Reviews
Mr Taktak is an excellent doctor, friendly, approachable and always explains things clearly a credit to both the hospital and his profession.
Very kind words and thank you for taking the time to write up
Mr Taktak had a calm, personable manner. He was knowledgeable and thorough in his diagnosis offering advice and suggestions on different types of interventions with a belt and braces approach, which gave the patient confidence and a good result. I would recommend Mr Taktak to any prospective patient.
Thank you for your kind feedback and taking the time to
I cannot recommend Dr. Tak Tak highly enough. From my very first appointment, he listened with genuine empathy, understood all of my concerns, and took the time to get to the root cause of my recurring infections rather than just treating the symptoms. After being discharged by the NHS, I felt that my treatment had come to an end without anyone fully investigating why my infections kept returning. Choosing Dr. Tak Tak was one of the best decisions I have made. He took my concerns seriously, thoroughly investigated my condition, and provided a clear plan that has finally given me hope and relief. Dr. Tak Tak is incredibly professional, precise, and organised. Everything ran on time, and every step of my treatment was explained clearly, which made me feel reassured throughout the process. One thing that really stood out was my surgery experience. I have always suffered from severe sickness and nausea after surgery, but this time I felt absolutely fine and didn’t experience any nausea at all. It made such a difference to my recovery. Everything about my experience was exceptional, and I am so grateful for the care, expertise, and compassion Dr. Tak Tak has shown me. Thank you for helping me when I felt like I had run out of options.
Thank you for taking the time out to write this kind review, and very pleased you have had a good outcome. All the best
Excellent diagnostic work up and communication with swift service. Got to the cause of my symptoms and diagnosis after many years of difficulty thank you
Thank you for your kind feedback and all the best
Very professional and delivered knowledge with care
Thank you for your kind review.
First rate service experienced over past 18 months by the NHS and Mr Taktak. Prompt initial investigation of my urology issue initially followed by effective treatment and monitoring subsequently. Appreciated being able to have sessions at Macclesfield which limited the distance travelled.
Thank you for your detailed and kind review, all the best.
