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.

Pathetic MD
Another doctor that refuses to treat the patient. If you’re previously on medication, expect him to stop it. Even if it’s critical to your health. Your previous treatment will be completely disregarded because he will only force SSRI’s on you. He seemed very nice at first but anyone who has been to a good doctor knows that he is a waste of the value of the word “doctor”. In my honest opinion, he doesn’t deserve to be a doctor because he does not treat. He bills my insurance for appointments which no treatment occurs. Truly pathetic, I wish I didnt waste time seeing him. If I could report him to a medical board, I truly would. He does not deserve to be a doctor or possess that title. And “Dr.” Tatalias, if you’re reading this, it is okay to treat the patient with symptoms and a diagnosis. Some people aren’t just looking for pills, it’s okay to write prescriptions.

Dr Tatalias has been my mother's dr for over a year. At first, he seemed caring. About the past 6 months everything is different. He refuses to discuss more than one problem per visit. Every visit it's let's discuss that next visit....3 months away! He refuses to even discuss pain because he's terrified to write stronger prescriptions that work, leaving patients in pain that he doesn't want to talk about. My mother is elderly and if she brings up pain medication, he treats her like a drug addict. My mother has NEVER done drugs. He writes her for 5 pain pills a months ago she gets to choose which days she is writhing in pain and which days she actually gets relief. He never follows up on tests he set up for the patient. He hasn't even had her blood drawn in the entire time she's been his patient. He wants to only talk about one problem per visit, with him deciding which one to discuss. When you call in prescriptions, be prepared to wait at least a week... and that's if you cal

Simply the best
I appreciate Dr. Tatalias. I’ve been a patient of his since February 2020. Dr. Tatalias is an excellent physician. Knowledgeable and compassionate, Dr. Tatalias exhibits genuine concern for his patients. He spends time with my fiancé and me as he goes through my care plan. I’ve shared my experiences with family and friends. I am very thankful to have Dr. Tatalias as my primary care physician. He’s the best!

Dr. Tatalias is one of the most compassionate doctors I have met in my 30 years. He always answers my questions thoroughly,and is very understanding of my anxiety. I am so thankful he started working at the doctor's office I go to. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a primary care doctor.
