Dr. Tanika Day, MD

I scratched my chest in an embarrassing area and it's infected. Dr. Day took the time to listen to a backstory that was quite involved. I plan to use her as my GP -- she was just so kind, warm, empathetic and professional. Dr. Day also was quick to diagnose and explain the perscribed medication fully.

Dr. Day a great option for me when I first moved to the area, however over the years, her bedside manner had diminished to condescending and a lazy attitude towards my health concerns started to show. I would come to her for asking for help with various health issues(stomach pains leg numbness) to be told that what I am experiencing is not an emergency or even a real issue, and was also told that if I didn't want to feel any pain or issues in my life then I should start with eliminating lifestyle choices like nicotine intake or a therapist for that pesky anxiety I had documented. Upon going to get a second opinion at a public emergency clinic, I would then be told about early signs of MS, and endometriosis.Because she herself is a woman of color like me, I expected her to take my healthcare seriously and to understand how it feels to be overlooked, but it seems as though her concerns only go as far as her billable appointments and handing off a cliche pamphlet for a healthy lifestyle.

Dr. Day is hands down the best physician I've ever had thus far. She is very attentive to my needs and extremely patient. She makes me feel as if I'm her only patient. She also possesses a bedside manner of which is a lost art in our day in time. What I love the most about her is that she's very accessible through my Johns Hopkins patient portal which is called "MyChart". May be hard for new patients to solicit her services because she's booked up and once you become her patient you never leave!

Dr. Day is patient with me and always puts my best interest(s) first. Suggesting follow-up care and providing referrals as needed.
