I've been going to Dr. Tatelman for years now and she is fantastic. The reviews are correct, she is extremely thourough, writes every detail down and actually listens, and will bring up things from past visits to make sure it's been resolved. I was in Mexico and needed to be hospitalized. I wrote down everything they put in my body just in case. When I came home, I went straight to her and to my surprise, she was fluent in Spanish as well! She also listens. I was sluggish, tired, and had no energy. She kept hinting at depression, but I told her I would consider that if we could do all the blood tests to make sure there isnt anything else wrong with me. She not only was able to find out what was wrong with me, but we worked on a plan to get my numbers back in range. Also, she asks if I'm sticking to my regimen every follow up. read more

Maybe it could be noted that this person is not taking new patients; made an appt in July for Oct and the day of scheduled appt it was cancelled, very poor customer relations read more

I saw Dr. Tatleman for immigration medical exam. It was easy to secure the appointment and a breeze to get the exam done. She explained everything I needed to do and her messaging system is pretty efficient if you have any further questions. A big clap for her receptionist Mimi who is not only a super friendly person but her genuity shines through her smile and words. Everytime I called the office, my call was returned within 30 minutes of leaving the voicemail and she tried to squeeze me in at the earliest, given the hard time limit in matters of immigration. She gave me an immunization shot so nicely that I didn't even feel a thing, undoubtedly the most happy and helpful person I've met at a doctor's office. My turn-around time for all reports and sealed results for USCIS was 4 days. They have a LabCorp right in the office so it's easy to get everything done at one place. read more

I was recommend this doctor to me by my friend. She knew I was looking for a PCP. The staff here are wonderful. I love the energy the front desk has. Doctor Tatelman listened to what my concerns were. Gave me recommendation for other doctors for my issues. Would recommend going to her! read more

Dr. Tatelman's office is a delight for many reasons:- a) She is an independent physician i.e. she is not employed by Sutter, PAMF, Dignity or Stanford, which makes her clinical care more patient-centered rather than health system centered. Health systems only want to suck your wallet dry. b) Her practice is a one-stop-shop for all annual health screening needs for women of all ages. She does pap-smear and prescribes breast imaging, glucose, cholesterol, and BP tests. c) Before COVID, her practice had a LabCorp, which made blood draw easy d) She prefers to communicate via the EHR messaging system, which is efficient. e) She follows up on the test results and explains the results clearly. f) She has impeccable bed-side manner which is rare in physicians these days. She is very patient-centered in her interaction. The only word of advice for her - include mental health screening as women might be experiencing depression and anxiety during these times. read more

I've known Dr. Tatelman for several years both as her colleague and as her patient. She is incredibly caring and knowledgeable with everything related to health. She will take the time to talk to you, get to know you, and help you stay healthy. In addition, she is very responsive to to emails and phone calls. Highly recommend! read more

I found Dr. Tatelman and Mimi when my elderly mother moved in with me from the east coast. My mother had numerous health issues from severe debilitating arthritis, a degenerated hip and high blood pressure to emerging memory loss and depression. Have experienced nothing but the best of care, understanding and support from the doctor and Mimi. These 2 people work smoothly and synchronously as a team. Mimi is efficient (perhaps some other reviewers read that as curt or unfriendly) and if I need something, I try to operate with that in mind, meaning I try to be as specific and concise as possible and have all my information ready. Dr. Tatelman listens and then talks to my mother and I in clear, minimal technical terms so my mother and I get a clear picture. She is the doctor I turn to for management/understanding of all my mother's medications from the 4 or 5 specialists that she also goes to. Nothing has ever fallen through or been forgotten. If I need something, I leave a message or talk to Mimi and know I will get an answer and the help I need. read more

I've only seen Dr. Tatelman once, but I was really happy with the visit. Good: - Easy to make an appointment - Friendly staff - Comfortable waiting area, with women-friendly, health-friendly reading materials - Decent bedside manner - Seems actually interested in the patient as a person - Open to any questions or concerns - Doesn't seem to be in a big hurry to leave - Treats the patient as a whole person, not as a medical condition Bad: - Gave me a referral to a dermatologist who I hated (but she also gave me two other names, and it could be that I just picked the wrong one!) I am glad to have found Dr. Tatelman as my primary physician and I look forward to going back to visit her. read more

Pros: Easy to find/close to my house Receptionist, Mimi, was lovely Dr Tatelman saw me on very short notice (45 mins after calling I was in the office) Cons: Questioned the health standards: there were urine specimins right next to the chair where I was getting blood taken (not mine). Call me crazy, but this was gross. Dr Tatelman kept asking ME what I want her to do. I do not know...that is why I am here. Overall, I have experienced better. read more

I went to Dr Joyce's clinic for my annual preventive care end of 2013. Although I requested to have only the procedures covered under my medical insurance, I ended up receiving a medical bill over $700 for uncovered procedures. My experience thereafter with the clinic to settle my insurance claims was not very pleasant. Although the clinic helped me to call insurance companies a couple of times (I called the insurance company numerous times), the clinic assistant put me on hold on the phone for several minutes in the middle of our call. During my followup calls, the assistant told me she had no time to talk to me on phone and asked me to go to clinic in person to submit simple information. I wasted both money and time for my doctor visit last year. read more

Great MD, super friendly staff. Did immigration exam, everyone was very professional and up to date with all the regulations

I found Dr. Tatelman through the blue shield network.... I am happy with her so far, seen her a few times since 2010.... she is humble, seems to really care and listens attentively. office was easy to find..... Receptionist is nice. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Tatelman's for a year, and I am happy with her thorough, kind and responsive manner. She definitely goes above and beyond- I recently saw some specialists for a different issue, and Dr. Tatelman even took the time to proactively message me once she received the visit notes. read more

Dr. Tatelman has been my primary care physician for almost eight years. She is an excellent doctor with superb listening skills. I always feel comfortable discussing my health with her and never feel rushed. She always listens, offers me suggestions, and go back to my medical history whenever needed. Communicating online with Dr. Tatelman is also easy; she uses Elation Passport and she responses promptly. One time, I had an urgent medical issue, she even took the time to inform my Specialist of my situation so I could get the treatment sooner. Her assistant Mimi is very attentive, friendly and on top of things. Most doctor offices have multiple staff, so I am always amazed by this dual-team taking care of many patients so efficiently and effectively. Moreover, Dr. Tatelman's clinic shares the same office with LabCorp, making lab work very convenient. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Tatelman as my doctor and I highly recommend her. read more

The doc is fantastic, professional, responsive and very helpful. I would make her my primary in a jiffy. However, her support staff at the office could be far better. 1. I was covered as a student under BCBS of Massachusetts and found her through their in-network. I took my insurance card and gave it to the receptionist (Mimi) asking her if I am covered. Upon confirmation, I went ahead with my annual physical only to receive a $715 lab bill a month later. Turns out I was not covered. The doc helped me tremendously to reduce those charges but those dozens of calls and emails could have been avoided if the receptionist was more careful. 2. I wasn't even informed about the office charges until I specifically called the doc's billing center. Found out it was another $325. Again, the doc helped me reduce it but I had to call the billing center contact every time (got her number from the reception) to send me receipts and updates. She wouldn't send me anything on her own. I am really not sure how patients are told of their pending charges unless they call! read more

Dr. Tatelman had been my primary doctor for almost 10 years until last year when I moved to southern CA. She is a very good doctor, very caring. She sent me my blood test results when I was leaving for southern CA, to make sure I find a new doctor to recheck some of the items. And now almost a year later, CVS somehow sent a refill request to her, she refilled the prescription for me and had her assistant call me, to make sure I find a new doctor here. read more

Ive been seeing Dr. Tatelman for the last five months and she's awesome! She's very professional and understanding. She's also great at recommending referrals and her advise thats been very helpful. I'm so happy I found her & Mimi. read more

Making appointment was easy. The receptionist, Mimi, was super friendly. She is also good with injection. They have quite a comfortable office. The location wasn't too bad too. It was easy to find and parking is also not an issue. I felt I made the right decision choosing Dr Tatelman. She is very friendly and attentive. I would recommend her! However, please notice that for immigration purposes, they don't accept insurance. read more

Always friendly and very helpful. Dr Tatelman is wonderful and so is Mimi (she gives the best injections!).

This review is for the office staff. Sorry there is no other place for me to do so. It may not be fair to Dr. Tatelman. But it is related to her clinics. I made a phone call Wednesday afternoon trying to make an appointment with the Dr. Got a voice mail asking me to leave message. No call back after one day. I almost forgot that I called. Two days later (on the third day), got a call from the office staff. Hearing that I already went to see another doctor, the staff had a very joyful "Great", then hang up. Come on staff, do you know how much it could happen after two days? You are too busy to be able to return a call within one day or even the next day? Please remember where your pay check comes from. Dr. Tatelman, perhaps you are an excellent doctor. But your reputation is ruined by your office staff. read more

Dr Tatelman is a lovely, caring and attentive doctor who I would recommend to anyone. She saw me at short notice, called to check on me more than once and went out of her way to help me. I was so impressed with Dr Tatelman and her super friendly assistant, Mimi, and am really glad I chose this doctor's office! They both put me at ease when I was in pain and far from home. I would definitely return if I needed a doctor again. read more

Dr. Tatelman is very, very attentive. She listens to all your complaints. And she made right decisions for me so far. And she really cares. One time I was really sick she even called me on a weekend to see how I'm doing! I was in bad pain and in a need of meds - she wasn't sure they are safe for me so she called a specialist and called me back with a "yes" - on Sunday evening! But I was in pain and she cared! And she cares enough to reach a specialist, if needed, to make the right decision. She is easy to make an appointment with, too, if you have something urgent. Say, once I found a lump in my breast and I had to leave town next day for two weeks - these things can easily wait that long but if you're a woman you know how scary it might be - so she saw me next day so that I don't worry all this time! And her assistant, Mimi, is the best!!! Very friendly, very accommodating, very happy and very professional. read more

Dr. T. has been my GP since Oct. 2011. Her work hours are short, but she has seen me right away whenever it was needed. She listens very carefully and contributes good insights and suggestions. I've also seen her use the web effectively as we talk to give her additional information on a new topic. She has told me that I can use her emergency phone number when needed. She is willing to take the central role with all my varied specialists from different practices and different towns. And, she accepts Medicare. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Tatelman for around 5 years now. 1). I can get appts when needed. When I've had urgent issues, the nurse/assistant Mimi has always managed to squeeze me in to be seen 2). Dr Tatelman sits down and truly listens at appts. Her approach is not the standard one, where you feel the dr going quickly through the decision tree to get through your appt and to the next one. Dr Tatelman takes the time to listen inside and sort out what is needed. She refers me out to other practitioners as needed, and I've been super happy with the specialists she sent me to. She shows that she cares about patients and gives her full attention 3). Mimi is very efficient at balancing all the different directions she gets pulled by her role. She's professional and a positive energy taking BP and vitals and history; she juggles the calendar and time needed to get me seen; she follow through on paperwork and sends on the forms when I've needed that (other offices usually make the patient do it, or need follow up--Mimi Gets it Done!) read more

Great doctor. Very calm and a very caring attitude. She listens to you and gives you many options. Her nurse assistant Mimi is a gem of a person. read more
