I have 3 compressed vertebrae after jolting horseback rides. The spine specialist at a well-known DC practice diagnosed, gave me meds and basically blew off my questions about exercise and other treatment options. Dr. Thakral wasShow more the opposite. He is kind, patient and took all the time I needed to discuss the diagnosis and treatment possibilities. He is just what a doctor should be and the sort you rarely find in this world of rushed 15-minute appointments. Thank you so much for giving me hope and choices.

Katherine Y. • April 12, 2025

Dr. Thakral was extremely kind and gentle. He explained my situation in language that I could understand and gave me sound and knowledgeable advice. The practice is friendly and professional and he is a skilled practitioner. I’d dShow moreefinitely recommend Dr. Thakral.
