Patient Reviews
Apr 08, 2026
Been a patient of Tafich for a year and I have never met a doctor less interested in doing his job. I asked him to eval me for an autoimmune issue as ALL of my other doctors say it's clear I have one, and he shut me down and said I don't have one, which he can't know without running tests, which he refuses to do. I asked for help getting back on EBT because I need a letter saying I'm disabled and despite him treating several of my disabling medical issues he refuses. He claims he's not allowed to prescribe any meds, even non-narcotics, which doesn't make sense, most of the conditions he sees are always treated with medication. He also barely lets you get a word in, contradicts you constantly, and when I told him I'd already tried to see an allergist and been turned away, he very rudely asked me what I did wrong and insisted I'd messed up somehow and this was all my fault. I cannot recommend anyone go here for anything.
