Dr. Tarantino's office believes the medical community's reputation for poor patient service could be worse, and they are succeeding in proving it.

When I first began seeing him he was wonderful. Took a deep interest in my case. His staff however were horrid. Rude & so nasty. I was hurt when he put me on daily antibiotic for over a year not telling me the possible consequences. I blew up like a balloon looked pregnant and he didn’t even examine me. He would just sit across the room asking me questions and typing in the computer. And there was another person in the room also documenting the visit. He told me to remain on the antibiotic and I stopped. I went to see a GI doc as I know had IBS-D and lost over 50 lbs. went back 6 months later to advise him and he said Nothing.
Again he can be very friendly he had me fooled
Sad. Ecay’s Rite didn’t have to be this way:(

came to my vasectomy in a filthy lab coat and tried to convince me that it was ok because the coat was clean. I told him to get scrubs on before I would let him near me. He whined a little but changed- then came back in the same gloves - I asked him to follow sterile procedures or we were done and I'd report him to the insurer as well as the medical board. Staff is the usual bored and could care less doctors office attitude at all locations.

When he made a careless and easily reversible mistake, rather than fixing it, he lied, attempted to cover-up by ordering an unnecessary and risky test (that required the administration of many enemas in preparation--all of which had to be done on Christmas Day for the test scheduled on the following day)and refused to provide the standard treatment to reverse the problem he caused. He may have adequate skill and knowledge but he lacks integrity and honesty.
