We talked about my success so far with the current medication, exercise, healthy eating, etc. I asked whether I would be a good candidate to use a GLP-1 drug to take off the remaining weight. Dr. T. Was very helpful in answering my questions about side effects, whether it made sense given that I had already successfully lost weight, or if it would be easy to stop without harm if I didn't like it. She gave me very thorough answers such that I feel I can make and informed decision.

Dr. Takkouche is absolutely the best physician I have ever seen. She makes you feel as if you are the only patient she has. She takes time to listen, make the best decisions for your health and well being, and truly cares about you as a person and patient. I have had many physicians over the years, but she stands out as the very best at her craft. In a world where everyone is in a hurry and rushed, she takes the time to treat you and make sure you leave her office feeling the best you can feel about your visit and treatment. What a great representative of Vanderbilt health care!
