Dr. Tuakli is the best! I have been a patient for 20+ years. She is a super diagnostician and has kept me well. Took a few years, but I finally got my husband to see Dr. Tuakli, and we credit her for the diagnosis of kidney cancer and for keeping him well after surgery. I do not understand the negative reviews. I repeat, Dr. Tuakli is the best!

Her office manager is super rude! No loyalty to long term patientsShe is not a bad physician. However, her staff’s opinion about you will definitely carry more weight than the relationship you think you are building/have built with her.Greatly anticipating her response (if there is one). I wonder just how she will “proudly defend herself” when confronted with an accurate review. If there is a response, it will purely be for show (for the readers her reviews), no doubt siting that I am at fault and she isn’t.

Dr Nadu is very friendly and Nice . I give 5 stars for her but the front desk lady is horrible.. 0 star . The worst receptionist I ever encounter

Dr. Tuakli has been my physician for almost 20 years. I trust her medical opinion and am glad to see her post on the Coronavirus, they are straightforward and give you food for thought.

I have been a patient of Dr.Tuaklis for over twenty years. She is an extremely competent physician, and very proactive. I have no complaints about her or the staff. Her combination of holistic and conventional medicine has worked very well for me.I find her knowledgeable, and appreciate the time she spends with me during exams/consultations. She is always learning and shares great information at her yearly seminars. Dr. Tuakli is a gem, and shines very brightly in my eyes. I would Highly recommend her!

Absolutely love Dr. Tuakli and her team. She makes sure you understand any information provided and tries to make everything more convenient for you.

I have been a patient of Dr. Tuakli for over 10 years and have always received excellent care and service. She is a knowledgeable and caring physician who always comes up with pragmatic solutions and game plans for resolving any of my health issues. I must say, that given my experiences with Dr. Tuakli, I find some of the negative reviews to be incredulous. They reveal more about the reviewers negative life situation or frame of mind than they do about Dr. Tuakli. I look forward to many more years of continued good health with the help and guidance of Dr. Tuakli!I would like to add that Dr Tuakli has been my 87 years-old mother’s primary care physician and has been immensely helpful in managing her care and improving the quality of her life. Thank you!

She overlooked wifes prior heart repairs and need for blood thinners and my wife had a stroke, so she terminated her care, now I realize it was to duck liability for such negligent care. Your life could be in danger here. I could document more negligence if necessary...find a real doctor.

I read all the posts, and I believe everybody has different point of view. I personally love Dr. tuakli and never had any issues.I have been seeing Dr. Tuakli for more than 9 years now. Never had a problem with front office people. They were always helpful, polite and few times tired as expected.I also never had a problem with any of my paper work, annual check ups, college vaccination, and pap smear or anything else. I dont understand what type of Harassment might someone get from such a knowledgeable doctor. Pap smear is not a comfortable procedure, so if someone is not comfortable maybe they should not be doing that.Yes, the waiting is long, but its the same with any other doctor office. She also makes sure to spend as much time as she can to explain everything to you unlike other doctors who rush you out of door.She does not have sense of humor that most people like to see that, but what I personally expect from her is 100% attention to my health issues and not making jokes around and trying to be funny. If you are looking for fun time and some one who makes you laugh, then you should go to stand up shows and not to the doctor office.Paperwork always costs money, no matter which doctor you go to. She needs to spend time to check your health issues and sign your papers. You cant expect her to work for free.

My experience with Dr. Tuakli was disappointing to say the least. My disappointment largely stems from her strong beliefs in naturopathic and alternative medicine(s). This is a primary reason why many patients choose to stand behind her ridiculous medical decisions and beliefs. She preaches delusions to her patients that “big pharma” is out to rob everyone blind and that various supplements and vitamins are “the answer” to most chronic health issues. Ironically, she has fully stocked shelves of these vitamins/supplements she believes in right at her clinic! My intention is not to glorify the work big pharma has done, but rather, draw attention to the fact that if these products really “worked”, pharmaceutical companies would have invested in their benefits long ago. She sells these ridiculous products at “premium” prices to all of her patients along with an array of beauty and anti-aging products. She even claims that her products are “more reliable” than similar “cheaper” products you would find at your local vitamin or supplement shop. If you choose to go through with this place, please DEMAND REPUTABLE EVIDENCE of all the crazy supplements she WILL start you on. PLEASE READ about these treatments, for your own health!In essence, my point is this: If you want a doctor that is a strong believer in modern medicine, up to date with current best practice guidelines, or more simply put a “good doctor” please avoid this place at all costs. The receptionist is also just plain rude and does not function to meet the customers needs, but rather, functions to meet Dr. Tuakli’s needs. Please consider all other experiences posted in this review. Perhaps my brief experience with Dr. Tuakli was not representative of her usual practice standards.

Dr. Tuakli has been my physician for years now and Im very pleased with her services. She is a doctor who is very concerned about her patients overall health and wellness. Any issues that have arised over the years were dealt with immediately and professionally. The evening and weekend hours are great for us 9-5 folks! I have referred her to many friends looking for a great family practioner/internal medicine doctor.

Dr Tuakli was my pediatrician, then my PCP, then my GYN. She is a phenomenal person who always strives to understand the full person. She continues to expand her knowledge as a physician branching off to weight loss, anti-aging, natural medicine, etc. I respect her opinion and hold her advise in high regard. I have always been treated with the utmost kindness and hospitality at the front desk. I arrive 15 mins early with my cards and copay ready.I had an emergency once when I was 15 weeks pregnant and without an OB doctor yet. I started bleeding and called her office, since she used to practice OB as well. She saw me right away and the entire office staff provided the most emotional support Id ever received on a doctor-patient relationship. I was then referred to a wonderful OB doctor.I have recommended several friends to her that have gone and also love her and the office staff.

Dr. Tuakli has been my personal physician for over 25 years and currently serves my husband and daughters as well. I have always found Dr. Tuakli to be caring and knowledgeable; preferring a holistic approach but never hesitating to treat any condition with appropriate test,medication and specialist referrals as needed. As earlier post suggest, her personality does not come across as warm and fuzzy, If you need these qualities in your physician, she may not be the one for you. Thankfully, I dont need my physician to be warm and fuzzy. I prefer a physician who is experienced, efficient and looking out for the best interest of her patients - Dr. Tuakli is all of these things and more! Her front desk staff from time to time can be less than helpful and patients do deserve great customer service. However, as front desk employees change constantly office to office, business to business and year to year, I usually chalk up all front desk hiccups to those individuals and not the Physician. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Nadu Tuakli, as a physician she has never let me down!

After reading the previous reviews I was a bit nervous about attending Dr. Tuaklis office but my fears were dashed when I made telephone contact with her office. All the required information regarding fees and forms were provided to me. I arrived for my appointment and the staff was friendly, so was the doctor. Whatever the concerns of the persons I believe the office has paid attention to previous comments and made the requisite changes. Keep it up!

There may be a little wait, but its worth it. She will give you the care you need to live well and be well. #thebestinthebiz

The worst physician that I have ever been treated by in my life. I would NOT recommend this physician to anyone. SHAM!She should be reported to Medical Review/Ethics/Institutional Review Boards.

Worst Dr ever!!!! I wouldn’t recommend a pet snake to her ( in other words, my worst enemy). Her methods are insulting and not in alignment with practical medical procedures. She offered no advice nor further instructions to address the condition and the reason for the visit. Her technique is to treat others as if they are low class, second rate citizens This is a classic defense mechanism for people hiding what they don’t know. Don’t go to this doctor, horrible!!!

Experienced physician who considers holistic alternatives in addition to traditional medicine. Shes not warm and fuzzy but she is caring, very competent and her staff is professional.

I cant believe Dr. Tuakli is still in business!! She is running a sham of a family practice/internist office. Cant believe she still has her license and her credentials...I wrote a degrading review several years ago. She was the absolute worst dr. I have seen in my entire life and Im in my early 60s!! The only reason I went to her in the first place was a nutritionist I respected in town recommended her because she was a patient there. Shortly after I saw Tuakli, the nutritionist left the practice.First I was treated rudely by the front office staff, left to wait, then the dr. herself was extremely rude, disrespectful and condescending. I went back several times only because she supposedly was an alternative/holistic doc. Thats what she poses as but just the opposite is true. She also talked me into a gyn exam....bad choice on my part. She was just as humiliating on the table while giving me a pap smear and internal exam. I only went in one more time to get the results of some routine blood tests and at the time she had an intern assisting her...she never asked my permission for the intern to be present, in fact the intern questioned me for an hour before the doc came in, then Tuakli joined her and while she was talking to the intern, I interjected a piece of my medical info and believe it or not she told me to shut up and not interrupt. Thats why Im surprised 4-5 yrs. later that she is still in practice in Columbia. Most of her reviews are 1 star (should be less) and all the write-ups are so NEGATIVE...SHE MUST HAVE ALL NEW PATIENTS AND IMMIGRANTS COME IN....once they are aware of what the practice is all about, they never go back!! In fact I was billed for a short consultation for skin care, that was supposed to be free...of course I never paid the bill and they never sent me another one....they knew better!!PLEASE AVOID THIS OFFICE!!!

AVOID THIS PHYSICIAN: STRIKE 1-As a new patient, I arrived to my FIRST appointment 20mins early, but the entire office staff arrived 20mins after the time my appointment was supposed to begin (with $30 co-pay). STRIKE 2-I bounced from exam room-to-waiting room for nearly 2-hours, before an Intern called me back to get a summary of my medical history. STRIKE 3-40mins after the Intern, Dr. Tuakli arrived to get a verbal summary read by the Intern, and proceeded to berate me about my health and medical status. I left 3.5 hours later and they NEVER addressed the sole reason I made the appointment. I needed to return to pickup medical equipment, later in the week, so I chalked it up to chance, that my initial appointment was horrible. When I returned three days later the Receptionist and Dr. Tuakli argued the fact that I had made an appointment (Im guessing for another $30 co-pay), opposed to the drop-in to pickup the equipment.The only bright/up-side to this visit was the young medical assistant (no relation). Thanks for your assistance. I hope this practice doesnt fold/fail around you (although it should). Get out while you can.****THIS PRACTICE IS COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS.****

Such a terrible experience, Im glad it was just for a physical exam and nothing serious! My wife and I really needed copies of my physical done asap and as we were explaining this to her during the examination, she fails to tell us that she plans on going to Boston the next day...so when i call the next stay asking for status her rude staff simply tells me i THINK shes in boston and that my forms will be ready in 10 days! so on the 10th day, i call to see if its complete and the rude staff is bewildered i called since she already told me it would be ready in ten days! to top it all off, when we get to the office, the forms werent even ready! the lady just shrugs and says she thought the doctor would have had it completed by now! truly a nightmare experience from start to finish. agree 100% with the other reviewers, that the staff members are just nasty! i would NOT recommend.

Great Doctor, staff is really nice and helpful

Avoid this place worst experience, rude people
