He was always there to assist me in my practice caring for my patients, and is one of the hardest working and always available physicians I known.

I have a Gyne, Family practice physician, and an Endocrinologist who could not make the positive impact on my health that Dr. Tais has made. She is amazing and I couldn't recommend her more. I also appreciate that she doesn't high pressure ANYTHING or make you feel like a used car lot. She recommends high quality supplements, and you can buy them wherever you want to. But they really work..... I feel 100% better, thanks to her in-depth assessment and that she actually looks at the whole person.

Dr.Tais is the first naturopathic physician to treat me. I scoured the websites looking for a…read morenaturopath in the Fresno area, with the understanding my insurance would not cover any of my treatments with any such doctor. I had been quite ill for about three years and became frustrated with all of the poking and prodding ( 3 surgeries, and 1 year of physical therapy) my primary and all 14 specialists were asking me to endure. My labs, tests, cat-scans, MRI's and surgical findings always came up "inconclusive" or just "slightly off/out of range", no real definitive answer or name for why I felt so awful and my body was morphing into someone I no longer recognized. After the last major surgery I was desperate to feel well again and deteriorating quickly, with no faith in the physicians and surgeons caring for me. My primary said I was just a sensitive woman and indicated I may just have anxiety issues. Enough was enough, I took a leap of faith and emailed Dr. Tais who kindly responded and answered my questions about billing, payments , labs, and tests before scheduling a first visit via email. She let me know I was welcome to telephone with any other questions. I did telephone and she called me back, I was a little surprised at first because rarely does the actual provider speak to you on the phone themselves. Upon our first visit I found Dr. Tais to be kind, caring, patient, and a very good listener. She ordered a few labs, requested all of my records from my previous 14 specialists and primary care doctor and said she'd phone when results came in. In ONE VISIT and ONE ROUND OF LABS she chose to order she found the culprits of my rapidly declining health!! ONE VISIT !!!!! I was relieved and upset all at once, I wasn't crazy after all and SHE found out what was wrong in ONE VISIT!!! One of my first questions after wrapping my head around the treatment and the fact that I absolutely knew something was wrong with my health was..... "Did my previous panel of physicians miss this key indicator in my many rounds of labs with them?" Yes , they did!! It was right there in the labs that they forwarded to her themselves in black and white. It has taken everything in me to not go back in to every one of their offices and point out on their labs and her labs the egregious oversight that robbed me of 3 years of my life!! The doctors that my insurance would cover visits for wasted my time, resources, ordered time away from work, and missed my children's many milestones (years of my life) because they overlooked their own orders and labs. I am not a wealthy person and have paid a few thousands of dollars over the past three years trying to resolve my health issues. Had I only known about Dr. Tais and her practice I would have spared the three years of damage to my body, and had a much healthier and larger savings account. She is now the only doctor I trust, I chose to continue with her practice even after pinpointing the root cause of all of my many symptoms and am now a loyal and lifelong patient. I am feeling so much better now and we are working to fine tune the treatments to get me back to optimal health!!! The follow up visits (much less than the initial setup appointment) aren't too much more expensive than my regular copays with my health insurance and my husband agrees that Dr.Tais is worth every penny!!!

Very happy so far. Reception has been friendly (if seeming a little overworked at…read moretimes)...***EDIT*** Having gone for a while, the reception really is a problem. Pam Rico = awesome. Convincing the front desk you are worthy to be allowed across the bridge to be granted an audience with Pam Rico = not so awesome. And forget about trying to ask your doc a quick question via phone or email like most other 21st century docs. It's why I haven't gone in a couple of years. Pam Rico is very attentive, patient, happy to give me the level of explanation/consultation I seek (i.e.; I know some people just want to be given a pill and let loose rather than learn about what's ailing them). I really hope either they can make their front desk less draconian or Pam Rico finds a friendlier office to work for, because she deserves better.
