I was referred to Dr Tarantolo by my psychologist who had not worked with him before. He is extremely anti-medication. He also has no respect for the current state of psychiatry or how it developed. He is very opinionated. If you are ok with an MD who is old, forgetful, and very opinionated then you might like him. He will force you off psychiatric medication in a hurry and not at the pace you are comfortable with. I would not recommend this doctor.
