I have been an internist for almost 20 years, the last three with Duke Primary Care. My areas of interest are preventive medicine, women’s health and diabetes management. While every physician has a different source of love for their job, I believe that the single most significant motivator for me is the ability to see the positive impact I can have on people’s lives. Throughout my practice as an internist, besides providing compassionate care, I have loved being able to foster patient empowerment through education and guidance. I’m a proud mother of two children, one in high school and the other in college. My husband, a cardiologist, motivates me to exercise regularly -- as I often advise my patients. Hiking, traveling, cooking and listening to music are my favorite pastime activities when I am not working. Dr. Thakkar is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Infertility.

I approach my practice as a partnership between me and my patients -- providing them with knowledge to improve and sustain their overall health for acute care, chronic illness and preventative health. I learn as much from them as they do from me. It is an honor and a privilege to take care of patients and their families, and to know they entrust their lives to you. I can't see myself doing anything else. I moved to North Carolina in 1992 from New Jersey, and joined Durham Medical Center in 1995. How fortunate and blessed I am to work with a wonderful group of providers. It was in my seventh grade science class when I realized how much I enjoyed science and all that it entailed. I have always been a people person and like to say I never meet a stranger. So working in medicine has been more than fulfilling. Working at Duke has been remarkable with access to a host of specialist and services for the patients I serve. I am truly humbled to be part of an organization where patients come first!.
