Dr Takkouche is very thorough. She asks questions to get to the heart of problems then provides advice on how to address issues. She really delves into overall health issues to determine what can be done to help not only with weight loss but with conditions that affect my weight loss. She gives me her total attention.

Dr. Takkouche is the reason that I have faith in Vanderbilt. Her care and concern for me makes me feel like I am the most important person in her clinic that day. She is thorough and makes sure that all of my health is considered when working with me to help make decisions about my care. She understands that she is part of my health team in making decisions and doesn't attempt to make decisions FOR me. This is the way that care should be provided entity wide. You can try to teach empathy in medical school but that only goes so far. The provider must have that spark inside of them to WANT to connect with other patients in the way that she does. She's not just a 'feel good' doctor either. Yes, I have lost weight due to her involvement in my care, but my health has also benefited from the kindness and caring that comes from her guidance for my health. She is amazing and should be celebrated.
