Raja Taunk's Online Review Report Card

After being referred to Mr. Taunk by my primary care doctor, he looked at my chart and said, “Wow, you’re 38 and you have never been married or have any children.” Things became increasingly outrageous when returning for a follow up visit. After discussing some medical concerns I was having Mr. Taunk followed up by stating,”Well, I hope you’re not a math teacher.” He then prescribed me a new medication with no explanation. If you are a female or in search of a physician who places priority on your treatment and care, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Do NOT recommend!

I can't see or talk to anyone for weeks. I'm in pain. They tell me to go to the emergency room. So I go. They do tests. The tell me to talk to my GI specialist. I call. I'm told I can't speak to the doctor for a month and I can't even speak to a nurse practitioner for 2 weeks. The are leaving me to suffer with no help. CRAZY !!!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Taunk's for over 5 years. We found him after a hospital stay and a diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis after my previous GI ignored my symptoms and complaints. He has helped me work through my complications with the disease and the medications at every turn. He's very good at explaining things in a way that makes sense to a "normal" person, but is also not afraid to tell it like it is and tell you when you're adversely impacting your own health. He genuinely cares and expresses it. He also keeps your personal health goals in mind while working out a treatment plan, and I can not explain how important that is in a provider. The practice is amazing with communication and scheduling, and having the endo in-house makes it convenient. I just had my sixth colonoscopy with them and although COVID changed some aspects, I never felt abandoned. They have an infusion bay in-house, too, and it makes treatment scheduling easier - PLUS the infusion nurse is AMAZING

Dr Taunk may be a competent surgeon, but he has a total lack of bedside manners, if you desire a pompous, impatient doctor, who chooses to prioritize making money over patient education and best interests - have at it!

Dr. Taunk is the 3rd doctor I've used in this practice (the other two retired over time) and is my favorite by far. He listens and appears to genuinely care. We're still working on solutions and he takes into account my feelings and needs when discussing options. The telemed appointments are great - I don't feel I miss anything by not driving into an office. He's at the top of my list in terms of friendliness, attentiveness to my needs, knowledge. It would be great if all my doctors were like him.

Dr Taunk is amazing in so many ways. First, clinically: He found the root of my debilitating abdominal pain and treated it conservatively to a point of no pain. Second, demeanor: His bedside manner is friendly, assertive and empathetic. Lastly, expertise: He is a mater of his craft, knowing from a little information what is causing the issues you are having. I highly recommend Dr. Taunk and you won't be sorry if you choose him or AA Gastroenterology.

I have had (2) appointments with Dr. Taunk and a colonoscopy/ endoscopy procedure. He and his staff are very professional and caring as well. Thorough tests were ordered to get to the root of the problem and he follows up with a thought out plan. Very happy with Dr. Taunk and the practice.

Dr. Taunk is extremely caring, personable and professional. He is patient and explained expectations and outcomes completely. I came to him after an unpleasant experience with another doctor and I am so glad I did; the difference is like night and a bright summer day. I would highly recommend Dr. Taunk to anyone in need of an excellent endocrinologist; he is the BEST.

Just completed my second tel-med visit with Dr. Taunk; a follow up to an endoscopy. The results were great and I could not be happier with Dr.Taunk. My previous physician did not demonstrate the care and concern that Dr. Taunk has provided (possibly misdiagnosed by previous dr) I am so glad my primary care physician recommended Dr. Taunk, he is the best! Patient, kind, personable and professional!
