Tarek Persaud's Online Review Report Card

After two office visits which took in excess of 4 hours I only saw the Dr for 12 minutes. That is to say about six minutes per visit. If your appointment time is at 10 AM, do not expect to be seen by Dr. Persaud until 11:20 AM minimum. In the Huntsville office the staff do not introduce themselves or explain what service they will perform for you. In the Madison office the staff are quite good about identifying themselves and kindly explaining what they were doing to you as a patient. The Huntsville office, meaning the space is old, disorganized and ill kept. The Madison office is newer, clean and much less disorderly. However, the wait time is just as long at each location. I did some analysis while I was waiting and of the five patients I spoke with, all waiting 1.5 hours or more they had appointments within 10 minutes of each other. Expect more from your care providers, demand better. They schedule appointments too closely together and you as the consumer pay the price!

While he is knowledgeable, he is lacking bedside manner and is very cold in care. I am no longer comfortable with being his patient. He makes me feel like I am wasting his prestigious time. My vision with my disease does not seem to be important to him. Appears arrogant. Seeking another doctor. While knowledge is very important...so am I.

Dr. Persaud was very helpful, knowledgeable, and interested in my condition. I felt at ease immediately with him, he spent time with me and answered all my questions. He was very encouraging to me when I had concerns about my eye. I would highly recommend Dr. Persaud to anyone!

Dr Persaud was patient and explained the procedure and post op in detail. He was not in a big fat hurry either. I appreciated that.

Dr. Persaud treated my rather significant retinal detachment. What impressed me from the start was that he said to me, "I'm sorry this happened to you." He understood how devastating this was. He operated on it and gave excellent follow up care. I could not ask for better.

This doctor may be technically competent, but lacks basics social skills such as respect and politeness to other humans. Downright rude. Seeking new doctor

This doctor lacks basic social skills such as courtesy, politeness, and respect. He was arrogant, disrespectful, and rude. No need for this kind of behavior.

Lacks common courtesy. Downright rude.

My mom..Mamie Gowen.. has been under the excellent care of Dr. Persaud for years due to her macular degenerative issues. .He is very professional, knowledgeable, caring, and patient to spend time answering questions and giving helpful advice on our level!..His staff is wonderful as well. .we can't say enough about how "blessed" we feel to be under his care! !..Cheryl Sullivan..daughter and caregiver

Tarek was put-off by my presence. After a 3 minute rant of what was not wrong with me, he asked if he had covered what I needed. I said no and things went more sour from there. He walked out the room without a salutation.
