Dr. Tashi explained answers to my questions very well. I like that he can get into some detail when he sees that I'm interested in learning more about my condition. He spent some time with me and never made me feel like he was in a rush.

Dr. Tashi has done an exceptional job of describing what is going on with my body. He takes his time to explain in simple terms that the any patient could understand. His (bedside manner) is exceptional. I'd recommend him to anyone with a similar condition as I have.

Dr Tashi has been filling in for my reg doctor (Dr. Deininger). Dr Tashi and the preceding DR or PA or NP were both wonderful. They had obviously studied my history and were interested in asking questions and listening to my concerns. They could not have been better.

Dr. Tashi was fine with the medical evaluation and explanation. The questions he asked me about my life style (drink, tobacco, do I have family I live with, what kind of work do I do) at the beginning of our conversation had me feeling like there might be something wrong. Tell me what the blood work shows and then ask me all the questions you want to.
