I have been a patient at Bliss MD since June, I have always felt welcomed and had a positive experience, until now. During my visit today, I witnessed something that left me feeling undervalued as a patient. While Barb was preparing IVs for me the doctor came in and asked her to handle something for him. It was quite a few patients being attended to by Barb who in a calm and polite manner, responded that she would assist him once she finished with the IVs. His response was shocking-he said, “When I ask you to do something, you do it-my business partner comes first!” As a patient paying out of pocket, this comment felt dismissive and unprofessional. It gave the impression that the doctor prioritizes his business relationships over his patients, which is deeply concerning. Patients like myself trust this practice for care and invest our time and money here. To hear that we come second to business partners was disappointing and made me question how patients are truly valued at Bliss MD. Less

Had the best experience with Dr. Thakkar and all of his staff! So happy that I am finally feeling better! Highly recommend!!

Dr. Thakkar is an absolute gem in the medical world, a shining example of what every patient hopes to find in a healthcare professional. His dedication to his patients goes far beyond the routine check-ups; it’s a genuine, heartfelt commitment to their well-being. His exceptional trait lies in the way he tailors programs to ensure they suit each individual’s needs and goals. It’s not just about shedding pounds or hitting a number on the scale; it’s about feeling healthy, strong, and confident. He dives into each client’s journey with a keen interest in their overall well-being, offering guidance, support, and a kind word, which makes a monumental difference. What’s truly exceptional is his personable approach. He doesn’t just treat symptoms; he listens, connects, and empathizes. I’ll never forget when he took the time to understand my family’s health goals. He wasn’t just addressing physical health but the emotional aspect too, knowing how intertwined they are. His genuine concern and continuous support have had an immense impact not just on me but on my entire family. Dr. Thakkar is a beacon of empathy, expertise, and genuine care. He’s not just a doctor; he’s a guide, a supporter, and a partner in the journey towards better health. His dedication is a rarity, and his impact on our lives is immeasurable. Thanks Doc! Less

I went to see Dr. Thakkar this summer. I literally found him by googling "menopause, menopausal weight gain" and figured I would take a chance that someone could finally help me. I had gained a significant amount of weight (mostly belly-fat) over the last 2 years. Kickboxing, group training classes, bootcamp-style fitness, and yoga along with eating right (low-carb, no sugar) didn't seem to make a difference at all. I had also been experiencing extreme exhaustion, lack of energy, and other symptoms that go along with menopause. Frustrated beyond belief by watching the scale keep creeping up, I figured I had nothing to lose my contacting Dr Thakkar and his team to see if they could help. I was impressed by the moment I spoke to the first person on the phone (Julie) who was cheerful and kind, and really listened to me when I told her the reason I as calling. I set up an appointment and did my first visit with Dr Thakkar via zoom. I went to his Chicago city office and met with Nurse Barbara who was equally empathetic and took time to explain and offer me (my choice) of tests that could be run before we figured out a treatment plan. I appreciated that. I never felt like they were trying to "sell" me on anything and I definitely felt like Dr. Thakkar was interested in treating me from the inside-out, not just helping me lose weight. I took a blood-test AND a hormonal saliva test. The results were pretty much what I figured (complete lack of progesterone and testosterone) which were affecting my cortisol levels (low= weight gain) and my slow thyroid and metabolism. I was thrilled to finally talk to someone who wanted to relieve my symptoms of menopause and get my hormones balanced to create more energy and get me back to how I felt in my 30s. I went in for bio-identical hormone pellet treatment and OMG within TWO WEEKS (EXACTLY as he had stated) I felt like a NEW WOMAN!!!! I wasn't lethargic in the morning, I slept peacefully at night and my hot-flashes have sub-sided. I am now going to work with him on his HCG-diet plan to rid myself of this extra weight. I am feeling so optimistic that this is not just a short-term approach to my overall health and well-being. I have loved meeting with Dr Thakkar and Nurse Barbara and cannot say enough great things about the way I have gotten treatment. If you are needing help with menopause symptoms, weight-loss, and interested in feeling youthful again I would not hesitate to get an appt with Dr. Thakkar. I am so happy I did!! Less

The doctor made me a priority, Barbara always listens and shares her advice, and I can't forget my initial introduction with the energetic Tony. The only downfall is I didn't meet the coach until my fourth week into the program. She's amazing, knowledgable and really breaks things down so you understand your body. I really wish I could of shared the toughest couple of weeks with her. Ultimately your weight loss falls on you, but it's been a nice loss of 15 pounds with Bliss. Less
