Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He does not actually speak to u when u have an appointment. And he throws a temper tantrum if he feels something is not his way. His paperwork says he is suppose to spend 15 minutes with u, u r lucky if u get 5 minutes. I have been going to him for 5 years & got less than 5 minutes each visit.

I have been seeing Dr. Tark for a year now. He is one of the nicest, caring Physicians that I have ever gone too. He takes the time to listen to me, and help me as much as he possibly can to deal with the pain that I have. I have bilateral knee pain due to bone rubbing against bone, yet I am not able to have knee replacement surgery due to health issues. He is really a great Physician. I recommend him whole heartedly.

I was told to have my doctor fax all medical records, which I did that day. 7 days past without a call to schedule a new patient appointment. I called 3X to get a status and was told each time it was under review. If the office was this unresponsive about a patient in pain just to get scheduled for an appointment, then they would be equally unresponsive and uncaring in person. So I called and requested my records so I could go elsewhere. Office refused to provide my records. Unprofessional.

Dr Tark saved my life! I was at the point I didn't know where to turn or who to go to anymore. The pain was unbelievable and my life was one of pain and burning 24 hours a day. He knew exactly what was wrong with me and started treating me quickly and with compassion. This Doctor is more than a doctor. He is a caring and considerate man who treated me so kindly knowing the amount of pain I was in. I still have pain and deal with it on a daily basis but he has helped me to control it.
