Dr. David Talmadge, MD

My condition was and remains complex and unusual. Dr. T clearly explained his proposed treatment plan and then tried a number of infusions for 90 days each. Finally, the 4th 'biologic' dramatically reduced my pain while increasing my mobility. Due in part to massive Agent Orange exposure there is no long term 'cure', as he also carefully explained. But he has given me 10 years of mobility, and I will be forever grateful. He can come across sometimes as gruff or lacking a warm and fuzzy bedside manner. But he knows his stuff. He does care. And he can be very very funny. Highly recommend.

Helped my husband be mobile again. One evening he was suddenly unable to get off the sofa. He had difficulty walking; sometimes having to crawl over the floor and his hands were swollen like lobster claws rendering him unable to take care of his daily activities, as well as other symptoms. Other doctors couldn't figure it out. When Dr Talmadge read the referral, he offered to see my husband early in the morning when he was supposed to begin his vacation. Dr. Talmadge has helped him immensely. My husband has been seeing him for a few years now & continues to do so. Great medical puzzle solver!

Dr. Talmadge was prepared for my visit by having x-rays pre-analyzed and meds reviewed.

This doctor likes to think he is friendly enough but he has a god complex and acts like he know it all he does not. he looks a me and lies to my face about knowing things. he said he talked to my other doctor but my other doctor said he never called him about me. this is so frustrating when I am trying to get my pills . he says he knows my condition but I know he dows not and he did not talk to my other VA doctor about me he cant know.

He didn’t bother to listen thoroughly or evaluate the reason why I was in his clinic and has no intention of doing so which clearly shows he has no true concern for my health and well being.
