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.

Forgotten patient
Knows nothing about diagnosing or treating post viral syndromes and post-exertional malaise. Recommended exercise, making symptoms worse. Never ordered the right blood tests to identify possible treatments to alleviate suffering. Just sad we pay so much for insurance and the gatekeeper to care holds the gate shut with ignorance.

Terrible experience- gaslighting & dismissive
I do not recommend Dr. Rowe. Over many visits, regarding an ongoing health concern, she was ineffective, dismissive and was quick to gaslight me. She seemed fed up and not willing to answer questions.

I am a new patient, but I have found Dr. Talarico to be pleasant and informative in her interaction. She asks clarifying questions and seems to want to try the least invasive methods. She also asked me to provide her with follow up information to guide my treatment.

I love Dr. Talarico and she has always provided me with great medical attention and advice for a variety of problems, but her office staff is HORRIBLE and the notes are never complete from appointments. I had to come back to the office for another physical before my prescription would be renewed, when I had already had a physical that year (it was not recorded). They also do not follow up when referring to other specialist offices, or insurance claims. Hesitant to return due to incompetent staff

Dr. Talarico listens carefully to your needs. She advises on dietary or vitamin alternatives to help with various medical ailments. My daughter and I have been her patients for several years and have always received excellent care. She has always seen us as soon as possible or seen by Nurse Practitioner, if she is not available, She gives careful referral to other doctors as needed, when not her area of expertise with doctors who also meet her level of care and integrity.

I have been a patient of Dr. Anna Talarico for years now. I love that she always looks into diet and nutritional needs for issues versus just prescribing meds. She always takes her time with me and even get's me in when it urgent!
