"This physician exemplifies what no one would want in a physician: more concerned with updating my medications than showing any kind of genuine interest or intellectual curiosity. I know what an excellent physician is and he is definitely not one of them. "

"I have seen Dr. Tatara as a primary doctor for a while. He is the type of doctor that is outspoken on how natural remedies are a waste of time, and when I have complained about pain and medical problems he tries to throw harmful drugs at me. When test come up negative for potential causes of my problems, he will call me saying the results are negative and not even acknowledge that the problem is still there. When I have called him trying to get urgent medical advice, he either does not call back or calls days later. I am leaving this useless doctor and greedy Advocate medical group and hopefully finding a doctor who is not so useless and actually cares about keeping patients healthy, rather than keeping them sick so they keep coming back.
