Everyone was very professional and courteous.

02/17/2025

Tara and the staff she works with are all great. The only issue I am having right now is the MyChart app does not have an easy way for me to get a receipt for my copay to submit to my FSA account for reimbursement. That is a technical issue that needs to be resolved. I have sent a message to billing, but after 2 days, still no response.

02/10/2025

Dr. Tara is very professional and a wonderful and caring doctor! Highly recommend her and her great staff!

Tara is one of the most caring, compassionate, easy to get along with nurse practitioners that I've ever worked with, that I've ever had. She's always concerned about my health. She knows all about me. She always makes it easy to understand. I just, I can't say enough good things about Tara. She's just a little wonder.

tara best of the best - 10/10 not high enough

11/14/2024

The whole team did exactly what they were trained to do and above.

11/12/2024

Tara is a fantastic physician and I recommend her anytime I get the opportunity. She is thorough, practical, and conservative in her approach. She's been our family's primary care physician for years.

11/12/2024

Generally I find that doctor visits mainly consist of filling out info on a computer. Although everything I went for was done efficiently and effectively, it felt a bit impersonal

11/05/2024

I'd just like to comment and say the staff at the front desk was amazing and courteous. I showed up 15 minutes early and they put me right in the examination room. And within two or three minutes the nurse came in to do her thing, take my blood pressure. We talked. She listened. She took off. Then Dr. Tara came in shortly thereafter. I mean, within five minutes Tara was right there immediately. And had a great talk. She listened great. She answered my questions. And as usual, it was a great visit. It always is when I see her and I will never get anybody else. And I will recommend her to everyone I know and I do. Thank you.

11/04/2024

Very professional and efficient.

11/05/2024

Treat you like family.

06/26/2024

This was my first time visiting. I have to say it was a wonderful oddly simple process that I didn't expect. I am very impressed with everything I experienced. Thank you!

06/25/2024

Tara has been my primary provider for more than 15 years. It's always a comfortable place to be and I know I'm in good hands.

06/19/2024

The entire staff was so very welcoming! It is so nice to walk in and be greeted with positivity. The nurse and NP were both excellent! I felt so comfortable with them and that made it easier for me to discuss my medical issues with them. I absolutely love the service and I'm so glad I gave Baton Rouge General a chance.

06/14/2024

Service & communication with this physician & reception staff are 100% on point. I never received bad service.

06/13/2024

Tara is a very good nurse practitioner. She was kind. She was patient. She answered my questions and I'm looking forward to working with her in the future. Tara, or Tara, if I'm pronouncing her name correctly, she's a very good nurse practitioner. I like her.

06/03/2024

I've been going to Tara for years and recommend her to everyone. She a great listener and cares about her patients

05/30/2024

Tara's perfect as ever! Now your phone system now needs a major upgrade. Why can't I "speak" to appointment desk personnel? Why can't i speak with someone to find out what i need to do to get my mammogram and thyroid scan done? Scheduler told me last week "she" had to have the order. I thought mammograms were on standard order???????????? So that's ok. I'll GO to the hospital or clinic to ask for help.

05/23/2024

Highly efficient and effective management of appointments. Minimized potential exposure to other individuals who may be sick with something contagious.

05/23/2024

Great experience from The front desk to the doctor and the staff

05/21/2024

Tara takes the time to answer all my questions

05/09/2024

Tara is always a pleasure to visit. She listens carefully, gives great feedback, and is always in a cheerful mood. The front office staff was helpful as well. They did seem to be running behind schedule which is typical, but otherwise a very pleasant visit.

05/08/2024

My NP is very caring and compassionate. She's an amazing person.

05/01/2024

04/15/2024

Professional and caring.

04/15/2024

love my doctor

04/11/2024

My experience with the reception desk has been absolutely horrible. They do not answer their phones during working hours. I can never get through to my doctor or nurse because they do not answer their phones. I tried explaining this to them, but this has been going on for several months and it is frustrating because you can not get through to the nurse or Tara.

04/04/2024

The phone system leaves a lot to be desired. when the automated answer come on, every time it says that I am 5 in line. Always

03/26/2024

Great job, guys.

03/20/2024

Everyone was very helpful and very nice

03/22/2024

I will no longer call to make an appointment due to the fact I was on hold for 5 minutes to leave a message and another time 8 minutes just to schedule an appointment. I will only be using MyChart

04/02/2024

Very happy with my provider and all the staff.

04/01/2024

Front staff, Tara's nurse and Tara are always sweet, professional, and explain so I know what to expect always

03/20/2024

Enjoyed it.

03/28/2024

Tara is always concern, professional, nice and caring.

03/18/2024

Tara is an excellent health care provider. I would suggest her to anybody and everybody. She does an excellent job.

03/13/2024

03/15/2024

The medical professionals and staff are courteous and knowledgeable. I appreciate their thorough care.

03/12/2024

Always professional, pleasant and listens.

03/11/2024

I overall did not have a good experience with this provider.

03/06/2024

The experience was a good one, but the wait times seemed long. It may be due to the nurse and staff taking their time with each patient, which is also needed. It was nice waiting alone in the waiting room, instead of sitting out in the waiting area with many people. So, next time I know to just prepare to wait about an hour in the room until I can be seen. I will make it a home getaway for a little while. :)

03/06/2024

I understand a new system was being implemented the day of my appointment and that is why my doctor was running behind.

03/06/2024

Great experience!!!

03/05/2024

Tara is awsome and very careing. Her staff is great.

02/26/2024

Yes, I just believe that the staff is very professional. Dr. Tara is really top-notch at what she does. She's a blessing, probably not only to me, but so many others. I just wanted to say that this one awesome staff, and they need a thousand more just like them.

02/23/2024

Really enjoy the visit and look forward to future results

02/20/2024

I am a new patient b/c I became unhappy with my doctor of 30 years. The doctor GREATLY exceeded my expectations! I'm glad I took the chance on a new provider!

02/12/2024

She's a very sweet lady to talk to. I changed my doctor to come to her and I hope God let me have a good relationship with her. Thank you.

02/13/2024

Tara was so wonderful. She will now be my primary care.

02/09/2024

The only thing I really have to say is they took a little longer than normal my appointment was for 1030 I got there early and they got to me a little bit after 1030 and I'd actually didn't get out of that office until 11:00 to 11:10

02/01/2024

Excellent! Couldn't be any better.

09/21/2023

Dr.Tara is a very, very caring doctor. She always listen to you and ask questions,and respond in such a very professional, but yet caring medical way. I would highly recommend her to any family member and I am glad to always get in to see her when I need.

09/21/2023

Tara is an excellent provider. She always takes the time to listen and gives excellent advice?

09/06/2023

My only complaint is having to wear a mask after I checked in. Latest evidence shows I don't work anyway.

09/12/2023

The receptionist takes a really long time to answer calls. I e called 3 times and had to wait for a person to pick up at least 5 minutes

09/05/2023

Keep up the good work Because most of the time we are there is because we sick, and care and respect should de mutual.

08/31/2023

I love the convenience of this location. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Tara is the Best primary care provider I have had. Thank you!

It was a no stress experience.

05/31/2023

06/02/2023

Tara and the nurse were great. Better than my old Doctor. Will see Tara again.

05/24/2023

Fantastic experience with Tara! She is my now PCP for sure!

05/19/2023

The staff there are very friendly and professional. I like that I can get my lab work done promptly.

05/18/2023

The ladies at the front desk are so kind. They remember my name and make me feel like we're old friends. Tara and her MA's are amazing.

05/15/2023

Calling the main number in to the offices is unbelievably frustrating. Waiting before any human voice picks up or even getting a choice other than to hold is a ridiculous way for a dr's office phone system to operate. I've mad multiple requests for you to correct this to no avail. Waiting on the holding pattern created by your phone to set an appt., return the nurse's call, or just get a quick answer has taken anywhere from 8-18 minutes of wait time. Can you fix this very easy challenge? If you need recommendations on how to end this unbelievably antiquated process, I'll gladly assist.

05/03/2023

My experience with my provider and staff are always pleasant and helpful.

04/24/2023

I think that Tara is an absolutely amazing caregiver. And I think that they did a very good job with taking care of me. The only problem I have is that I haven't figured out what's wrong? And I need to know what's wrong. I love Tara and the nurses there and I really hope they help me.

04/24/2023

Everything was perfect! The facility, the staff, everything. I can't think of a single thing to be unhappy with!

04/21/2023

very professional and organized will highly recommend.

04/19/2023

Very professional and welcoming from the front desk staff, nurse, NP and lab..very clean office and organized

04/18/2023

The check-in process and room assignments really stream the process. The doctors/nurses don't seem rushed. Also, the facility is really nice and lots of parking.

04/18/2023

Always have a pleasant experience at BRG & Tara & staff.

04/14/2023

Everything went very well and on time great people

04/10/2023

I was 25 minutes late for my appointment due to a wreck on the interstate. The office spoke with the Doctor and She was willing to work me in her schedule. I was so appreciative.

03/28/2023

Great team!!

03/29/2023

Our Family loves going to see Mrs Tara. We can always count on her and her staff to help us in any of our medical needs.

11/16/2022

Tara has been our trusted medical professional for many years. We will continue to see her in the future.

11/17/2022

My provider makes it easy for me to share my concerns, talk open and honest with her. This has helped me finally get to the correct specialist to address some long term problems that previous providers did not pick up on who or what I really needed. The office is always very busy but the staff in this Ascension office are ALL personable. None of them show the stress and crazy busy they are actively working in. Hang on to this team of staff. They are the reason we continue to go here and refer many others. Thank you!!

11/15/2022

my provider have worked with me during the past years and she knows me.
