If you are going to Dr. Aljari for medical marijuana, I would not recommend him. First he will make…read moreyou do a drug test. So if you are already using marijuana, don't lie. Second, you pay $250 up front without knowing if you'll be approved. If it IS approved, you have to pay another $50 to the state for the actual card. It is not covered by insurance and it's not guaranteed that he'll prescribe medical marijuana, even if you have a documented history of symptoms. Third, if he does approve it, he has the option to give you a card for 3, 6 or 12 months. If he gives you less than a year, he will charge you $150 to resubmit your card. He may be a very good doctor but if your reason for seeing him is specifically to get MedMJ, it seems to me like he is using this as a way to make more money. If he is going to be one of the few doctors certified to prescribe, I wish his office would be more upfront about the costs.

He gives you ample time, listens, and gives common sense recommendations. His annual physicals are very thorough! With Covid, he has virtual visits. I like that he has training interns ensuring the next generation of doctors, PA, etc. are well trained. His office team is amazingly helpful with insurance and appointments. He keeps pretty close to his appointment times but doesn't rush you to ensure he understands your concerns.

You're never rushed and you are never dismissed when you have questions or need things explained. I love that he is one of the last independent doctors around. He is not beholden to any big medical here! You're always given a detailed summary after your appointment kind of like a chronological progress report. His office staff is kind and funny. When you commit to being his patient you are rewarded by the practice going the extra mile for you and I'm always amazed at the personal details he can remember mannnny months later. He is like an old fashioned doctor in that he ends up knowing you so well and doesn't focus on rushing you out in a 10 minute maximum, again because he is still an independent practice. He is compassionate but in your best interest most of all and he's always happy to explain the science or evidence for his decisions. He has been my PCP for over six years and I really appreciate his time and care. Really smart guy! Be aware that some times he can run pretty behind--- because he gives all his patients the time they need with him and doesn't just "finish and walk out". He's worth it!

You may have to wait in the waiting room to see him, but that is because he takes the time to understand what is going on.

I am so happy that I switched…read moreoffices, because Dr. Michel actually took the time to run tests and answer any questions that I have. My first visit was long and that made me feel so much more confident in being a new patient. He went over every detail I listed on the intake form, and asked tons of questions. I wish all Doctors were that thorough! I live in North Hills, but have no problem driving to Tarentum because of the excellent care I receive. Every single staff member has been friendly and empathetic and it's a very pleasant environment. Anytime I have questions or concerns, I can call and they are happy to help. They also have the most recent up to date treatments, which has helped me since I am very sensitive to medications. I just completed my first year of Botox, and also started Emgality today. Unlike other Specialists I've been to, Dr. Michel doesn't force medication, but gives you options, and is very open minded. I feel very respected as a patient because we actually talk about various treatments. I highly recommend Dr. Michel to anyone looking for an amazing Neurologist who truly cares. I may not ever be the same person I was before brain injuries which caused my chronic migraines, but thanks to Dr. Michel, I have been given more migraine and pain free days. I am so glad that I found him!

Waited an hour and a half. Had to leave and they said they would call when they have it figured out. They called only 2 days later. I set an appointment. They then called the next day 'to reschedule". They left a voicemail. When I called back I was repeatedly put on hold. They couldn't figure out who called me and then denied calling. After I played the voicemail for them they said they were unaware I already rescheduled. After I established I already rescheduled they said "its all on paper". Not sure why its not in there computer system. This review is for Dr Elliot Michel's office at 215 E 1st Ave #1, Tarentum, PA 15084

This refers only to my experience with Gordon, I can't vouch for anyone else:…read more One star because zero isn't an option. This person is not to be respected as a man, let alone a doctor. It's clear he stopped learning about 30 years ago when he graduated medical school, and has absolutely no interest in staying knowledgeable about current developments in science and medicine. He is either too lazy, apathetic, or simply not intelligent enough. Having the displeasure of encountering him, neither option would surprise me. Not only is he bad at medicine, however, but he epitomizes condescension and disrespect. Extraordinarily unprofessional and unpleasant to be around. Truly, he doesn't possess a single redeeming characteristic that I've found in my (thankfully) brief visit. If you value a knowledgeable professional, avoid this man. If you value a pleasant interaction with a kind person, avoid this man. If you value your own time and money, avoid this man. If you value your health, avoid this man.

I walked in (no appointment needed) and signed in on the sign-up sheet. A woman that worked there told me to "just sit down and they'll call you". I started to sit and before I got onto the chair they called me in. It was maybe 3 minutes from top to bottom! The person drawing the blood (wish I remembered her name...) literally had a needle in my vein immediately and got the blood she needed. The whole visit took about 10 minutes max! I can't say enough about how efficient it all was. Granted, they could be much busier at other times and it might take longer but I was impressed. A+

I have to say i was a little confused as to how to rate this so called hospital…read more My son was very sick and has AHN insurance. My wife took him to AHN Mccandless Hospital. The nurses and doctors where fine the receptionists where fine as well. My problem is that they call it a hospital when it really is just a big urgent care facility. After blood work and testing the doctor said that they where not capable of diagnosing my sons problems as they do not have any specialty doctors on staff. What the heck no specialty doctors why even call yourself a hospital???????. The doctors said they where going to transfer him to Wexford Hospital. I do not get it they do thousands and thousands of dollars in tests only to say they can't do anything to help. Then to boot some one is paying for an ambulance to transfer him to the other hospital. If I was you I would avoid this so called hospital like the plague. I will be sure to never go here again. This is not a hospital so do not be fooled into thinking it is. If you have basic problems I am sure they can help, But anything remotely serous there is no way for them to help you. I must say again please do not go here unless you have no serious problems. With that said It was our fault for going here. I would normally give one star but the nurses and even the doctors where very nice even if they could not help. Normally for this level of care I would probably give 3-4 stars. Overall I will give 2 stars which is very generous.
