14 years ago I was referred to Dr. Tallo by my primary Dr. Vida. He started me on methotrexate first off but within 6 months he had me on Remicade infusion every 6 to 8 weeks. I came from pulling myself up with a rope to get off the potty to running half marathons. Dr. Tallo has always been an advocate for me. He never rushes me or thinks my questions are silly. I don't know where I'd be without Dr. Tallo and his compassionate staff. I believe in myself because Dr. Tallo believed in me. I am eternally grateful.

He treated me like a lab rat and his staff treated me like a nuisance.

There is no patient involvement allowed. Don’t ask questions. He put in my chart that “the patient was informed” AFTER he didn’t explain the treatment AND told me not to go online and read about it. He does not allow patient input.

He put in my chart that I was “non compliant” because I had bad reactions to the medications. I was aware of treatment being trial and error, but with a doctor that won’t discuss anything with you, and won’t allow input, makes it impossible to gain any ground on any sort of treatment.

I have Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and a half dozen other autoimmune diseases.

I suffered for a year with this practice and I refuse to have to fight tooth and nail anymore for my concerns to be heard.

Update: If you have high homocysteine be aware that Plaquenil, Sulphasalazine, and Methotrexate which all increase homocysteine. All three made me feel like I was dying but he would not listen to me and actually put in my chart I was non-compliant like it was my fault. So he was increasing my homocysteine levels to detrimental levels and wouldn't listen to me or read my medical history showing that I already had too high levels of homocysteine and hyperhomocysteinemia.

Well I waited 2 months to see him and when I did he did type on the computer but then when I was telling him how I felt he started to yawn I was going to ask if it was me or the lack of oxygen. Told me to get blood work done and X-rays which I went straight to the lab but after 3 weeks of waiting I called my insurance co and told them I need to find out about the tests. That I am in a lot of pain and discomfort. I am still waiting for the dr visit on the 20 th of April. I am calling the insurance company back

I have been going to Dr. Tallo for years to treat RA. In times when my knees hurt so bad that nothing at home was helping, he squeezed in time for me and made me 100% better. He spends his time typing because he is documenting everything as he he should be. He has never let me down. His support staff is mostly good, it is a busy office and they are under a lot of pressure. I get my refills promptly and all my concerns are taken seriously. Dr. Tallo definitely looks out for me and uses his expertise to care for his patients.

This is by far one of the WORST doctors I have ever been seen by in my entire life! Yes, my entire life!! Didn't take the time to review my medical history. Didn't take the time to ask any questions other than if I was depressed! No, I'm there because my levels are off and my primary care doctor sent me to him, since he's SUPPOSE to be a specialist. I wouldn't recommend this man to ANYONE! Not even someone I didn't care for!! He was absolutely horrible and I'm left with just as many questions as before I went in for my visit! I asked question after question, still not one solid answer! There comes a time when a doctor needs to hang up his stethoscope, it's past his time! Do not waste your time going to see this man! It's a waste of money and your time!! Back to square one!!!

The office nurse was extremely cold and could have cared less about me as a person. Dr. Tallo was the worst physician I have ever had encountered. He basically told me I was crazy because I take an antidepressant and did NOT listen to a word I said. Said I had fibromyalgia which is so far from being accurate. I went to a teaching hospital where I was treated with dignity and respect. I was diagnosed by them with scleroderma which is a very serious, progressive autoimmune disorder. I love the clinic which he works for but would NOT recommend him to anyone I cared about

Very knowledgable in his field, shows outstanding patience with regard to questions and concerns, takes time explaining things. Works you in for an appointment the same day. He seems to always have the patients best intrest in mind. The staff is very professional and kind, very helpful with any thing you need. I would highly recommend this physician.

Dr. Tallo is not the doctor you want with FMS. He diagnosed me and after barely even talking to me about what's going on. When I had my follow up appointments he wouldn't listen to me, typed on his computer the WHOLE time and continueously told me it was all in my head. On top of him being a terrible doctor, his staff had no respect for the patients coming in. It's a "fast paced" office yet it always seems like there aren't doing much for the patients. If you are looking for a caring and compassionate doctor...THIS IS NOT THE DOCTOR FOR YOU!!!
