Dr. Seth F Tatel, MD

Dr Serh F Tatel is exceptionally competent. He has been my GI for many years.

Never have I been made to feel so uncomfortable. It’s an awkward thing to submit yourself to, then to have a cocky, arrogant person performing the procedure. I hope his medical skill is better than his manners. The entire staff in the procedure room was uptight, so that made me very nervous. Never will I see this arrogant person or go to the BEACON Surgery center in LaPorte. Don’t take the risk. I’m not confident of his findings? Very expensive.

I was referred to Michiana Gastro by my family doctor due to GERD we have been unable to get under control. I have spoken with the office and they were wonderful. The pre-op staff at memorial outpatient services was wonderful. Met Dr. Seth Tatel in the procedure room right before my endoscopy. He seemed ok at first until he brought up my weight and said if I kept my calorie intake under 1500 calories a day then I would lose weight and it would help. I explained to him that I knew this and I have been struggling with trying to lose weight despite cutting calories, cutting pop, coffee, energy drinks and not eating after a certain time of day etc...He blantantly told me I wasn't cutting all that stuff out or eating less than 1500 calories a day because if I was I would have already lost a ton of weight and would have withered away by now. He really upset me. I was just recently diagnosed with an enlarged thyroid with nodules on both sides and a goiter on the right side, hyperplasia in my… uterus, and a cyst that keeps growing on my left kidney causing blood in my urine and had just recovered from a knee surgery earlier in the year. The last thing I want is a doctor who knows nothing about me other than I was sent for an endoscopy for a specific issue to call me a liar about my diet and how many calories I eat. I'm not very impressed with him and I am supposed to go back in a month to discuss biopsy results. I would rather he just send my biopsy results to my family doctor and let him deal with me. I am not excited about going back to him at all.

This doctor at this hospital is no different from any other individual or business. They want money. They will drain your insurance as fast as possible with excessive generic medication and unnecessary repetitive testing. Seth tatel will lie to your face and you won't notice till the massive hospital bills come in. I cannot and will not pay them. Because of Seth tatel I will likely take my own life.
