An Outstanding Dr.
My wife is the one being seen ,however, after taking my wife to medical appointments with varying specialists for 20yrs, we have seen enough to formulate well based opinions. Dr Ta truly lives up to his expertise and really does listen to your needs. We drive over 1hr just to see him. We truly appreciate his expert medical advice and treatment plans and he has made a major positive impact to her QoL. We highly recommend coming to see him.

Made the appointment 4 months in advance, they called me on the Friday before my appointment while I was at work telling me I needed to confirm for my appointment Monday morning, I called back and left a message with their staff confirming it. But when I arrived Monday they said they had cancelled it and couldn?t get me in. They were condescending and rude. Avoid this place like the plague.

Excellent Rheumatologist-Knowledgable, Persistent
I have had great success with Dr. Ta's treatment plan. I have had improved quality of life and the medication treatment plan has changed according to needs. Dr. Ta is incredibly knowledgeable and prioritizes patient care. Even when I found myself unwell during a treatment, he stayed with me which I was really surprised. He also worked with insurance to get me the treatment I really needed. He coordinates well with my other doctors so it doesn't feel like I have to do all the work and cross-communication between my primary and other specialists. Front of house has been excellent so far as well.

Excellent Dr and friendly staff
I have been seeing Dr Ta for 5 years for Scleroderma and he is very nice and caring. Currently I''m having puzzling symtoms and lab results, but he has not given up on me and continues to try and help me. His office staff are always friendly and I would highly recommend his office. My husband also sees him for PMR and he thinks the virtual visits are great for his schedule.

Compassionate doctor who treats you like family
If I could give Dr. Ta 10 stars, I would. I got to WA in really bad shape, weighing 76 pounds (I'm 50 yrs old), bed ridden for over a yr..when I called his office, he immediately accepted me as a patient. I can describe my experience in 4 words:He saved my life. Dr. Ta is a very kind, caring, compassionate human being who treats his patients as family. He's always available even if it's not your appointment day. He finds the way to see you, even if it's after working hrs. He's a doctor who is here to serve others. And this is what makes him so special & sets him apart from other rheumatologists in our state.Under his care, I can finally say that I have achieved quality of life & he got me up from bed & wheelchair in no time. He always has time to listen & will never cut you off until all your questions are answered. I recommend him 200%.

His explanations are clear and thorough, and his advice has consistently provided comfort and reassurance to my wife. We hold Dr. Ta in high regard for his dedication and expertise in managing her condition.

Dr, great office staff horrible!
an office in Bellevue. You would think that they would have computer system, but everything was done in paper. The nurse didn’t know how to spell anything and had to look everything up and ask me how to spell things. The doctor was great the nurses and the medical assistance, and the receptionist not so much, my husband brought me in and then went to the car and went to come back and they were going to call security because he wasn’t allowed to go back in the room even though I requested him to come back! It’s too bad that you get a good doctor in the office. Staff is so bad that you have to go somewhere else. When calling about my medication medical assistant had to call me back three times just about calling in the prescription at a different milligram. I don’t have confidence in that staff. However, the doctor is great.

A rare find
I am so thankful for Dr Ta and his expertise. He has helped me immensely with auto immune disorder. I had constant pain in multiple joints for years. Under his care, I feel completely heard and seen every visit. His calm demeanor and compassion make for a great provider.

Best rheumatologist out thete
I never thought that I would EVER have a rheumatologist as wonderful as my beloved retired rheumatologist—but Dr. Ta is truly caring and compassionate. I feel well cared for, and I know that if I experience a severe or life-threatening flare, that I am in great hands. I have SLE, SJS, and fibromyalgia, and I must be under the care of a rheumatologist. If you are looking for a wonderful and incredibly bright rheumatology, I would look no further.

An exceptional rheumatologist
My father is a patient of Dr. Ta for the last 2 years. He started out not being able to walk or perform basic daily living routines without much difficulty. After being treated by Dr. Ta, my father is back to his normal self, being active, working on his garden for hours every day, rain or shine. Dr Ta deserves a platinum medal from our family.
