Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Tarpe was attentive, kind, conversational, and truly interested in me not just as a patient, but as a person. I felt heard and valued.

Will not return
She did not seem to know what she was talking about. I was hoping for advice and direction and did not get that. Also is not totally transparent when it’s your health under discussion. Will not be returning and if avoid if possible.

Gulnara Tarpe is an excellent doctor with years of experience whom I have recently begun seeing. She is professional, patient, and very funny! She's easy to get along with and I feel confident asking any type of question from physicals to seeking referrals to even anxiety and stress problems. You can tell she's passionate about her job and helping her patients stay healthy and happy. I'm so happy she's my doctor!!! Also, her staff is attentive and very kind.

Dr. Tarpe is the only doctor in recent memory who has given me virtually unlimited time for my office visits, and has followed up with other docs (and my insurance company) afterward to ensure my needs are addressed. Her staff is equally helpful. I was concerned about seeing a DO, but am now realizing that I probably couldn't have made a better choice.

Dr. Tarpe was the first doctor I've ever seen who took the time to really understand some health challenges I am facing. She had a sophisticated understanding of my issues and was also extremely empathic. Most importantly, however, she's a great doctor who has helped me feel much better.

This lady is not very knowledgeable doesn't know what your talking about. Only reason I saw her was because my primary was busy and she was the only one available. But speaking to her is not helpful as you tell her what wrong and she wants to diagnosis you and tell you what you have. When you tell her that's not the system you have she still prints out info on what you told her you don't have. I'm sure she is a great person but I need a doctor that knows his or her stuff

Dr. Tarpe is a breath of fresh air. It is very rare that a doctor really takes time to understand the issues and to provide an honest opinion. I was impressed with how direct she was with making sure I was doing the right thing. She doesn't just want to prescribe a medication and move on. I felt like she really wanted to help me. I trust her -- and I've never been able to say that about a doctor before. Thanks, Dr. I will definitely be bring my family back.

I had to see Dr Tarpe as my primary care physician was booked. She barely glanced at what I had come in to have her take a look at, told me people with diabetes have similar eye issues - i don't have diabetes and my blood work is in my chart as it was done within the last year. She was dismissive and not helpful.
