Overall good experience.
Dr. Tatara is always very personable. At the same time, he moves along and gets things done efficiently.
Very good
He diagnosed and prescribed accurately
Very good experience.
No problems. The physician was very helpful. Thank you.
dr Tatara spent even more time with my dad than usual. He chatted with my dad about his work (from years ago) and dr T shared a bit about his fathers work. dr t is always very patient with my 98 year old father and gives good practical medical advice.
always good.
I was really impressed with Dr. Tatara. this was my first visit with him and he made me feel very comfortable.
Excellent, very helpful
I feel his medical knowledge is current and trustworthy

I am very satisfied with all services provided by Dr. Tatara.
I have contacted via email Dr. Tatara and he has promptly responded.
Dr. Tamara is overall helpful and interested in my health. He is efficient in the appointment.
Dr. Tatara listened ! Made you feel cared for ! Very attentive!
He's very professional. He makes your life easy. Overall, he's a solid doctor.
He's just overall solid. I had a good experience with him.
Very happy with provider - but - I called to have this video appointment. Still use certain the purpose! But did ask some questions about virus.
The visit was very good.
Everything was very good.
all good
I did not want to go in to a doctor's office during the pandemic but my ears were very clogged with wax and I needed to have them irrigated. (it is something that I have had to do in the past and because of the situation, kept putting it off) I felt that all precautions were taken and I am glad that I went in to see Dr. Tatara.
Very good experience.
I trust and feel confident in Dr. Tatara
he is a good doctor
Getting through to the office for appointment and for questions was impossible. I waited more than 1 HOUR & then left my # for call back which never came. Called next day & got someone in office. Apparently when office in Downers Grove forwards their phones. Call backs don't always happen.
I am very happy with Dr. Tatara - he has taken over for Dr. X who retired. The people working at desk very friendly & helpful.
I find my experience with Dr. Tatara very professional - having the blood test facility in same building very convenient -
It was the first time visiting Dr. Tatara so we talked about my condition & problem I was having and gave me good solutions.
I like my doctor
dr.tatara i s the best... he anwers my questions and does a remarkable job..
good
The Dr is awesome. By chance, neighbor recommended Dr. Tataro. I'm am very happy with the Dr. He got me back on track with all my health concerns and even those that I took granted. Dr X picked a good one to take his practice over.
Good experience. Received follow up call. His attention to detail is remarkable, and he was also up to date on my history.
excellent expirence for that visit.
very good
It seems like healthcare has gotten away from the routine stuff when you go in for a visit. Doctors don't typically check for eyes ears nose and throat or listen to your chest unless you ask which is disappointing. I know it's time-consuming and I know in today's medical care that all takes extra time. But could that help prevent something or you might see the wax buildup in the ears of the elderly or see something in the throat that's coming on. So I find myself asking each time I come in for the doctor to check my chest. I have a heart problem.
Very calm and pleasant manner.
Everyone is always very pleasant and easy to work with. Very happy with them.
Was squeezed into Dr. Tatara's schedule Sunday evening due to severe flu symptoms without difficulty - seen right on time. EVERYONE at office friendly & professional.
Nurse that we spoke to Sunday evening way EXCELLENT! Dr. Tatara knew my wife, medical history & expressed concerns & introductory if she exhibited flu symptoms.
There was no discrimination. How refreshing to have such a seasoned, thorough, thoughtful, understanding, & so qualified doctor to be an internist! We live in Chicago Land (Downer's Grove) but instead of feeling like big city felt small town visit with your doctor. He cares, non-judgmental, & great bed side manner.
everything was great.
This was my first visit as a new patient, and this doctor displayed all the qualities one would want in a health provider. He was friendly, seemed interested in me as a person as well as a patient, and discussed my health needs in a way I had no problem understanding. He was responsive to questions and made a point of assuring me that someone was always available for questions or urgent visits. All in all, he made me feel that I had made a good decision in choosing this doctor for my care.
Very good.He was very Thorough
I lost my primary care provider due to retirement and this was the first visit with this doctor. I am very pleased to be one of his patients and hope to have a long association with him.
Excellent experience, it is sometimes stressful to begin a relationship with a new doctor and he made a very good experience.
Dr. Tatara is a kind and caring provider. He takes time to listen and answer my questions.
Dr. Tatara is not the closest doctor (distance), however, he is worth the drive.
I use my patient portal to communicate questions or concerns to Dr. Tatara. Dr. T usually responds within hours.
Above average
I was satisfied with my first experience with this provider.
Very professional, he was nice.
A very good doctor. Listens to my questions.
Good visit and good experience
Dr. Tatara was very helpful.
Great
dr Tatara is first rate. he is setting the standards that all doctors should follow
very professional and courteous
excellent experience as always when seeing this provider
The provider is knowledgeable but I felt rushed and that the provider was dismissive of my concerns.
dr Mark made me feel very comfortable, it was my first visit with him
dr Mark is a very nice person, and great dr.
I got a same day appointment with this doctor because my regular doctor was on vacation. I was impressed and grateful that I could see him that quickly.
Dr. Tatara got me in for an appointment, saving me a possible trip to the urgent care or ER. We saved on the cost, the wait, testing and Medicine Hat might have been prescribed at the ER.
We were thankful he called us and encouraged us to come in, and thankfully, correctly diagnosing the situation.
Excellent
Very Professional and attentive.
Excellent experience. I was treated with dignity and respect by all personal.
Good experience.
Very good experience, I was treated as person in need for medical attention. All people I had contacted are good professionals.
This was a routine yearly wellness checkup, and was done professionally and satisfactorily.
Overall very positive experience.
HE was concerened about me as I had been ill for several days.
I liked the idea that his staff took the time to even return my call.
Thoughtful and considerate
Great.
Best doctor I've had in a very long time. No waiting to get in. He listened patiently to my long list of issues, providing thoughtful advice for each. Called promptly with lab results. I'm delighted to have found him. Far exceeded expectations.
Dr Mark is an excellent doctor. he is very knowledgeable and personable. I have confidence in him as my heath care provider.
great experience
Dr. Tatara has an excellent "bedside" manner. He listens, provides information and is reassuring.
I was very impressed that Dr. Tatara called me with the results of my urinalysis test.
I feel that Dr. Tatara cares about his patients.
It was my annual physical exam and it went well.
Just fine. It was a check in to be sure that I needed the prescription meds that I was taking and was taking them appropriately. I appreciate that. I appreciate that Dr. T. doesn't "push" my meds and does talk with me about alternatives to medications and ways to keep a healthy lifestyle.
Good experience overall. I'm just disappointed that all providers have so little time to spend with their patients. Dr. T. is no exception either way. He has great patient attentiveness, and I appreciate him. I wish insurance allowed more time.
Dr Tatera was polite a good listener and helpful.
Our visit was good.
Thorough friendly Doctor. female PA not friendly & did not introduce herself to me. I had to ask the male PA what his name was; neither were very friendly
had positive experience
he was helpful and knowledgeable. Took time with me and not in a hurry.
