 2009 and she represents what a Specialist in this Field should be! She is caring and always takes time to answer questions. She's just a great person all around! Awesome Staff as well. Please don't delay your Colonoscopy, your family needs you💖 Thank you Dr. Thakore...see you in 5 years. 🥰🥰

The doctor was rude and talked over me the whole time. Was not concerned with any previous test results I had that contradicted her diagnosis. I sent a message to her through the portal and she called at the end of the day on a Friday and was extremely rude talking over me again while on the phone.

Schedule Your Colonoscopy or GI Procedure Before Year End
If you have met your deductible, now is an excellent time to schedule a GI procedure, including a screening colonoscopy, before the year ends.
Everyone here was great from check in, the nursing team, anesthesia, and Dr. Sherman. Facility was super clean and patient care was fantastic.
