Dr. Charles David Talakkottur, MD

Dr. T is a very good doctor , with a great staff and office is always beautiful and clean

You always sit in the waiting room >45 minutes even if on time, then sit in the exam room another 45 mins before seeing a nurse, just to wait another 30-45 ms to see the doctor. Every 2 months he'll make you come in before authorizing refills for common meds like Lisinopril or Metformin, even when he's had you on those medications & doses for 2+ years! I've had to see him over fifteen times in the last two years just to get him to refill prescriptions, and they're always the same. All about $$. I called a week before XMas to make sure my meds got refilled and found out the day AFTER Christmas he was out of town for the next two weeks and there's nothing they could do?! Then when he finally got back he HAD to see me before he could authorize refills. Gee, wonder why my BP was over 200 by that point?! Maybe if you'd filled the scrips before you left, or had someone available to do so while you were gone as is the LAW...

I saw this doctor for 6 years. He was a great doctor until his business grew. In the beginning the staff practically begged for you to go to review sites to give great reviews. I had to change him as my doctor because he went out of town without someone with prescription authority on call. I am on a medication that cannot be abruptly stopped, or it can cause life threatening symptoms. His office did not care about the life threatening position I was in. Luckily, I found a doctor (that day) to help me and was told by the new doctor that this doctor is not supposed to leave without having someone to be able to write for all of his prescriptions. (Note this is not an opioid prescription) I am also currently unable to get any blood work done through quest because he sent lab work that my insurance does not cover without even telling me! The lab work was explained to me as; a testing that my insurance would not pay for and for that reason I had to pay his office $100, which I did. I then… get billed from quest lab and was told they did not pay them any money. This office kept my $100 and then kicked the denied coverage bill back to me, even though I never knew it was being sent to a third party. The third party (quest) said he choose for the bill to be charged to me when he had the option of charging it to his office on my account. Now I am stuck with a bill that I cannot pay and I also cannot get very vital blood work done unless this bill is paid. This is beyond unethical and any doctor who truly cares about their patients would never do things like this! The almighty dollar has taken over what used to be a very caring doctor. If you have a lot of money than he may be good for you, as they charge for everything, including $50 to fill out any form of paperworkfor you, and will order tests that they know your insurance does not cover without even telling you. I spoke to quest and they said there's nothing they can do and that this is why "people should be careful when choosing their doctors."

Good staff overall. Doctor was ok. I did have to wait over an hour for my scheduled appointment. If you decide to go to Dr. T make sure to not have anything planned for the day because you will be there for a long period of time. The doctor was good but not worth the long wait. They have a policy about everyone's time being valuable and you can't be late or they will charge a fee but they have no problem in making you wait. They have lots of room for improvement with their time managing.

I was very impressed with the Dr. and his staff. It took me about minutes to complete the paperwork, by then I was being called. Dr talakkotour was nice, thourough, and not rushed. I have full confidence in him and didnt think of other things I forgot to tell him after I left, which has always been my experience in the 10 minutes most Drs spend with you. I was given 4 refferals by the Dr. and when I was ready to check out Martha at the front desk had details for places that take my insurance all ready for me. One of my refferals required insurance authorization, a short time after I got home she was calling for my email address to send information on the 4th one. I have already completed paperwork to have my husbands records moved to Dr Talakkottour's office.The best
