Dr. Ted Naman has been my husband's physician since 2005, and mine since 2006.

In 2013, my husband started showing dangerous symptoms. Dr. Naman repeatedly dismissed them and treated me like I was crazy. Although my husband and I each signed consent forms allowing the other to be involved in our care, Dr. Naman claimed that I was not allowed to speak to him regarding my husband's symptoms because of HIPAA.

As of the writing of this review, my husband has been in the hospital for 709 days. Because hospital doctors have discussed his symptoms and history with me at length, I now know that the symptoms Dr. Naman persistently ignored were mania, episodes of psychosis, partial seizures, and the super-tiny pupils were a sign of drug overdose (on drugs provided by Dr. Naman and taken exactly as prescribed).

I wanted for so long to believe that somehow there was a bizarre but understandable explanation for all of this, that Dr. Naman's refusal to acknowledge or treat my husband's symptoms was somehow a mistake. Once upon a time, I trusted Dr. Naman implicitly and would have done whatever he recommended without question.

At one of my last appointments with him, I cried and begged him to tell me why he had ignored my husband's symptoms. My husband is profoundly disabled now and still may die. I was desperate to believe that my trusted doctor wasn't cruel. I wanted to believe it was a mistake; I wanted to believe he cared; I wanted to trust him again; I wanted my sense of safety back. All I wanted was to talk about and understand what had happened.

Dr. Naman listened to me cry and told me he didn't have time for my "arguments" and that if I didn't stop, he'd dismiss me from the practice. I was shocked and I stopped and actually apologized to him.

Upon reflection, however, I decided I could no longer ignore his cruelty. His defensiveness made it impossible for me to ignore the fact that he clearly has something to hide.

A few days ago I was called and abruptly dismissed from the practice. I was not given a clear reason, and it was done without adequate warning to get necessary follow up care for a recent hip fracture. I suspect it is retaliation following a request for my husband's medical records.

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD from medical trauma. I tried SO MANY TIMES to believe the best of Dr. Ted Naman. But I cannot ignore his cruelty anymore.

And to be clear, yes, to some degree I am writing this review because I am angry. But more than that, I am bereft. I am mourning the loss of my relationships with the two most trusted men in my life: my husband and the compassionate doctor I once believed Dr. Naman to be. I am heartbroken.

Unbelievable. This was my first time and my time to this doctor. and this physician's office there's , three doctors, terrible. Staff is unbelievably rude. You will not get a greeting upon entering the facility you will not get a thank you upon leaving,it's terrible. I had to get a routine physical done and I end up going for four more tests later. if you ask anything about billing or anything like that the front desk staff is completely clueless and I am being 100% serious, they are literally clueless. there is trash lined up to the back door and the back door left wide open. It was 90° out for the past two days and they do not have their air conditioning on I repeat they do not have their air conditioning on. I honestly think that this place needs to be investigated. When I finally did meet the doctor I only saw him for 10 minutes and he made me do more test. I am a 23-year-old and I see this and it's terrible I am healthy.

they staff is very rude and unpleasant, I don't know why I continued coming here. the wait times are unreasonably long even with an appointment. you wait in the waiting room for an hour then wait in the exam room for an hour. the assistants up front are cold and unwelcoming. me and my children will not be coming back to this office.

Dr. Ted is probably the best doctor that I have ever had. We move around ALOT and finally settled down about a year ago and have been going to him (our whole family). He's not only the nicest, but also probably the smartest doctor I have ever had. You know you have a good doctor when so many patients come to see him! Have you heard the story about choosing a barber? There were 2 barbers, one who had a very nice hair cut and a spotless place, while the other had an awful haircut, a dirty place, and was way to busy. Which one do you think gives the best haircuts? Obviously the one who is so busy. Now I'm definitely not comparing EPG to that, as every time I have been there it was very clean and I didn't have to wait too long (although one time I did but that was on a busy wednesday afternoon ) The staff has been great too. I have been recommending Dr. Ted and Greg to everyone who has been looking for a good doctor. He always remembers us and is very good. Overall we're in good hands.

Ted and his Staff are horrible. For some crazy reason I went there for four years and never saw him in a reasonable time from my appointment. Not once. I had 103 fever one time and waited three hours to see him. I also had some serious medical testing done which although, all of my other docters had reviewed prior to my visits he had not. The office is dirty. The staff is lazy.

Terrible. Long waits -- one hour once (with appointment), messed up test result requiring repeat appointment, pressure to complete sleep "studies" at doctor-owned lab, billing department competely unfunctional which required multiple calls to insurance company. And extremely conservative about treating IBD: Steroids, steroids, steroids! Oh, you want to try something else? How about more steroids? Avoid.

I love Dr. Ted! He is the best. He took time to get to know me on my first visit and remembered me on my follow up visits. He's not just a peds doctor he's also family practice. Sometimes the wait can be a little too long but he's worth it!
