Holistic Healing Heart Center: Dr. Cynthia Thaik

This cardiologist is an excellent cardiologist. I think however her office sometimes is disorganized and her staff sometimes are rude. The doctor can be very overbearing and needs to improve her listening skills. Overall, she does care about her patients, I think she just needs some work in her communication skills. She certainly knows what she’s doing.

Dr. Thaik has been my cardiologist for 5 years. She cares about your heart, your health, and how to get the most out of life by keeping heart-​healthy. Her staff and associates are courteous and I can absolutely recommend her!

This Doctor is amazing, she genuinely cares for her patients. I feel very lucky to have found her!

I think Dr Cynthia is spot on with her diagnosis of my heart condition. The staff was very nice and I did not wait like other Dr offices. I went to the Valencia office, wish she was there more days but understand can’t be in two places at once.

Wonderful approach. I feel healthier just starting to work with this office. It is all about making lifestyle and nutrition improvements as opposed to just treating symptoms.
Really nice people.

Cutting edge Harvard trained cardiologist and author who integrates holistic approaches in her practice. Went in for a routine physical — best doctor’s appointment I have ever had! Dr. Thaik is kind, wise, and an excellent doctor. Would recommend to anyone with heart issues.

Dr. Thaik lived up to all the wonderful reviews I read about her before my first visit. She listened intently to my health history and concerns, and was very thorough in answering my questions and sharing her ideas on ways I can improve my health. Most impressive was that she wasn’t only concerned about my cardiovascular health, but also about my holistic (in particular my spiritual) well being. She shared her conviction about how these are interrelated. Dr. Thaik performed the diagnostic testing I needed and reviewed the results with me immediately afterward. What a relief to not have to anxiously await the test results! Each staff member I encountered during my visit was extremely courteous and professional. Definitely a 5-​star experience in every way.

I saw Dr. Thaik a few months back as I was having palpitations. I was impressed with her reviews on Unilocal but very disappointed following my visit.
Dr. Thaik had an assistant do an EKG on me on a treadmill. The woman that administered it was cranky and bossy. She didn’t answer my questions until I pushed her.
After being bossed around in a rude way, I asked her «are you mad at me about something?»
She didn’t seem surprised at all that I might have picked up that vibe from her. She didn’t offer any explanation other than she was not mad at me.
After the EKG, she did an ultrasound on my heart. I asked her what all the wires were about and if this was an ultrasound. She seemed very annoyed that I wanted to know what the heck she was hooking me up to. (I don’t care who it is, I’m one of those people that likes to know what is being done to me).
After everything was done, Dr. Thaik comes into my room. She had a very friendly and charming demeanor. She looked at the ultrasound and told me that my heart muscle was thicker than it should be for a person my size. She said my blood pressure was kind of high and that I should consider meds.
I asked her if I could bring down my BP without meds. She said maybe if I cut salt and alcohol.
I asked if I should cut weight. She said that would help. This is where it gets weird…
I am 62 years (very fit and work out a lot), 5’10″ and weighed 178 pounds. Everyone I know says I am slender. When I mentioned to her that, when I got married at 27 yrs, I only weighed 128, she said that I should try to get down to that weight. I thought… «this is nuts». I have been doing light weightlifting since 29, along with quitting smoking and, at 62 years, have probably put on about 30 pounds of muscle.
If I lost even 15 pounds I would probably look emaciated. This doctor was recommending that I lose 50 pounds??? At 62 years, 5’10″ (and relatively muscular), I’m supposed to weigh 128 pounds? I would probably die before I got to 135.
The next weird thing is this… The reason I wanted to see a cardiologist in the first place is because I had this feeling that my heart was skipping a beat. I got this fluttering feeling in my heart. After the doctor was finishing up with me, I asked her if she looked at the results of the EKG. She responded with an embarrassed look and said… «oh, they are over here». She found the report on the table, glanced it it for about 3 seconds and says. «it looks good»
I was shocked. The reason I was there was because of a heart beat problem and she didn’t even look at the EKG until I asked her! She was ready to send me out to the front desk without even looking at it.
When I got back to Vegas I told my primary care doctor about the incident and she just shook her head. Now I have to go to another local cardiologist who will know what they heck they should be checking for and will do the due diligence. I think Dr. Thaik and her staff where wholly deficient in regards to my assessment and treatment.

Great Dr. Extremely happy with my husbands results, so happy he did not have to go on Crestor as his general practitioner suggested– Dr Thaik & her diet (along with red yeast rice & apple cider vinegar) brought his cholesterol down over 100 points. Excellent program. Not to mention she is a lovely person & easy to talk to. If you are looking to lower your cholesterol or need a cardiologist, she is your gal !

I loved going to Dr. Cynthia Thaik’s office. She gave me great advice, took so much time with me and I trust her implicitly .she helped me

A few months ago I met with Dr. Cynthia for the first time. My work schedule changed recently and my old cardiologist didn’t have compatible hours. I’m sure glad I changed doctors. She is wonderful for many reasons. First off, as a cardiologist she is thorough and patient and really wanted to understand my history, my family’s history and my overall health. I don’t just mean a little. I really felt like she wanted to know every detail. And that’s the first thing most doctors don’t care enough to ask. It’s also great that she had a echo in the office with a treadmill to do a stress test. It’s really a pain when you have to schedule that separately. So after the initial meeting with Dr. Cynthia, I did my stress echo, and then talked in length about the results. Luckily my heart is in good shape. But the rest of me could be in better shape. And we talk about diet, exercise and stress reduction. All of which are very important but most doctors would rather throw a pill at you. If your looking for a great cardiologist with a friendly staff that listens to you, your heart and whole body. This is the place to go.

I’m was very fortunate to have been referred to Dr. Thaik last week. As a lifelong avid athlete I know my body pretty well. For the previous 3 weeks I was having chest discomfort during my standard workouts and finally decided something was not right. I was sent to her immediately from my regular DR after he did an EKG on me. She made room for me and got started right away. What I really appreciated is that she LISTENED to me. After another EKG and prior to the stress test I was going to do she sent me off to the hospital for an even better look. She had a patient who was going to miss his hospital appointment and she got me plugged in straight away and thank goodness she did. They immediately admitted me and a few hours later they inserted a stent to open an artery that was 95% closed and was very close to being the end of me. Apparently what I had is known as The Widowmaker. Her knowledge, intuition and calm demeanor are wonderful! I don’t like going to the DR but she made it easy and comfortable. I have two friends who did not make it through this same situation. I’m very happy Dr. Thaik is there to help. Also, her staff were wonderful at handling all the running around and appointments as well as explaining what was going on. I’m a BIG fan.

Finally a great professional with a holistic approach to health care. Dr Thaik is looking at the big picture and comes up with medical and lifestyle suggestions that make sense and with realistic goals. So much of who we are is what we eat, exercise and how we take care of ourselves. listening and learning from dr Thaik who is well versed and highly educated is inspiring and have helped me a great deal to achieve my goals .
I highly recommend her !

Here is a person who is out of the norm of doctors. Dr. Thaik cares like a person should.
She saved me when I got alerted to be being hypertensive. She helped me when funds were tight and I had no insurance. I now do have insurance.
But it made the difference when things were bad.
Her staff of Carla, Patrick and Elizabeth and the others whose names I forgot go beyond the call of duty. These folks have a knack for making you feel better just by there energy and smiles.
I would recommend Dr. Thaik and staff to anyone I meet. She has a great food program which worked wonders until I decided I could do it myself. LOl
That didn’t work, because I gained some weight back and feel sluggish so back to
Dr. Thaik program and ideologies and to hopefully learn and listen this time
Thank you Dr. Thaik and Staff.

Dr. Thaik is wonderful! She spends time with me, answers my questions thoroughly and always makes me feel like my health care is important to her!!!

Dr. Thaik is a very pleasant mixture of eastern and western medicine. She leads with a the Western stuff (she diagnosed me, put me through a bunch of tests to support the diagnosis, etc.) and towards the end followed up with a more holistic eastern approach.
As someone once told me, Western medicine is really good at dealing with problems one they’ve reared their ugly heads, and eastern medicine is really good at preventing them from showing up at all. Dr. Thaik is a really wonderful blend of the two, recognizing that both philosophies can support each other.
She’s written a book called «Your Vibrant Heart» on Amazon, and gave me a copy on the way out.

Dr T took me last minute to do a stress test and check out my heart due to some possible issues.
She is a knowledgable doc and has a great warmth and care when dealing with her patients.
I waited only a short time and was able to get my stress test and other tests done quickly and efficiently. She took her time explaining to me what everything meant and even took the time to talk to my worries sister on the phone (sis is a physician also) to let her know the results.
When I left she gave me a copying her book as a Xmas gift and gave me an additional one for my mom.
I highly recommend and will be going to her for my heart health!

This is one of the most disrespectful medical offices I’ve ever set foot in. The receptionist was a very kind and competent person, but the doctor and the ultrasound technician’s behavior actually made me feel so horrible I burst into tears after I left the office.
I came in to address my heart palpitations at the referral of my usual doctor.
When I got in there, the doctor came right out of the gate trying to convince me that my clinical depression of more than a decade, the disease which almost claimed my life and has cost me so much, was a CHOICE. She actually used that word. Then, she came out with her fancy new proven-​to-​work juice cleanse program that would apparently cure me of this disease once and for all when combined with the right kind of positive thinking. In all my years of suffering from debilitating mental illness I have never, ever felt my pain and symptoms so incredibly trivialized as I have by this doctor. She seems more intent on selling her programs and books than she does actually listening or caring for the patient. I sat and listened to her lecture, which was mostly just unoriginal thoughts recycled from standard holistic cure programs and positive thought methods – something you might find in «The Secret.» Please. As if this was the first time I might’ve heard these revelatory claims! As if I’d never thought in the many years of agonizing suffering I’ve endured to apply POSITIVE THINKING and a GOOD DIET. WOW.
I can’t express how insulted I felt.
I had no clue why I was being lectured about my mental health care and choices at a cardiologist’s office. This is clearly not your area of expertise, doctor.
Then there is the disaster that was the ultrasound technician. This person apparently has never heard of bedside manner or just manners in general. She breathed vague orders under her breath and when I didn’t immediately do exactly as she’d told me with perfect precision, her attitude became downright condescending and vicious. She spat the orders back and me and rolled her eyes, giving me a really nasty stare. I’m so sorry to have tried your patience. With the way she treated me I honestly just felt like a piece of meat laying on that table instead of a person.
When I was changing back into my clothes, the doctor barged into the room without knocking, leaving me exposed to whoever might be in the hallway. Got a quick, cursory apology for that, at least.
Walked away with nothing useful, though I was extremely upset to the point of tears. I guess that’s the consolation prize you walk away with in this office.
Steer clear.

Dr Thaik is an absolutely amazing doctor! She is a true gift to the medical community offering the best in whole health care. She is my cardiologist but offers so much more for total well being. Her book is amazing and I wish more doctors were more like her. She is truly paving the way and revolutionizing medicine as we know it. I highly recommend her and the amazing staff in her office. Patrick is great! All I can say is WOW!

Dr. Cynthia Thaik is one of those rare doctors you come across who is truly focused on helping the patient find the means to help him/​herself. In an age where doctors cannot find enough medications to prescribe for a patient, it is truly relieving to talk with one who takes a different and more holistic approach.
I stopped by a little under a month ago and the level of service ranging from her staff to the Dr. Thai herself is impeccable.
Going to the Doctor can be gut-​wrenching in and of itself but everyone in Dr. Thaik’s office put me completely at ease and were also incredibly patient with me.
Keep up the good work Doc!
