Dr. Tallman is very knowledgeable and does discuss various options with me every time I visit. Sometimes patients think they know more than the Dr. They don't.

The negative reviews reflect my experience. TERRIBLE bedside manner. Her say or the highway. No follow up. My health has steadily declined since I began seeing this provider more than two years ago. My geriatric parents have also seen her but are switching because they have lost confidence in this provider.

I have been very impressed with Dr. Tallman and Rhonda (her assistant) since I started seeing her a couple of years ago. Always quick to respond, listens to my concerns and addresses them in a timely manner! If sent an email with a question, I usually have an answer by the end of the day, or first thing next morning.

Very stoic as is her assistant. Thought it good at the start but came to think she's not open and compassionate.

The staff is nice. Dr. Tallman is not open to discussing options. It is her way and that is it. Not very helpful at all.

It takes a while to get an appointment. Didn't really answer any questions regarding symptoms. Absolutely no follow-up from this doctor.

No diagnosis or feedback. When the 40 minute appointment time was up, the provider rushed from the room. About like throwing $300 in the street.
