I have been a patient of Dr. Irakam for 5 years. Dr. Irakam is a very knowledgeable and very kind doctor. He listens to his patience and provides clear and concise answers. His staff is very attentive as well. There is a reason why he is considered one of the best, if not the best, GI doctors in the area of Bridgewater, NJ.
