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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Taterka’s for almost 20 years. He is professional, compassionate, and always takes the time to answer all my questions. He always returns my calls in a timely manner.

My appointment was very satisfactory. The office personnel, the nurse were very attentive. Dr. Taterka listened well as we discussed my ongoing issue. I’m glad not to need a third endoscopy. I hope change of prescription will work for me as I adjust my dietary intake. Every category was five stars except ease of scheduling. I tried but could not get through so my primary made the appointment. Thank you! Sister Therese Destefano, SSJ

I rate Dr. Taterka as a excellent service provider. He provided information about my condition with words that I could understand and wanted to make sure that I knew that I could reach out to him if I needed to make another appointment or call to speak to him. The facility is well maintained, the staff is very friendly, and the wait time was about five minutes.

It was helpful to meet with the physician prior to having the procedure. My first time meeting Dr. Taterka, I feel confident that the information he shared with me will put my mind at ease in having this procedure done. Also the person who explained the preparation for myself gave clear instructions! I appreciate the professionalism.
