The experience with Dr Tai and office has been disappointing at best. I could list all the problems but I will stick to the most concerning. First off in the hospital he adamantly blamed all my problems on my past stenting and brought great distress to me at my hospital bed….no compassion here folks. He can be dismissive and rushed the appointment. He has the biggest arrogant ego I have ever witnessed in a doctor. He just does not have the capacity to get to root causes of my issues and doesn’t refer out to others that can g... read more

We were canceled on again. They knew since July 1st that the doctor was not going to be in. I wasted half my day because of this staff. They had 14 days to let me know the appointment was canceled! They never, ever answer their phones. The girls sit there doing nothing. It is a town far away. If you miss a call from this office 24 hours after leaving a message because you are 90 and can't get to the phone quickly enough, well too bad for you. You can't just call them right back. You can leave a message and maybe, just maybe ... read more

Afib Assigned Dr. Tai, relatively young, so I went along at hospital. First follow up with him, then Julie Elliot the PA, (only thing good about that place), she recommended a Calcium Scan. Next follow up was with Dr. Tai- calcium scan for heart came out great, however did another follow up about a year later- and the office 'Forgot' to send over the calcium screen to my primary. On follow up with Julie she asked me about the Mass in my lung. Nobody mentioned that to me over a year prior - my primary received paperwork and r... read more

If you are ready for a nightmare, choose this clinic. Three people in the reception area and NONE picking up the phone. When you call the phone is muted. I had to go there to understand why every single time I call I get the voicemail and they even have the audacity to have a recording saying: We’ll call you back in 48 to 72 hours!! So I went, call the office and nothing. The phones never rang, plus those three people were practically doing nothing. Procedures are just rescheduled and you won’t see a doctor but a nurse pract... read more

Impossible to get a live person on the phone and they can't be bothered to answer voice mails. Never received a call back.

I recently was admitted o the hospital with AFIB. Dr Tai was my cardiologist and was notified that I was in the hospital. My AFIB Led to a Heart Attack and Dr. Tai had still not responded. The next day I was still in the hospital and contacted Dr. Tai's office myself. I was assured he would be there in an hour. He did not arrive for another 8 hours, long after I was discharged. I went to see him at his office one week later. He apologized and blamed it on miscommunication. He assured me that his lack of attention would not h... read more

In May, 2023, I was referred by my primary doctor for potential coronary artery disease to Dr. Tai. I had previously seen Dr Tai for an echocardiogram and stress test. I saw Dr. Tai May 9 and he wanted to wait 6 weeks, possibly for more tests. No tests were ordered. I came in for my follow-up appointment and the staff had made it in Winter Haven, where I didn't even know they had an office. I was scheduled for 2 weeks later to see the PA, Julie, around July 10.. Julie said Dr. Tai had ordered a vein study and a cathartizatio... read more

My father had a heart attack in 2008 and was taken to the ER. He met Dr. Tai at that time. He’s been a patient of doctor Tai ever since. He started out at Gessler Clinic with him. He will not go anywhere else. Dr. Tai is very knowledgeable and that’s why he is so busy and booked. I mean when you are good everyone wants to see you. We choose to wait especially if it’s not an emergency. He’s had to have nurse practitioners and others to join the office because he has gotten that busy. He’s doing a procedure my dad has waited o... read more

It took over a month to get an appt SCHEDULED for his heart cath. We had to be at the hospital at 7am, procedure set for 10am. It is 1:30pm and have not had the procedure done yet. So far we are not really impressed.
