Dr. Takvorian is probably one of the nicest gentlemen that I know. Dr. Tak is definitely one of the most thorough in his handling of the sickness that I have and also of the sickness that my wife had. My wife, although she passed and was a nurse, had only high praise for Dr. Tak, as I do to this day. I have no means, no reason to go anywhere else. Dr. Tak is where it's at.

I've been going to Dr Tak at MGH for nearly 20 years. In some ways we have grown "old" together and have seen things change and evolve at the hospital over this time. Dr Tak has remained the same. However I noticed that the hospital has pulled back on some of the small things that the patients appreciated - water/snack cart, live musicians in the cancer treatment wards, etc.
