Tallo is a quack!

by shamilton84

I was referred by a wonderful gynecologist but was seriously disappointed! It took forever to get an appointment but when I finally got in I was treated like I was invisible! I waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room (even though I arrived about 15 minutes before my appointment) and Dr Tallo came in for about 5 minutes. She said I'll be right back and didn't come back for 45 minutes! I heard the receptionist on the phone while I was waiting for Tallo to return and they had lost the record my gyno had sent over, then I could hear Tallo in the other room with ANOTHER PATIENT! She did his full exam while I sat and waited. I know I was there before him, yet I waited? I was furious and almost left but I needed labs done and then I was told I had to go to another office to do that! So ridiculous! Thank God I had insurance but I still hated to write out that $22 check for her... My advice: FIND A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!

Worst Practice in the World

by vcgameday

Not only is the office a complete disorganized catastrophe, one of the associates, Dr. Caliguiri shouldn't have a license to practice. My wife just got out of the hospital. She was seeing Caliguiri for two months. She told Caliguiri not once, not twice, but three times to check her gallbladder. Caliguiri said she didn't think it was the problem so she wouldn't check. She had pain when she ate food. On top of all that we NEVER go a call back! My wife lost 30 lbs. because it was too painful to eat! We ended up going to the EMERGENCY room and spent a week in the hospital and finally got her gallbladder removed. Our sergeon couldn't understand the delay in checking the gallbladder. Web MD was more helpful than Tallo & Associates...

I really did not like the way the receptionists treated me when I had to change my appt due to a death in the family and i explained this to them the were very rude to me and acted as if it was wrong of me to change my appt I changed doctors because of this also the phone system is very disorganized Dr.Anderson is great though very friendly and and compassionate treats you like a person not a patient
