Leslie Tar, Esq., LLC

This review is about Dr. Tar’s staff and overall experience. Dr. Tar might be an excellent physician but his staff is a hot mess and they lie. I’ve been an established patient for years, and always compliant. I’ve not missed appointments. I’ve always gotten my lab work done and even the yearly eye exam that’s required. A month ago I had to cancel my appointment and reschedule it and the soonest they could get me in was the 17th of this month, not a problem except my medication ran out. I called three times in one week requesting a refill just enough to get me through to the 17th. The staff said they passed on messages and someone would call back, but nobody ever called me back. The third time I called I explained to the lady we’re going into the weekend and the medication I take is something that can’t be skipped and that nobody had called me back etc. She asked me if I’d had my eye exam done and I said of course everything’s done and she said she would have to call the eye doctor because they didn’t receive the results, which is a chronic problem with their office. I gave her the eye doctor information and I told her I had the results with me to bring to my appointment as well. I also told her that a physician can’t let you go without medicine AND deny you an appointment sooner. They have to choose one or the other.. because that’s patient abandonment. The day before my appointment I get a discharge letter. No phone call, no explanation in the letter, just find another doctor in 30 days. Of course I called back today and you can never speak to the physician. She said she would send a message to have him call me back but of course there was no phone call back. If the staff is lying I’ll never know. I really thought Dr. Tar was more on top of things and unfortunately even if he called to apologize it would be too little too late. Additionally, when I went to the pharmacy to ask if they had called my medicine in the first thing they said was Oh Dr. Tar’s office, always a problem. The last appointment I had a few months ago. I had told him that his secretary never gave him the message when I had a lupus flare up and my primary care physician had to prescribe my rheumatology medicines. He stated she had been fired. There was a stable staff. In the last 6 months there has not been. Hopefully he sees this review.
