Dr. Taravella bent over backwards for me more than once when he didn't have to during a rough time in my teen years. That was nearly 20 years ago now but I've NEVER forgotten it. He cares about his patients more than a lot of doctors these days. He's the best in Baton Rouge and probably the state when it comes to addictions or psychiatry and though I'm not a current patient, I will always say that because I've seen it for myself

Dr. Taravella has been my doctor for thirteen or more years. He has spent countless hours figuring out just the right mix of medications to help me live a happy life. He has helped me in so many ways. He often ones ask the same questions, but then always asks if there is anything else I need to discuss. The only con is that he works on a cash basis and does not accept insurance and such so each visit is $70. I could go to a doctor for cheaper, but I wouldn't get the quality of care I get with Dr. Taravella.

This man disclosed information I told him in confidence to the local Police and even CALLED THE POLICE on me when I demanded that he provide me with the services I paid for. This man is CREEPY and trust me, you will never feel like he actually has your best interest in mind. Seek other help.
