Outstanding Doctor treats you like family and is completely aware of treatment plans while both in the office and out. ie. always reads test results and changes treatments accordingly. Dr. Thacker is aware of other conditions and is in direct contact with other doctors so not other complications exist.

Not only is he a brilliant hepatologist, but he cares so much about me. If I text him once a month or if I text him three times in a week, he responds immediately. He's not afraid to change the dose of my medication if the bloodwork tells him to do so. This guy is a phenomenal Doctor Who took me off the cusp of saying goodbye to this world and so far has bought me at least two extra years.
