Tara K Iyer, MD

Excellent and caring. Listens carefully

During my appointment, Dr. Iyer was late. Also, she talked so fast it was hard for me to understand her. [redacted] She also rolled her eyes when I mentioned her talking to another one of my doctors here at BWH since I have a complex medical condition. The eye roll was really rude and disrespectful since my condition is serious and my other doctor is happy to talk to her since I had already checked with them. Health issues don't exist in a silo and Dr. Iyer should be aware of this and be willing to consult with other doctors on complex medical conditions. [redacted]

very knowledgeable and respectful, listened carefully and responded helpfully

Dr Iyer addressed my concerns with professionalism and care. Excellent provider.

She was very kind and listened to my concerns and issues. MY only ` issue` is that I am really against virtual appointments. I feel doctors should have actual eyes and hands on a patient if at all possible. Not having that experience feels wrong.

She was focused on helping me set up a good plan for taking the medication as time goes forward. She listened to my concerns and took them all into consideration.

The provider was courteous. She listened intently. She asked relevant questions. She was not judgmental. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

The doctor was punctual, considerate, and extremely knowledgeable about my medical history. It was a meaningful and encouraging experience.

Dr. Iyer is exceptional. I am very lucky to be working with her!

Dr. Iyer was kind, thoughtful, very well prepared for my visit having read thru my medical questionnaire and chart before our visit. She is also very well informed and stays on top of medical trends, research and side effects. I highly recommend Dr. Iyer to anyone. Thank you for doing your job so very well!

I've been seeing Dr Iyer for four years for help with menopause issues. She continues to be one of the smartest, most articulate, and kindest doctors I've ever had. Her ability to quickly grasp the full picture when dealing with complicated and chronic health issues is phenomenal. I am so relieved every time I speak with her, as she's able to synthesize information and make empathetic suggestions about my options. I am incredibly grateful to be a patient of hers, and feel comfortable knowing that she sees me as a real human being with valid concerns.

I'm thrilled that BWH offers a Menopause and Midlife Clinic! Women in this phase of life have been underserved for decades and it's so encouraging that the BWH offers a clinic specifically for them. Thank you!!

I spent almost a decade describing negative and unpleasant symptoms to multiple providers and almost of all of them did not take them seriously. During my first appointment with Dr. Iyer a couple years ago she immediately took me seriously, listened to what I had to say. She prescribed medication that improved my quality of life tremendously. I have recommended her (and the clinic) to many of my friends. I truly appreciate that she is provider that listens and takes women seriously.

I was grateful for the ability to do this appointment online as going into the city was a lot of work!

Hi, Dr. Iyer has been my physician for, I think, I'd like to say just over two years and I was suffering a lot from menopause symptoms and she is so educated on the research, on all the knowledge, all the medications. She made me feel so cared for and I haven't felt so good in so many years. So I'm so grateful to Dr. Iyer and I wish there were many more menopause specialists because I do recommend so many of my friends and Dr. Iyer is only one person. So thank you very much.

Dr Iyer is always very responsive and sympathetic and extremely thorough

I got in very last minute with Dr. Tara Iyer, and I've always appreciated her. I have recommended several people to the Fish Clinic and to her specifically. And yes, she's always thorough, she's always very knowledgeable, she's always very personable, and I very much enjoy meeting with her. This recent visit specifically was very last minute, and they got me right in. So thank you.

She was knowledgeable, kind, respectful and overall so easy to talk to about a subject , that for me, can be difficult.

Provider seems very impatient to me compared to previous appointments.

Dr. Iyer comes to each visit well prepared to discuss my history and care plan. She is thoughtful and thorough and makes sure all of my questions and concerns are addressed.

I am grateful to have televisits because I live so far.

I am thankful for Dr. Iyer and BWH

Dr. Tara Iyer is the most knowledgeable doctor I have encountered--I wish I had met her decades ago to help me through my pre menopausal issues with far more expertise than I experienced with my local doctors. She is simply extraordinary: clear, full of the latest evidence-based research information, beautifully articulate about every question or issue she encounters, with tremendous detail and specificity. It is a profound pleasure and honor to work with her.

Dr. Iyer is very caring and knowledgeable. I appreciate her ability to listen carefully and respond with expertise and compassion. She has great communication skills and has been very helpful to me.

Dr. Tara Iyer is a wonderful provider. I could tell she had prepped for my visit by looking at my history prior to our visit. She is an expert in her field and I feel lucky to have her as my provider.

Dr Tara Iyer is such ray of sunshine. She listens and discusses treatment options so eloquently ... and I love that she leaves options open for me to decide what works best for me. She is a true gem! I am so lucky to have found her!

I am so happy I found this clinic. I love my doctor. The appointments are easy. The Zoom meeting is fantastic and she already caught an important medical condition that everyone else would have missed. Love her to pieces.

She is knowledgeable and caring-not a common combination!

disrespectful, did not look at my medical chat history, and did not show care or compassion

I felt that Dr. Iyer was patient listened to my concerns and explained things well

Dr. Iyer is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate

Dr Iyer is great-knowledgeable and kind. I respect her as a practitioner and trust her care

Easy to talk to and a great listener. Very caring

The doctor is great and explain everything.

She was very familiar with my history in a short period of time, very informative, and had a good plan for moving firward

Not a good match for me. Felt uncomfortable/rushed

She is caring, informative, and took the time to see and understang other comorbidities.

This was the first time I had met the provider and she was friendly and knowledgeable and very kind. I'd be happy to meet with her again.

My provider is only focused on medication to treat menopause. They are not patient focused or in any way attuned to medical history or current conditions.

I just want to say that Dr. Iyer was very wonderful and understood and actually looked at my history of my complaint and that it had been going on for years, which is a first in my history of dealing with doctors. So she's great.

Great communicator, data driven, willing to repeat info and answer all questions

Dr. Iyer is fully aware of my health history and what medication I am using which she orders. She is very pleasant, knowledgeable and cares about my care.

She is a great Dr

I really appreciate how Dr. Iyer is up to date on all the latest information around menopause. And I also very much appreciated how important it was to her to help me feel well.

30 mins for a first pt appointment seemed very rushed. I am [redacted] knowledgeable about my own health and understand medical concepts easily, but it was very fast paced and there was not a lot of time for education or back and forth conversation. [redacted]

Dr. Iyer is extremely knowledgeable about post-menopausal health and an excellent communicator. She is able to quickly assess and provide highly targeted medical advice that has deepened the quality of my care and, as a result, the impact of my care. I feel very fortunate to be seeing her and we need many, many more providers who can provide informed, educated, and up-to-date information for peri- and post-menopausal women.

I have been working with this provider for years, and they are consistently helpful and knowledgeable. They take the time to listen, understand possible reasons for concerns, and offer interventions that truly work. Discussing health information can feel vulnerable, but they make it easy and comfortable. I also refer patients to them frequently because I trust the quality of their care.

I had no problem with the provider. I did have a problem waving a year to talk to somebody, and no follow up appointment. It was a total failure.

I felt rushed through the appointment. Rushed to make a quick decision about medication change options and treated as though I were stupid for not making a rapid decision. My case is complex and important details were not brought up by the physician.

Great listener and provided me with a lot of good information. I felt well informed and able to make decisions regarding my healthcare.

Med tech who checked me in and took vitals very efficient and friendly.
