Dr. Ana Maria Tamayo, MD

Dr. Tamayo is the best! She is so knowledgeable and such a caring doctor. I felt very comfortable and would absolutely recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much for taking the time to see me for my wellness exam, and am so grateful to have has such a positive experience.

La Doctora Tamayo. Siempre me hace sentir en paz cuando voy con las preocupaciones de salud. Siempre con su sonrisa y sus consejos y a pesar que llevo siendo su paciente por más de 15 años venir a verla me da mucha paz. Gracias Dra Tamayo. Ruby

Dr. Tamayo has been a lifesaver for me. She diagnosed me at a time when no other doctor was able to do so. Beyond the diagnosis, she knew exactly which medication to perscribe. She has been caring, professional and dedicated. Her staff is also very nice and helpful. She continues to be the best GYN doctor I have had. Her experience and knowledge are above and beyond. I would highly recommend Dr. Tamayo.

Dr. Tamayo is awesome..My appointment wait less than fifteen minutes..Dr. Tamayo made me feel comfortable explaining the procedure and results. She listened and asked questions. I felt like someone was taking care of me and not rushing me.. Also, whenever I call I always get a quick response back and she speaks with me directly...

Went to doctor Ana Tamayo for a second opinion and explanation of my anual tests results, and she asked me to tell her what the other doctor said, instead of her explained to me, she didn’t care to take the time to explain, when I tried to hand her my printed results she didn’t take them and insisted that I told her what my other doctor said, she said I should know, and at the end of the visit when I told her I was very worry for my results she said she was very busy and had a lot of patients waiting for her. Also she didn’t have a kind/friendly attitude with me, she made me feel uncomfortable all the time. I can definitely say this was the worse doctor visit ever had.

Awesome experience! I have worked in healthcare for fifteen years and I am well aware of health care provider's bed side manner; Dr Tamayo is one of the best I have seen.

I went to Dr: Ana Tamayo office because I had an abnormal bleeding when she check me out said that didn’t see anything wrong and that the bleeding was going to stop at some point but I need an ultrasound anyway to check if I was pregnant in the front desk the assistant make me an ultrasound appointment for next month Saint that they don’t have the tools to do it right in there and have to wait until someone comes to the office with the machine to do it whit I felt that I wasn’t right cus I was with pain and bleeding but there’s was no much that I could do so I took it next day I decide to make an appointment with a diferente OBGYN and they took me on a Saturday Which I was very thankful cus I was worried about the bleeding that was getting worst and worst every day (wasn’t stopping like Dr:Ana Tamayo say!) the other doctor check me out and did in the moment a ultrasound and send me straight to emergency end it up I had a Ectopic Pregnancy and if it wasn’t Because I decide to check with… another doctor soon enough it could have turn really bad for me they told me in emergency that if would have wait for the ultrasound appointment that they make me on Dr Ana Tamayo office I could have died. PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHO YOU SEE. Never ever going back to that place. And don’t recommend anybody to even try going there.

I have been a patient there for 12 years. I am very satisfied with her. She answers my questions, she is detail oriented and I am able to see my results within the week thru her portal . I call if I have more questions. The office is clean, plenty of parking, nice staff, overall it is just great. I will recommend it to any woman.

First off, I have a history of abnormal paps and when I went to see Dr. Garzon she said that at my age it's only necessary to do paps but every 2-3 years. I asked her even if I have a history of abnormal paps and she said as long as it comes back normal. So I recently went to see her and this time she did a pap smear. In my mind, no news is good news when I didn't hear from the office. But I felt like something was wrong so I called the office and what do you know I had an abnormal pap and no one called me. They said that they called me and left a message which was untrue!! I checked my phone and I had NO voice messages or missed calls logged on my phone. I'm so irate with this office. They scheduled me for a biopsy the following week but I had no intent in coming back to this office for my healthcare. Also, I should mention that I made a yearly appointment and was rescheduled twice so my appointment was actually a year and 3 months.

I went to see this doctor to get long term birth control. I was mostly interested in Tubal Ligation. I am 28, have had two children, and have no interest in having another child. When I told the doctor this, she was condescending and told me that I am too young to make such a permanent decision... Allow me to repeat that. I am 28, and have two children and she refused to even discuss the permanent birth control I was interested in because she feels I am too young to make such decisions. I then mentioned the implant, as it is reliable, relatively easy to put in, and I have had an IUD implant failure in the past. However, she would not do that one either. She said that she simply does not do those. When I mentioned maybe referring me to somewhere that will, she refused. She said that there was no reason to do so. Instead she pushed me towards the IUD that she apparently favors. Not quite what I was wanting, but it'll do for now. I figured that if this one to fell out, I would find… another doctor that would do the one I wanted when my insurance switched in the new year. I was told to call them on the first day of my next period so that the IUD could be placed. The day arrives a month later, I call, and "We're so sorry, but the doctor is away on vacation and will not be back for another week. Just call us back at the beginning of your *next* period" This time I actually managed to get in for the IUD placement and was told when to come back for an ultrasound to make sure it was in the proper position. During the procedure, the doctor casually mentioned that the IUD would stop my period, which would have been nice to know before she was doing the procedure, but oh well, to late now. (I'm a little paranoid because of how much I do not want more children, so not having a period would make me take a pregnancy test every month) I made sure the appointment was scheduled, and was called on the day of the appointment to be told that they should not have scheduled me because they did not do those types of appointments on that day of the week. After arguing with the receptionist, I was able to go in for the ultrasound on a later day. After the ultrasound, I was told that I would not need to schedule an appointment for the results (I asked specifically about it). I was told all I would need to do is call back a few days later. So, I call on the specified day and am told that everything looks fine and that the IUD is in place and I should not need to continue using other birth control methods. YAY! THREE MONTHS LATER. Today in fact, I got a call from the doctor's office. The assistant called me and asked if I had ever called in to get my results from my ultrasound. I clarified that she was referring to the ultrasound that I had gotten three months prior, the results that I was told that everything is fine and that the IUD was in place and should be working effectively... She confirmed that that was the ultrasound she was referring to, but informed me that the IUD was *NOT* in the correct place and that I would need to have it removed and have a new one placed. Of course this upset me, and I proceeded to question the assistant about why I had been told that everything was fine when it in fact is not. I also questioned whether I should be concerned about any complications from the IUD not being placed properly other than accidental, undesired pregnancy. She simply kept repeating that I should use another method of birth control and asking me if I wanted to schedule an appointment. I requested to speak to the doctor and was told that the doctor was at lunch. I informed the assistant that since she seemed unable to answer my questions, I would need the doctor to call be back once she returned, so that I could determine if I needed to leave or ask for time off work to have the IUD removed. May have mentioned the word "malpractice." I got a call less than 15 minutes later. I guess the doctor was not actually at lunch. The doctor then proceeded to tell me all kinds of things about how the IUD works fine positioned as it is, and that the manufacturer insists on it being placed precisely and on the ultrasound to confirm, but that she has been doing this for X number of years and that they work fine even if they are not positioned as the manufacturer insists. She then told me that I do not need to have the IUD removed and a new one placed, she can simply push the current one up into the proper position. I questioned why I was given the wrong results, why her assistant said I needed to have it replaced and removed if I only needed it adjusted, and why the manufacturer would insist on precise positioning if it was not actually necessary. The doctor did not answer any of these questions fully. Brushing it off. I was told that she has two assistants, and she cannot be sure which one gave me the wrong results and that it would be useless to try to figure it out. She said that the assistant was speaking from past experience and what she has seen happen (which if it is true that the IUD simply needs to be adjusted, wouldn't the assistant know that from "past experience?"), and repeated the lines about the manufacturer insisting on the placement being precise, but it works anyway and she's been doing this for X number of years and they work fine when placed lower... Said that my period not coming should show me that it is in fact working, and when I told her that my period had *not* stopped coming, she simply repeated the lines about it working fine again. I am going to be looking for a doctor to remove Dr. Tamayo's IUD and go with the birth control I wanted in the first place. I would highly recommend that no one ever go to this doctor.
