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.

TERRIBLE! I wish I didn’t even have to give one star! After one visit, I said I would NEVER return to her!! She repeated the same questions, argued with symptoms I told her I was having, argued on the reason I was on certain medications, and so much more. I requested a report from my visit and at least 2/3 of the information in the report was incorrect or stuff she completely made up on her own. I am filing a complaint with a thorough letter and will be speaking to the director! I have seen far too many physicians in my life of every specialty...she was by far the worst of all of them!!

When telling her about what I was dealing with, her reply was, 'Why are you telling me this? Uh, because your my psychiatrist?. I left her office fuming because of her careless attitude and I will never go back to her. I would no recommend her to anyone who wants real help.

This woman shouldn't be working in this field. She has no regard for her patients well being nor safety. She misplaces files and blames her patients, even going as far as abruptly refusing patient medications. There is no way on God's green earth, that I'd EVER recommend ANYONE to seek Dr. H. Talasila out for their personal treatment. You do not treat anyone with mental illnesses, the way she treats them. It's time to retire!!

I totally agree completely with what everyone is saying. She will argue with me when I try to tell her what some of my doctors have said. Thinks she is always right and won't listen to you.

She is horrible if want a doctor treat you like a person dont see her. She spends 10 min with you dosent have accurate records and based loose facts comes up with a diagnosis regardless of what other doctors have what has worked for you in past. Dosent care how you feell about it. Rude and incompetent steer clear.

I have depression and ADHD my whole life. I went to Dr. Talasila to get back on my medication and within 3 minutes she dismissed my ADHD and told me I had a mood disorder and prescribed a completely new medicine for that. On another incident her receptionist scheduled an appointment for a certain time, and when I showed up 5 minutes prior to my appointment, the doctor was in the parking lot and yelled at me that my appointment was actually 15 minutes prior to the time I was told and sped off.

I've been seeing her for medication maint. When I see her she quickly grabs my chart from a pile might be mine? I seen her after working 12 hr 3rds, 3hrs sleep & a very busy life as a single parent as we've talked about in the past. But on this visit totally rude & when I tried to tell her somethings I was feeling like symptoms possibly menopause she said No! That I was bipolar!! She just suggested another med made me sign a form about it & Totally offended me!! I'm done with her now!!!

Dr. Talasila is very abrupt and does not listen to her patients concerns. She is very dismissive regarding the side effects of the medicine she prescribes. She doesn't listen to your concerns and pretty much dismisses you. Mental health should be discuss thoroughly with patients and the patient needs to be comfortable with the medicine prescribed. I have gone to her 3 times and I will not be going back due to her poor bedside manner
