Dr Talarico was excellent. He was very formative and took the time to listen to my concerns. He explained everything very well and in detail. He was easy to talk to and I liked that he shared the pictures of the operation with me. I also liked his detailed notes of the operation in the MyChart Clinical Notes.

I trusted Dr. Talarico's skill from my previous surgery, but what stood out this time was the compassion of the whole team. Being fully awake in the OR was a new and overwhelming experience and everyone helped me feel safe and informed . [...] The hospital is truly blessed to have such dedicated professionals, and I am deeply grateful.

Dr. Talarico is one of the finest human beings I have ever met. I don't care if a little more local anesthesia was needed during the surgery. His gifts of understanding, listening, caring, cooperative action, clarity in communication are off the charts. On a scale of 1 to 5 he is a 10. Dr. Talarico 1-4. + 10. 5. + 100.

Dr. Talarico was amazing! He greeted us. Came out to get us before our son went into surgery. Came out to tell us how the surgery went. We checked on him twice during recovery. We had 2 follow up visits to make sure he was healing.
Jul 28, 2025
This was my first visit and he was very helpful to tell me the options of what was going on and the pros and cons of the situation. He saw the urgency of my condition and guided me in the right path to order blood work for me right away. He followed up with the call later that day. I enjoyed his honestly and transparency and I would recommend him to others.
