    Dr. Tharayil is an absolutely AMAZING PCP - she is brilliant, listens intently, always spends a lot of time and I trust her implicitly. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    I absolutely love the doctor and her staff. The only one thing that I would probably see if it could be improved is more availability in terms of appointment times. I have my annual physical and it's usually more than one year out. So it would be really nice if I could get it within that year. That's, I think, the only, only challenge that I have. Otherwise, when I visit, I think she is one of the best doctors that I have seen here.

    Dr. Tharayil is incredibly diligent, thorough, caring, empathetic, understanding. She must spend a lot of time preparing for a physical because she knew everything about me. And with her number of patients, it would be hard to know the specifics she encountered without some preparation work.

    She, of course, took time to read my recent history before we met. And, at the conclusion of our session, asked me if I had any questions, which I did. I did not feel rushed, when I asked them. These were questions I had when reading daily reports of my recent hospital stay.

    Dr. Tharayil is a very detailed and concerned doctor. She is very thorough in her reviews of your medical history. It is difficult to get an appointment with her, however. And it seems that she does not respond to test results as quickly as in the past. I see this as a problem in general with all PCPs over the last few years.

She has made a tremendous difference in my life and life expectancy based on her extremely thorough attitude and has been enormously helpful, recommended at least three or four other doctors that I've been to for various situations, and it's all enormously positive. Thank you, Dr. Tharayil.

    Excellent provider- In general, I am VERY impressed with the MD's, Clinical Staa, and office staff at BWH Primary Care in Brookline. My interactions with everyone, including this provider have been clinically and administratively top notch. This MD (virtual visit as my PCP was unavailable to schedule) was clear, helpful, knowledgeable, on target in terms of both evaluation and planning (next steps if needed).
