Dr. Tallman's unique approach, techniques & training, (outlined on his website), are far superior…read moreto any other doctor/practice I've researched; and most importantly, the results are nothing shy of MIRACULOUS, (as a former National Champion distance runner, I have some very high standards too!). To date, Dr. Tallman has done 12 stem cell treatments on me in the past ~8 years, NEVER ONCE failing to FULLY heal a new injury with a SINGLE treatment, (and I've come in with the full gamut, ranging from various ligament sprains & frayed tendons, to cartilage fissures, to even a fractured talus). The sheer SPEED of recovery from his treatments is equally miraculous: I'm typically back walking 5-10+ miles per day within just 1-2 weeks post-treatment; and by 3.5 - 4 weeks, ready to do what I now live for: EXTREME off-trail hiking/peak-bagging that involves 11-20+ miles & 7-12+ hours PER DAY! In addition to being a super skilled doctor and a perfectionist, Dr. Tallman's 'bedside manners' are impeccable: he takes the time to LISTEN to the patient & answer questions, he thoroughly explains what issues are present & how he plans to treat them, and he takes the time to get the treatment done properly. To top it off, his passion & drive to help people just radiates and really enhances the overall experience. Words cannot express how incredibly thankful I am to have Dr. Tallman 'put me back together' each year, (...sometimes twice per year...!), after the hiking season where I've pushed my body to insane limits. The only drawback to having such an amazing, one-of-a-kind doctor in my corner: when he does finally decide to retire, (which thankfully isn't any time soon from what he's told me!), then by default, so must I. Concluding with a specific example, (and by far one of the most impressive!) is my right ankle, which had been nearing Stage 3 arthritis from a childhood injury that occurred over 2 decades prior to my first visit with Dr. Tallman. Subjectively speaking, I was unable to "lead" with my right foot/leg while stepping down off anything taller than about 6" (if I tried to do so, my foot would literally buckle out in pain, almost like the automatic recoil one would experience from touching a hot stove with bare hands). And even just walking across a level surface would amount to CONSTANT stiffness at best, often accompanied by mild to moderate soreness/pain. Unlike all the other (new) injuries, (which Dr. Tallman confidently & correctly predicted would be healed in full after just one stem cell treatment), he made NO promises on [what HAD BEEN] my 'bum' ankle. There were mild to moderate improvements after the very first treatment, (and each treatment thereafter), and by about the 4th or 5th stem cell treatment, the healing took off in leaps and bounds, (literally!), as I could leap off a 3' tall rock/boulder, or jump down the last few steps, and land on my right foot without issue! And after another 3-4 stem cell treatments, the ankle RARELY EVER feels stiff, even after sitting for hours on end & then getting up to walk. The miraculous, 'subjective' results are consistent with the improvements on the MRIs.

I would really like to write a good review for Dr. Tallman because he is a nice and sincere man…read more Unfortunately I can't because his treatments did not work for more than a few weeks, are very painful, and it was not blearily explained that they would need to be repeated often.

I only saw him personally for initial consult, at which he interrupted me and left room while I was asking questions--and then saw him for about 30 seconds while in preop just prior to surgery and again in postop for about 30 seconds immediately after. There was no other contact with him after surgery, although I was hospitalized. He did not appear for first postop office visit either, which they scheduled with his surgical assistant. At that visit, 6 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY, I was told he had found bacteria DURING surgery and they urgently wanted me to see Infectious Disease doctor now. No explanation as to why I wasn't told this at time of surgery, why referral to specialist wasn't made while I was in hospital, or why no mention of it whatsoever was in op report. (Or for that matter, why he did not see me himself to explain.) Furthermore, the antibiotic prescription given to me (finally) at 6 weeks after surgery had completely wrong RX instructions on the label--directions said "Take 4 by capsules by mouth 1 hour before procedure." I had to call office and ask how they actually intended for me to take the antibiotic--at 6 weeks postop. I gave him 2 stars instead of 1 star because I believe, despite all of the above, he did a good technical job on total hip replacement surgery, as I am in less pain and function appears good after PT/OT assistance.

I had contacted a few other doctors, but they were either unwilling or unable to help me, but then I found Dr. Rappaport. When I was reading his reviews, one of them said he was the "fixer"! And he is! Dr. Rappaport is the best doctor I've ever had. He takes a minute to get used to, I think maybe he's a little OCD or something, or maybe he's just so brilliant everyone else is just trying to keep up. Besides knowing his stuff, his patients come first, no matter what. The morning of my surgery he was there early checking in on me, conversing with the surgical staff, unlike my first surgeon who was 1 1/2 hrs. late for my surgery, and spoke to me for maybe 30 seconds prior to surgery. He came into my hospital room every morning the four days post surgery I was there. My recovery was so much quicker than my first surgery. Dr. Rappaport is a down to earth guy who genuinely cares about his patients and their long-term outcome. He's absolutely one of the most ethical, honest doctors I've ever met, and I am so grateful to have found him. I just hope he doesn't retire in case I need neck surgery, lol.

It got to the point where I could not walk down the street, could not sit through dinner... I ended up at Dr Rappaport's office through some crazy referral. Physician #10. Could HE figure this out? The MRIs were clean. There was nothing obvious to point to. He said right away 'I know exactly what this is. It's your SI joint. It's unstable. It's a case of hyper mobility in the joint. We need to fuse it.' Of course I was skeptical. Three years of this pain that has derailed my life. I scheduled the surgery and immediately upon wakening the incessant, nagging, horrible pain was gone. It was so strange. And so beautiful. The subsequent tissue torture I had done trying to remain functional was still an issue, but the core problem was FIXED! I am walking. I can sit with my family through dinner. I can see a movie. I tear up still, three years later, with gratitude for having found this office and this surgeon. His open mind. To not think that the answer HAD to be in the MRI. To believe there was an issue without MRI indication. To fix it. THANK YOU. I later referred Dr Rappaport to my friend with a crushed disc in his neck. Dr R did surgery on him. My friend gushes with gratitude to have his life back every time I see him. An open mind goes a long way in the medical field. It's hard to find a professional that will look at YOU and not just your images. He saved my life. He gave me back my life.
