Dr. Alexander Tal, MD

I was referred to Dr. Tal for having hyperthyroidism...he sent me for bloodwork multiple times and scans all indicating that my hormones are out of whack, along with nodules being found. He won't do anything about any of it, everytime I go I wait hours just to have him come in for 5 minutes and ask the same questions each time. And when I address my concerns about his "treatment" for me he gets an attitude and storms out of the room. Going for a second opinion. He is a very impatient and uncaring doctor. He made me feel worse about myself leaving then I did when I started going there.

I have been seeing this doctor for a few years. He seems borderline rude frequently. He barely acknowledges me at an office visit stares at a computer the majority of the time with his back to me. He sent me for a particular lab test I questioned why, he ignored me and walked away. I brought up the test again and he would not give me a straight answer. He is highly intelligent and I'm sure he is a fine doctor although his paternalistic style does not work for me. I would find it extremely hard to trust someone if they are not honest with me.

Very impatient. Keeps his back turned to you. Looks at your test results and tells you want to do. Wont spend the time to listen to you.

Excellent physician. I began seeing him through the recommendation of a patient. Explains everything and is very thorough.

I think Dr. Tal is very thorough and very easy to talk to. He has a good sense of humor, makes you feel at ease with his manner and competence and he follows up with his patients

Dr. Tal has a wonderful bedside manner and has been very attentive to my needs as a patient. This is one Dr. that will listen to your concerns and address them. Wonderful Dr.

Dr. Tal is a very thorough. He makes sure he doesn't let anything unchecked. His demeanor may be a little odd at times, but he really is very intelligent. I've been going to him for quite a few yesrs now.

Staff never follows up.

Will not call my previous physician to consult about me. Always looking at computer and not talking to my face. My spleen is enlarge and my platelets have been below normal for over a year and a half. He never mentioned to me about my platelets being low. It takes months to get a visit then the office threatens that when you cancel, you cannot get an appointment for months later.

Dr Tal is one of the best, but his staff is unorganized and then call you a liar to cover up what they did.

Dr. Tal is one of the very best Dr.'s that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Dr. Tal is extremely knowledgeable and cares about diagnosing your problem quickly and accurately. He does his best to ensure he is looking at the whole picture and orders appropriate tests. Unfortunately, the receptionist Marla and nurse Sue Steiner are not very professional at all. Every single visit I hear one or both of them saying something inappropriate, unprofessional, and unpleasant. While I was waiting in the waiting room last year, Susan was bad mouthing some other employees to Marla and cursing about a colleague that wanted to change their schedule. Marla hung up on a patient rudely in another episode. It is sad really. I couldn't believe it. If it wasn't for the care from Dr. Tal, I wouldn't continue to visit this office.

Office staff very unfriendly (especially Marla)and unprofessional. Front offce girl spends all her time on cell phone and you can hear her badmouthing her coworkers on the phone. She once shut off all the lights on us patients and walked out the door and said she was going home. Meanwhile there were 6 patients still sitting waiting to see the doctor. Every time I have an appointment I wait a minimum of 3 hours just in the waiting room then another 30-45 mins in the exam room only to have Dr Tal spend 5 minutes with me. He clearly does not listen to his patients either because he often repeats the same questions multiple times at the same visit. They will put you on a call return to make your next appt and not ever call you back so when you take it upon yourself to call they tell you they are booked for the next 6 months. Not worth it, going somewhere better.

Prompt, caring, willing to listen to patient's cares and concerns. Orders tests and writes prescriptions expediently. Administers Thyroid biopsies without pain - as this is an invasive procedure. Incredible, exceptional doctor. Highly recommended.

Would not recomend
