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.

One of the best visit to a Dr in along time, I was treated with respect and compassion and his staff was also wonderful and kind thank you very much

Completely useless for my fibromyalgia. Didn't seem to care. Left in tears and will never waste my time, energy, or money with someone who thinks it's just a female with depression.

Doctor seemed distracted and unable to engage in conversation. He could not retain any previously mentioned comments or concerns, that had been discussed within the last few minutes. His care instructions were to follow a fibromyalgia doctor on YouTube and exercise. This was disheartening as I expressed multiple times that exercise was a main part of my life before and now is excruciating to do. He brushed off my concerns of pain directly related to an activity I use to do with no problem, and then told me to just keep doing what hurts me. He also told me that if blood work comes back with no indication of auto immune diseases, I had no reason to return to him. I left with no treatment plan and was told to do things that hurt me and to get medical assistance from YouTube. Doctor has extremely poor bedside manner and has nothing to offer patients.

I have been seeing Dr. Tallo for about 15 years! He is one of the best doctors I have ever seen! He takes time with you and he listens to your concerns. He is very kind and caring! I've been seeing him for RA and would highly recommend him!

Dr Tallo has been my Rheumatologist for two years. Because of him, my health took a complete turn around. He takes so much care to know his patients by name and can even tell you where I work! He always takes his time with me as a priority and listens. Even the nurses are amazing.

Dr. Tallo was great. I was treated by him for Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis. He was attentive, caring, thorough and prescribed me Otezla for the problem and I have had excellent results. He works for Lakeland Regional health and I highly recommend him.

I have been extremely disappointedwith my two visits to Dr Tallo. I was diagnosed with Fibro 30 years ago in Virginia and was treated for it. He only gave me a website to go to and no meds. No questions , no examination- The second time my PC sent me. I was in terrible pain in my shoulders. He gave me anti inflammatory shots which is like an aspirin. No I am not a drug addict. I do take sleep meds and usually Advil. He didn't even read the note I wrote on the portal before my visit. SAD

Dr. Tallo is one of most caring doctors I have ever seen. After 2 years, he remembered the names of all my family members and where they work or what their careers are. He truly cares about his patients' lives. He provides excellent care and has provided options to knee replacement that has not been a logical option for me due to other medical conditions. I highly rate this doctor for your needs involving joint degenerative diseases and osteoporosis. He is undoubtedly one of the best.

I have been a patient for years. He acts quickly to get you feeling better. He is a workaholic, very dedicated to his patients. My condition is under control because of his care. I wish all doctors were like him. He is excellent.
