TOTALLY GEEKED!

I was referred to her my G.P. for social/ Generalized anxiety disorder. With a twelve year benzo addiction. Her lack of knowledge of neurotransmitters is perplexing. GABA receptors is how valium works. A replacement with ciprolex only words on epinephrine and to some degree, seratonin. Benzos are serious business with possible protracted symptoms that can last over a year, if not done on a very slow taper with the patients own adjustment. Her 48 hr. fee for cancellation amounts to nothing but 'extortion'. Always get a second or even third opinion. Good luck!

I'm not sure she knows how to read at a grade 2 level. I should have just talked to the homeless guy I saw on my way to her office. It is a very scary that she has a licence to help people. I would not trust this person to tie a shoe, let alone help people with their medical needs. What perplexes me the most, is that the governing bodies in Canada have not revoked her liscence. If she's a doctor, then I'm the pope! Stay away...

On one of the rare occasions where she actually wanted to discuss my personal life (she's a psychiatrist), she suggested that I stop dating white women and start dating more Asian women because they "understand their role in a relationship". It seems white women "act like men", and that makes guys like me "forget" how to be in a relationship? And here I thought my relationship problems were more rooted in my inability to trust other people. Silly me. At least she's willing to prescribe the medication I need.

Dr. did not know what dopamine is ..... Just don't know how a person like her can actually practice in Canada. It's time Fraser Health monitors those so called physicians.

What a horrible person. I am quite ill, so went to see Dr. looking for a sympathetic and helpful ear—what a disappointment. She had a student with her on the day that I saw her and she talked very disrespectfully about me to the student as I sat there beside her in dismay ("I'm in the room, hello, I can hear you"). It was very hurtful, certainly not the way a 'healer' should treat someone who is already down in the dumps and vulnerable. I would recommend seeing anyone else, but certainly not this person.

She pushes meds like crazy..every time I go to her she won't listen to me or my problems..she says its not not her problem..only things she does is increases my doze! A pushy pill popper herself. Never going back to her again!

She is in direct violation of the BC Code of Ethics and CMA Code of Ethics and other policies. She has taken a patient (my sister) off her medication and weaning her off other meds WITHOUT EVER ASSESSING THE PATIENT NOR EVEN TELLING HER! This is not exaggerated; we are perplexed why Dr. Thakur would do this without discussing it with anyone. We are purusing legal action. The ramifications have been severe and we worry for the patients life. This Dr. is dangerous!

Very personable. Spent plenty of time talking to me about the details that other doctors have no patience for. Even noticed that I should be getting regular blood test for a prescription; a detail that other doctors appear to have neglected.

I was sent to this lady for an independant medical assesment by a third party company. Obviously, they did not check here. First meeting her whe was rude and scolded me. Went into office she asked her questions, would not show me my file, only listened to part of what she heard then diagnosed me. She suggested my GP give me "strong tranquilizers". I was a zombie, my GP took me off them they were not required at all. She ignored issues and stated that I thought - not that the issues actually happened. I was bullied at work then accused of not doing my job - pretty sure she had this info from the other side and diagnosed me prior to me entering her office. Who was paying her - seems that is who she sets her diagnosis to - not actually. She can diagnose in a 1.5 hour time frame????? She is a pill pusher and very biased. Her diagnosis was based on issues that were resolved over 20 years ago, not on what is happening now. How can she keep her license?

I have seen Dr on and off for a couple of years for problems with depression and mental function. I find her generally unhelpful,  seems to have a very limited sympathetic understanding for common mental health issues and learning disabilities and I believe that it hinders any possible therapeutic process. At times she can be very unprofessional and ignorant as if she needs therapeutic help herself. I basically just use her to get my prescriptions refilled as my visits rarely last over 5 minutes and she has very little interest in hearing my issues. I have given up any hope of her giving me any valid Psychiatric help other than prescriptions and use support forums and self help materials for my needs. In short, Dr Thakur is a burned out pill pusher that has no time for anyone but her friends.
