Taratuta Beata A MD

This Dr. is top’s. I for the life of me can not understand why anyone would give her a bad review. She is one Internist who does not try to just make money!!! She spends the time necessary with all her patients. If you need a specialist for your condition she sends you to only the best!!! She is not like other primary’s who attempt to treat medical conditions that are not her specialty. Myself and entire family highly recommend her. My father is alive today due to the efforts of this awesome Doctor. I have even referred her to friends and they have been very pleased with her… We need more Doctors like Beata Taratuta. She is a credit to our medical community.

I really hate to give a doctor a one star review, but sometimes, it’s warranted.
First, this office looks dirty. It probably isn’t, but it looks like it. The inside looks like it was just thrown together without much care. At the very least, it needs a new paint job. I almost walked out. I was very uncomfortable. The chairs were visibly worn out, and the floors need to be replaced. Also, the blinds on the door needed to be replaced — all bent up and destroyed like a cat tried to climb up them numerous times.
I gave her and her staff two tries, even though I wasn’t impressed the first time. The first time, the nurse gave me a very good case as to why I would frequently wait well passed my appointment time (about a half hour the first time) — the doctor is thorough. Okay, great. I can be okay with that. No problem. I can put up with it if she spends lots of time with her patients, because it means she’ll take a lot of time and care with me.
But no…
I was there for a couple of reasons. 1. I needed a new doctor and 2. I had prescriptions and was out of refills.
I brought my prescription bottles with me… but she didn’t even look at them. She just let me rattle off my prescription names and dosages, wrote a prescription for each and signed off on them without any proof of me being on them. If I were drug seeking, I would’ve been in addict heaven. Shameful.
The second time I came in was definitely worse. I waited a full hour passed my appointment time (which was awful because I took off work to be there, so I essentially wasted half of my day). Half the staff had been replaced, which concerned me because it had only been a month. The friendly, knowledgeable nurse who was there for my first appointment was gone and replaced by two women who seemed confused and didn’t have enough to do. I could hear them clearly enough in the back «office» that I suspect many people who go there can claim HIPAA violations. Additionally, when another patient came in, one of the nurses mentioned how the missing nurse from my last appointment, «just up and left,» which seemed like an unprofessional thing to say and tells me more about her than it does about the nurse who left.
The doctor did the same thing. She said her nurse left all of a sudden. Then she rolled her eyes and shook her head. I’m sorry, but I don’t want to know about your inter-​office drama.
As if that weren’t enough, the doctor doesn’t dress very professionally. I might get a facial from someone like her, but I don’t feel comfortable getting medical care from a woman who wears skinny, stone washed jeans and 6 inch heels that look like she took a bedazzler to them. It’s just not appropriate attire in a medical clinic for a doctor. Save it for the club or a trip to the mall. Wear something more professional looking. I don’t generally make judgments based on how someone dresses, but this was an exception for me.
I’m not going back. I’m looking for a new doctor.
