My second visit in the last 3? Years with Tarek Siala. My appointment was late In the day...and I did not feel at all rushed by him. You feel like he really cares.

Tarek is unbelievable. Super easy to talk to and I always feel like he has my best interest at heart. I will not see anyone else if I can help it. I've been to a few other providers at this office and he is by far the best!

Could not have asked or recived better care. Above board explained everything to me so I understood the issue I was having with my ears. He checked out my ears, and used something (do not remember what he called it) ears felt better, He had me pick up meds to work on issue, and had me see him a week later to see how meds were working. Also told me that if my ears start to get another infection to call office and set up another appointment. The year before I was in there I was rushed through and no follow up was suggested. He is one to keep for the record cause with him around the health care system can inprove through U of R. I wish he could be permint with strong at u of r. I never meet him outside of u of r but he is the type of doctor some one could share issues of medical nature and not feel judge
