Care Philosophy

‘I believe in partnering with my patients to obtain a diagnosis and develop an individualized medical or surgical treatment plan.”

Background

Dr. Thakkar joined Century ENT to practice General Otolaryngology over 10 years ago. Over time he found a special interest in treating adult patients and furthered his training by completing a fellowship in Head and Neck Oncology and Reconstructive Surgery at Northwestern Univeristy. This training has allowed him to extend university-level care to the southwest suburbs and is one of the leading head and neck oncologists in the Chicagoland area. His patient-centered philosophy makes top-level care accessible to you.
