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.

After a 1 hour wait in his office a staff member will walk out and yell my last name , letting me know another visit has officially begun , after a while to Doctor walks in staring at his computer and barely acknowledging me , he will the get up and leave the room when he is done , when they send my prescription over to the pharmacy , they always send the wrong one over to them , if the pharmacy sends them a message about the issue the office will not reply , if the pharmacy calls , the office will not answer if I call the office I am yelled at and told to fix the issue myself , I have finally given up and am tired of dealing with rude , inconsiderate staff.

I have no doubt the Dr saved my life. He was able to diagnose my thyroid problems as well as find the right medication for my high blood pressure when other Drs couldn't do it.

I would have gave him zero but Im sure there is worse. Everything you read here is true. He acts like a robot, wont even look at you, refuses to fill some medications unless you physically see him every 3 months...you should hear my wife deal with his incompetent staff. The receptionist quote "Dont always have time" to call a patient back in 24hrs if there is a problem with a refill. I am on TRT...if you have male hormone problems stay away from this doctor. He will make you jump through hoops every single refill. And the rooms... literally so dirty I take pictures of the same cobwebs I seen a year ago. The same moldy walls and ceiling tiles. You can just TELL your in a failing practice. ..I cant wait to get off Passport so I can avoid this whole building of 2nd rate 3rd world doctors!

I genuinely like Dr. Tanwani but his office processes are incredibly frustrating and confusing. It is relatively difficult to contact the office and get information. I find that blood test results and follow up information promises (that they will call you back with results) are rarely kept. I almost always have to call back to get blood sugar A1C results even though they "promised me they would call me". When I mention that they did not call me they assert that they tried and got my voice mail. The interesting thing is......all calls go to my cell phone and there are no (zero) voice mails in the inbox from their office.

I do not recommend Dr Tanwani for thyroid endocrinology.I made an official complaint as after the appt I spent 2 weeks of phone calls trying to get my prescription and then Dr Tanwani changed the action plan that we discussed, but never called me to discuss. He used his messaging system that he only checked 1x a week.The office manager is very pleasant and tried to make amends,yet bill had to be paid even though I was seeking services elsewhere.I would say more but character limits.

I've been seeing Dr Tanwani a couple years now and I can say I like him very much. He is kind and very Thorough Dr. . I would give him a 10 on a scale of one to ten. I recommend him highly.
