He takes time to talk to you.

-You usually can get in to see him without waiting months.
-Once you are seen he takes the time to talk to you.
- He gets your referrals done quickly.
- He seems genuinely concerned.
- His staff is very nice.

Note:
Entrance and parking can be tricky to find. You park in the back next to Tierra Marie coffee and enter the gates at the back into a courtyard. I had a bit of trouble the first time, but after that, it was very convenient to where I live.

I've just moved back to the OC from Las Vegas . I picked Dr. T just because he was right down the street from my new residence
He's been my primary doc for a year now.
I have several chronic illnesses, the main one is heart failure. He has given me good advice and recommendations.
I went to him last week for a new issue. I had conjoined bumps st base of my neck that hurt a little and just bugged me.
He prescribed an antibiotic and said the bumps were nothing serious abd would be gone in about 4 days.
Shout out to DR. T. They are not completely gone on day 5 but KNEW HIS STUFF! They

I found Dr. Tarlow through my insurance provider and have been a patient of his for over a year now. The office is always very clean and the staff is always pleasant. I hate sitting in the private patient room and waiting long periods of time for the doctor to see me after having vitals taken. I'm pleased to say that he is very prompt and I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes! I always come prepared with a list of my concerns and questions. Dr Tarlow is extremely attentive and always takes his time when determining issues and fully explaining the root causes, symptoms, treatments

My husband and I came down with this nasty flu and we needed to get back to work right away. Dr. Tarlow's office staff was so kind and got us in the same day. Dr. Tarlow is kind, attentive and patient. He prescribed just what we needed, and we were feeling better in a short time and back to work. I am self employed, I can't afford to be off work.
Thank you Dr. Tarlow and staff. We appreciate you!

Dr Tarlow has been our family physician for over 10 years. We find him to be kind, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. We never feel he is trying to rush us or push us out the door. He is always willing to address our issues and educate us on our options for treatment. His office is always clean and the staff always tries to get us an appointment that fits our busy schedule. Unfortunately, over the years we have had to see a specialist for corrective surgeries. Dr. Tarlow has always found us the best of the best! We would never consider another physician for our family.

I have been a patient of Dr. T's for 5 plus years now and I love the staff, they are very friendly and helpful. Dr. T is great he is very knowledgeable and takes his time listening to his patients. Over The years he has helped me manage my back and foot pain by teaching me different exercises Vs over medicating myself. The office is clean and well put together. They even have interactive touch screen monitors in the rooms so you can learn about different health topics as you wait.

Dr. Tarlow was great. I was referred by a friend because I just recieved my new Insurance plan and needed a new Dr. I found the staff very friendly and helpfull setting up my appointment. I just finished my my initial visit. He was very attentive and listened to all my issues. I was referred out for several tests I needed and will be seeing him again soon for the results. I feel very confident he will direct me in the right direction. I liked him so much my wife is now scheduling her first appointment.

Avoid this practice at all costs. The doctor will see you for at most 15-minutes and then try to rush you out the door to see the next patient, and guess what you'll have to pay you co-pay again for his 15-mins or time. Although he might not be a bad doctor and might actually know his stuff the way he treats his patients and the way he has his staff treat his patients is what what will likely ruin his practice and shut down his offices in this area.

What a strange man he just sits on a stool looks down, he appears to depend on others for his own thoughts. Hasn't seen many, illness so even though proven it doesn't exist ,seems to be what he thinks. Hard to tell .who needs that. The receptionist Nancy is really nice.

I figured I would write to help balance out some of the negative reviews, as it looks like some people are simply venting(well within their right to).

Dr Tarlow has been my doctor for almost 10 years now. I've never had any issue with him or his staff, they've always been great. He has been key in helping me identify root causes of issues instead of simply treating the symptoms. Excellent in every regard. The best Doctor I've ever had and I can't recommend enough.

The receptionist are so rude. They seem to reallly hate there job and they charge you a fee if you dont show up to appointment even tho they called me to tell me that i couldnt be seen beacuse of my old insurance. You would think having a phone call from them would be clear enough that i wasnt going to show but they fee you anyway since i didnt cancel it myself. They canceled my appoinment for me and i still get fined??? . So dumb. The doctor is nice but i have a bad experience with the front desk everytime. I will be seeking for a new location.

I am not giving the MD a review as I did not meet with him.

I received a call stating that my appointment was today and I called to let them know that I had the appointment for another day in my calendar. I explained that I would be a little late because I had to move my schedule around to accommodate the visit when I thought it was a different day altogether. I who showed up 15 minutes past my scheduled appointment time of 3:45. (In fairness I was a first time pt so I knew there would be paperwork to fill out). When I arrived I was told it was impossible to see the MD...when I asked if I could

I have been coming to Dr. Tarlow for 5 years, he always goes above and beyond. I very rarely have a wait and am generally in and out of the office fairly quickly. I like that he tells me like it is. No sugar coating whatsoever. He takes his time to explain things so that you are fully aware of what is going on. Just today, he came back to his office after leaving for the day so he could add something on to my prescription. That is a great doctor. No they don't. take credit cards but really is it that big of an issue? They just moved to a bigger office and it is a little more modern than

Dr. Tarlow is double booked until the 15th is what I was told when I tried to make an appointment today. After letting them know I had went to an urgent care center yesterday for my heart beating irregularly. I really think problems dealing with the heart need to be taken a little more seriously. All I was told is if it gets worse to go back to the urgent care center or an E.R.

I highly recommend you choose another doctor.

Dr. Gardner Tarlow is a decent doctor, however his office staff and professionalism is horrible. This is now the 2nd time that I've had a billing issue with this office where they code it incorrectly and I'm billed for the wrong amount. I have then chase down the office manager to have her fix it and that is a job in itself.

Also they are way behind the times... nothing is electronic, they do no take credit cards and they make it impossible to cancel your appointment. You can't leave a message and only call when it's convenient for them. So then if you no-show they charge
