Garrett J. Tallman's Online Review Report Card

Had a great experience with Dr. Tallman and his staff. Very professional and straight forward. He treated me for a severe ankle & leg fracture. I called several friends who are professional athletes before I had my surgery and Dr. Tallman's name kept coming up. He was very clear about the extent of my injury, what needed to be done as well as reasonable expectations of my recovery. My surgery went really well with no complications. I would highly recommend Dr. Tallman.

From my first phone call to my current status as a recovered patient, I was assisted with a welcoming greeting and a smile at every appointment. Kris is the friendliest Front Desk person I've ever met. My Physician Assistant is very thorough and caring. Dr. Tallman did an amazing job on my surgery.

Dr. Tallman performed surgery on my ankle. The surgery was a complete success due to his expertise and experience. The recovery was smooth and every detail was attended to with care. All throughout the post surgery months with a splint, cast and boot, I was confident that my goals would be met and I would be back on my feet. Dr. Tallman, the PA and office staff were extremely professional, friendly and patient as I asked question after question about the process. Thank you so much.

Dr. Tallmen and his entire staff were great! Professional and friendly! From the first visit through the surgery and post operation visits for my rotator cuff repair, everything was done skillfully and in timely manner.Thank you!!!

I am extremely fortunate to have been recommended to see Dr. Tallman. He was very easy to talk to and express my concerns. I had a severely damaged foot and after surgery he gave me a new lease on my ability to be mobile again! The surgery went eight hours. I am so grateful to have had him as my surgeon!! My foot was fractured in several places. I am feeling great and back to taking long walks on the beach with my wife! Thanks to a great surgeon. I will be forever grateful to him and his staff and recommend him to all my friends and family!

I ruptured my achilles tendon this past January. Dr. Tallman was highly recommended by a neighbor (who is a family practice doctor at Scripps Encinitas). I called and was able to get an appointment with Dr. Tallman that same day (on a Friday) and scheduled for surgery the following Thursday. I have now had 7 appointments at Dr. Tallman’s office (the initial evaluation, surgery, 2 wk post-op, 4 wk, 6 wk, 10 wk, 16 wk) and have been very impressed with Dr. Tallman and his staff. Everyone is very professional and friendly. I have not yet fully recovered (am 53 yrs old, so the recovery process is slower) but feel that Dr. Tallman did a very good job repairing my ruptured achilles. He also did the stitches in a manner to minimize the scarring which I really appreciate. I learned after the fact that Dr. Tallman is one of the most experienced/well-regarded foot & ankle specialists in the San Diego area. I would definitely go to Dr. Tallman again & recommend him to others

I broke my collar bone in 2 places on a Sunday after an unusual mountain bike crash. My daughter had a good experience with Dr. Tallman so I called and left a message with his service over the weekend to see if I could get in. Surprisingly, they called me right back and said Dr. Tallman could see me Monday morning. Good thing since I had a couple of bones clicking around in my shoulder. He assessed things and made me feel comfortable a repair would be the best fix. I had surgery 8 days later at the Carlsbad Surgery Center which was efficient and easy. After 9 weeks of healing and continuous follow-up and x-rays, my bones had all grown in. A couple of weeks of PT and I'll be done. The experience was excellent. I could tell after waking up from surgery, the repair had been successful. Dr. Tallman's office was extremely efficient and communicative. His PA and assistant Brian and Kyle were very knowledgeable and focused. This is an exceptional group of professionals who know their business and handle their patients with excellent care. I would recommend Dr. Tallman for anything orthopedic.
