Dr. Tara Atta, MD

The visit was for my wife who needs help identifying the specifics of her conditions. I’m her husband and caregiver who has knowledge of her medical issues. When I offered information left out by my wife, this doctor stopped and asked me to leave her office. It was only when my wife insisted that I stay that the doctor agreed but asked me not to get involved. Also, my wife has been on meds that have been working successfully, and would not accept my wife as a patient unless she took her, the doctor’s regimen of medication.

My husband was unable to voice his concerns, and it was very frustrating. This “doctor” doesn’t listen at all; she interrupts as soon as you start speaking. Her demeanor is rude and condescending. In a moment that left us both stunned, she told my husband—despite my attempts to explain while she talked over me—that he needn’t worry about heart issues, even though both his grandfather and father suffered fatal heart attacks. Heart problems run in the family, and my husband already has his own issues, yet she insisted he doesn't need a cardiologist. She saw him for less than 10 minutes, and that appointment turned out to be a complete waste of our time. This person is NOT a doctor. After our visit, we felt compelled to leave a review and discovered a slew of similar experiences shared online—how we wish we had read them beforehand! I learned a valuable lesson: always check reviews prior to seeing someone.

This is the WORSE doctor I’ve ever seen! Didn’t want to hear my concerns, treated me like I was nothing, talked over me the entire time; I was not able to even finish a sentence and because of all this I didn’t receive the care I need. Never again and I’m filing a complaint.

If you are looking for a health professional, do not go to this lady, she has no empathy with the patient, she has no vocation for service or professional ethics, the worst doctor I have ever visited, I regret not having checked the comments about this lady, she was very rude when speaking, she never looked at me and she didn't even say good morning when entering the consultation, it was the shortest consultation of my life and I left worse than when I arrived, very frustrated and with super high blood pressure, she never lets you talk and assumes everything, the nurse is just like her, hateful, the worst experience of my life has been seeing that woman. The mechanic of my car treats me better than there!!!!

This woman has no bedside manner. She was rude, did not listen to me, and lied in her follow up notes. I went for a second opinion, but was told I should get one from a dr. in the practice I had already seen, which makes no sense. I have been with Northshore Endeavor for 17 years, and have never had such a negative experience, nor been treated so rudely and dismissively. Do not go to this doctor.

Dr. Atta does not review your file, test results, or documentation unless you beg and plead with her. She is condescending and dismissive about your concerns and will diagnosis you with other medical concerns even when she does not have an expertise in that area. Her demeanor is rude and abrasive, because she believes she knows everything she doesn't bother to listen to your experience. You are better off not seeing a doctor at all than being her patient.

After reading my visit summary from today’s visit, I must provide some feedback. I came in today with concerns about the cardiovascular sensations I’m having in relation to everything else that has been happening (incorrect meds, over medication, missed diagnoses with other ENDEAVOR Drs) trying to find reassurance that I will most likely not drop dead of a heart attack or stroke, or if these were possible signs of a cardiovascular condition I haven’t been diagnosed with yet. What I received was a nurse and doctor making assumptions, interrupting, making condescending statements, impatience, and all around totally thoughtless and inappropriate behavior. Didn’t even listen to my heart. Zero stars.

Does not listen AT ALL. A few years back she wanted me to wear a heart monitor for 2 weeks but it fell off the first night and she said she suddenly didn't need 2 weeks. a few years later I had crushing chest pain that radiated into my jaw lasted longer than 15 minutes and made me nauseous, heart attack symptoms in women. I forgot I had seen her prior so I saw Dr Loew who told me I was too young for those issues so I went back to DR Atta. Not knowing Dr Lowe was her partner...she didn't listen to any of my concerns. I wanted the 2 week monitor to figure out if it isn't a heart attack WHAT it was because it was painful and terrifying, when leaving the room i said "so you're sure it wasn't a heart attack, is there something else it could be?" She said "oh yeah, tons of things" and left the room and the appointment ended. I still do not know what these episodes were due to the incompetency, ageism and sexism. DO NOT GO to her or her partner if you want to be taken seriously.

She was horrible. Dr Atta is rude and had no interest in listening to my concerns. There are plenty of other heart specialist, don’t go to her.

Had no interest in hearing my symptoms, read my stress test, said I was fine and totally dismissed everything else. Never listened to a word I said. Worst doctor I’ve met in quite a long time.

I am writing this review in behalf of my husband and myself. We both had an appt with Dr. Atta today. She is extremely knowledgeable in not just cardiology, but general health. She was very detailed with each of us and out our minds at ease. She was caring and compassionate. We feel fortunate to have found her.

Worst doctor I have seen in years. Interrupted every sentence and had zero interest in hearing details about my symptoms. I felt like she would have preferred to just have the ekg and stress test results and skip meeting the patient altogether. She was dismissive and rude.
