Dr Tharalson is an excellent physician who listens carefully, asks relevant and incisive questions, delivers detailed explanations, and is accomplished technically.
He has been my wife's gastroenterologist for some time. I have a colonoscopy scheduled with him. I am (almost) looking forward to it ;)

The staff were kind and efficient. My video appointment with Dr. Tharalson was very thorough. He explained every step of the process which left very few questions on my end.
Terrific, everything was explained and I was treated like a person not a number. Everyone was kind and patient.
I have been seeing Dr. Tharalson for almost 25 years. In my humble opinion, Dr. Tharalson is one of the best gastroenterologists in the Phoenix area.
I like the level of care provided by Dr.. Tharalson. He performed my EGD. He is knowledgeable and professional. He worked to get me a huge discount on my medication which was about $1000 because my insurance will not cover that medication.

Dr. Tharalson is amazing.....
My colonoscopy was scheduled for 9:15 am April 17th. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating for my procedure.
Dr. Eugene F. Tharalson, M.D. took the time to explain to me about the procedure he was going to perform. When I woke Dr.Tharalson was right there to explain to me how the procedure went and how my recovery would be. I was treated with the utmost respect by everyone involved, from the receptionist all the way to the RN who escorted me to my ride home. I was so impressed by the care I received, all involved were so kind and reassuring. This was my first time ever having to be sedated for a medical procedure and everyone involved made me feel welcomed. I knew I was in good hands with everyone there, so all in all my procedure went great due to the kindness and professionalism I received by everyone. I would recommend Dr. Tharalson to anyone needing a colonoscopy or any other medical service he performs. Thank you to Dr. Tharalson and his team for all the care and support I received.

Dr. Tharelson is very thorough. He has a great 'bedside' manner.
Have been seeing him for approximately 20 years. Would refer him to anyone.

The overall experience was positive, reflecting a highly efficient and well-managed operation. However, the initial appointment process presented challenges. Specifically, an unnecessary medical clearance was requested, and communication with the incorrect physician's office resulted in the failure to receive a fax, despite multiple transmissions to the provided numbers.
Dr Tharlson is fantastic. He is so knowledgeable, professional, and he has great bedside manner. He takes the time to explain things and asks if you have any questions. I highly recommend Dr Tharalson.
Dr Tharalson is very thorough. He is never rushed and answers all the questions I have.
He's the first Doctor that's actually listened to me. He didn't rush me, or make me feel like I was just another appointment. I very much recommend Dr. Tharalson!!
Dr Eugene Tharalson was very kind and compassionate from the moment I met him prior to the Colonoscopy, explaining what to expect and then meeting with me post procedure with the results. I appreciate his thoroughness all along the way.
Dr. Eugene F. Tharalson and his team provided exceptional care during my recent colonoscopy. From the warm and welcoming atmosphere to the thorough explanations, every aspect was handled with professionalism and empathy. The procedure went smoothly. I highly recommend Dr. Tharalson and his team for their outstanding patient care and dedication. They made the experience stress-free and comfortable, earning my trust and appreciation.
Dr Tharalson was friendly, explained the procedure in detail, and followed up after procedure. A doctor that thought be sought out when needing a GI specialist.
My wife and I are always more comfortable with Doctors like Dr Tharalson who is very analytical and careful in his diagnosis and treatment. He is very personable and puts you at ease which helps in describing your symptoms.
My previous Doctor retired and I was extremely pleased with Dr. Tharalson taking over. He takes time to talk with you before and after the procedure. His bed side manner is great! Very positive experience with Dr. Tharalson.
