Dr T had been my GI doc of choice fit 20+ years. With all the health issues I have, he’s the only doc that I haven’t changed. He’s #1 in my book!

I look forward to seeing DR.Tarnasky to find out what's going on with my diarrhea problem. I've had two other GI doctor that couldn't find out was wrong with my diarrhea. So I'm hoping that can solve my problem.

I don’t have enough words to express the genuine care and concern I felt from Dr. Tarnasky directly and each and every individual I have dealt with from the initial phone call to schedule the appointment until being discharged after a procedure by the amazing staff at Methodist Hospital. Thank you for princess waving back at me when I was scared. It helped more than words. In a world that praises entire professions during seasons of crisis, the true praise goes to those who acknowledge the effect their individual actions, or lack thereof, and words have on just one sick girl during a crisis. One sick mom. One sick grandma. One sick daughter. Fighting alone. Thank you for making me feel as though one life does matter…mine. Thank you for seeing me. Thank you for hearing me. Thank you for the fresh wind to fight a little more:).

He is not respected by any other gastro in town or even this part of the country. I’ve heard so many of them feel sorry for us when we’ve mentioned we saw him and they read the medical reviews of the damage he did. He is the worst endoscopic specialist. He made an error and then refused to accept responsibility. He knows though, he knows exactly what he did. The one who corrected his mistake called him out and he still refused to accept responsibility. If you do choose to go to him and something doesn’t feel right, listen to your gut. That is what we should’ve done. And some of these positive reviews seem bogus. This incompetent man isn’t a surgeon so he doesn’t operate or do surgery. He cannot make a single cut in your skin, he’s not qualified so he’s either doing procedures he’s not supposed to or they are seriously misinformed of what a scope entails.
