She's decent when your not very sick, but if something is really wrong she gives you a pill and sends you away without doing blood work.

What a wonderful doctor! She's won many awards, never gloats about it or even mentions it, to be honest she should get more awards for her contributions to the community!

I have been a patient of Dr. Tala for 20 years, since Junior High. There are many MD's between where I live and her office. There is a reason I continue to go to her. She is a great Dr.!

dr. Tala has a walk-in clinic with no appointments needed. sometimes she appeared to be very thorough and other times she appeared to be hurried and skipped things like a quick check of vitals and would just sit down and write aperscription refill. on several occasions she mis wrote type of medication and dosage. when i brought these problems up to her she would correct them if i was there but if the mistakes weren't caught until the pharmacy started to fill the script and i called her to question her to be sure that she hadn't changed the med. or dose she would deny that there was a problem and i wouldn't find out what really had happened until the pharmacy called to tell me the script was ready to be picked up. I noticed that her field of expertise was emergency treatment, but every time i had what i would classify as an emergency she would give a quick exam and tell me to go to the hospital e.r. and by the way she is no longer affiliated with J.T.Mather hospital. just a further note… to give credit where it is due, her nurses and office staff are excelent, prompt, courteous. and very helpful. they have many times directed me or informed me of any abnormalities in things such as sudden changes in my blood pressure etc. and the office staff has alwaysbeen on top of any nessecary changes relating to my insurance or co-payment changes, wait times etc.
