Serving Greater Sacramento

Dr. Takhar has over 28 years of experience in Family Medicine practice. He retired from Kaiser Permanente in Southern California and moved to Sacramento to start his independent practice. He is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and licensed by The Medical Board of California:

  • Family Practice Residency, Austin, TX (1977-1979)
  • Residency in Internal Medicine, Birmingham, UK (1975-1976)
  • M.B.B.S from Medical College, Patiala, India (1968 – 1974)

Care for the whole Family

Unlike other specialties that are limited to a particular organ or disease, family medicine integrates care for patients of both genders and every age, and advocates for the patient in a complex health care system. We provide care for your whole family – newborns, kids, teenagers, parents and the grand parents. We welcome members of the LGBT community and their families.

Flu Shots (October – February)

The flu season starts when the temperatures drop and days are shorter. The flu season is often an annual epidemic that can hit the greater Sacramento especially hard. The flu season can begin as early as October, peak between December and February, and last until May. Flu shots are recommended for those six months and older, and especially for those considered high risk (children and the elderly). Flu symptoms are often similar to cold and flu can be life threatening.
