Tanaquil Tamara Taubes, MD

I came to Dr. Tania with a problem that was not her specialty. I felt like I had exhausted all other options, and I was willing to give anything a try. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Dr. Tania is a rare gem. She has become a yeshiva student of my disorder (that was her joke- but it is true!). She is extremely detailed in her care for me- making sure she understands every side effect, adverse effect, and life effect. She makes sure I am an educated patient- - - that I understand each theory that might help me and every decision I am making in my care. Many reviews have mentioned that she treats her patients with dignity, and I think this is only one of the ways in which she empowers her patients. She communicates with my other doctors to make sure there is cohesion in my care. She returns phone calls. Her recommendations to me have been detailed, brilliant, and tailored to fit my needs. But most of all, Dr. Taubes is genuine. She has not just been a doctor to me, but also an advocate for my needs. Her care and concern just do not stop.

However, I think what most people are not addressing, which I believe to be key is what a superb diagnostician she is. In my particular case, I had been diagnosed with a particular condition by a clinician I was seeing when I was living in Philadelphia. When I was to see Dr. Taubes, she listened very intently about this diagnosis, asked me several germane questions, and suggestions my symptoms MIGHT be a manifestation of something else. She prescribed a medication, explained in great detail and with enviable clarity, WHY she was prescribing it, potential side effects and benefits I would reap, all with great precision. She urged me to contact her IMMEDIATEDLY if I experienced any adverse reactions. Very precise in the why and the wherefore, I felt better in a trice ~so apart from her very many humane qualities, her impressive breadth and knowledge of neuro-science and MUST not be overlooked. Au courant with the latest treatments, she is a first rate, tripe distilled, five star clinician.

It took me three years to find a psychiatrist with Dr. Taubes's credentials, but more importantly, someone with whom my son looked forward to discussing his substance use and psychiatric problems. My son improved to the point that he enrolled in college and got good grades. Dr. Taubes was relentless in her efforts, going above and beyond the call of duty.
