Dr.Debra Tarantino performed emergency surgery following a perforated colon performed from a routine colonoscopy. She explained the procedure in detail and reassured me that the I was going to get through this. Dr. Tarantino visited every morning in the hospital bright and early. She entered my room with a smile on her beautiful face. I am actually looking forward to seeing no her this week to follow up.

poor bedside manner. Unprofessional This doctor can not handle her pts getting second opinions for what I considered a serious surgery. Basically kicked me out because she was made aware that I went for a second opinion. Should not be working with the public. She is degrading and should be ashamed of her behavior.

Dr. Tarantino is an amazing surgeon! If it wasn’t for her, I would not have ever gotten my reversal surgery. She’s a great doctor and I can’t thank her enough for her care and wonderful bedside manners. She really does take the time to talk and listen to you. I’m so glad I decided to get a second opinion. I was not happy with my last surgeon so I’m glad I found her ??

I was not happy with my experiences whatsoever. She was rude, condescending and had no bedside manner. My concerns were disregarded and I felt as though I were being a burden to her. However, the staff is excellent.

I can’t thank Dr. Tarantino enough for all she has done for me. I was in the dark until I visited her. She is very experienced, considerate and kind. She suggested the best course for my case, nonetheless well informed us about her alternative plan too. Her professional expertise has made my life much better and brighter. She is an excellent surgeon. I trust her and highly recommend her.

Knowledgeable, personable, compassionate. Makes a colonoscopy as good as it can be. I am a nurse and recommend her to all my friends and family.

She's extremely rude. I went in for a routine exam and she basically told me what I already knew. I had asked for medicine that I had used years back and her response was no and that if I wanted that medication I should go back to the doctor who originally gave me that medicine. Then I get a massive bill from her office for services she didn't even do. She's a horrible person.
