5 out of 5 stars

My doctor made me feel seen and respected , they cared about my mind and body as a whole and had so much knowledge and new what they were saying and how to help

5 out of 5 stars

All I can say is she is what every doctor should strive to be. She was emphatic, knowledgeable, and put me at ease. Best experience I've had with a doctor in many years!

I wish all doctors were as attentive, knowledgeable and compassionate as Dr Tamasdan. She spends the time during appointments listening and asking all the right questions. Never rushed. Her staff is kind and friendly.

Terrible experience.

If I could give no stars, or a negative rating on this review, I would. If you want to be judged and not treated properly this is the doctor for you. If you have tattoos, or look anything but proper and normal this woman will judge you right when she walks through the door. I have things in my chart that are not true and things that are not relevant. These things are following me around and have really hindered my healthcare and treatment plans. I have sever lupus and sever rheumatoid arthritis. I've had heart surgeries, lung surgeries. I'm unable to get any pain management due to this woman. So I've been suffering in pain everyday for almost two years. She woke me up after my heart surgery when I was alone. I woke up to this woman sitting on the end of my bed asking me questions and being very rude and judgmental. Then after I was referred to her for pain management and she wouldn't accept me as a patient. So due yourself a favor and skip right over this doctor because you'll be treated based off of her opinion on you. It's really sad and I hope my review can save others from dealing with this monster. She has zero bedside manner, and she’s judgmental. Two qualities that make up for a terrible “doctor”.

Excellent doctor,friendly explained everything in detail.I don’t change her

1 out of 5 stars

Rude, disrespectful, distracted, lacks compassion or the slightest interest in helping. She took two personal calls during visit, just walked out of the room, no 'Excuse me', or 'sorry' either upon leaving, or returning 10 minutes later. Wrote inaccurate and untrue office notes in office visit notes, and completely misquoted me. Obviously, she wasn't listening at all. Mentioned two possible dugs for me, but said she would not prescribe them at this time with no explanation, and I should come back in ' year'. She said this knowing I suffer with conditions that cause intractable severe constant pain. Beyond unacceptable.

5 out of 5 stars

Wonderfully compassionate doctor. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!
