Who is that freak lady doctor on the Restasis commercial?

I don't even work for your company, but that lady gives me the fucking creeps! Never before have I seen a more bullshit phony baloney fucked up commercial as that one.

I thought my company sucked, Allergan must be as phoney and fucked up as any pharmaceutical company, and that's really fucked up.

Sorry guys! Hang in there, remember -- it's all about your immediate supervisor.

 

She is an actual doctor and even does clinical lectures. I think she is pretty and does a nice job in the commercial, so go crawl back to your own crappy company board.

 

The person in the commercial you are referring to is Dr. Alison Tendler, ophthalmologist from Sioux Falls, SD.

 

I wonder why you didn't include, "Allergan is not phony or fucked up." Nice of you to stick up for your speaker, though.

 

It is probably safe to say that this doctor is a paid consultant. I would be willing to bet that she is also one of the highest prescribers in the country. With that said, I am sure that the rep in that area is coincidentally probably one of the top "performers" in the country. That is what is most comedic about this industry. Evaluating reps who have hired guns against others who do not.
What a joke.......

 

"So you take Restasis yourself?"

"Twice a day." Knowing smile and wierd as shit eye contact, pan out to doctor and patient walking down the hallway in deep admiration of one another. Call HQ for compliments about how "realistic" the interaction portrayed was, also how PC, since the doctor was a lady, apologize that we didn't pick a black lady.

 

yes i am sure she is paid...wouldn't you be if you were asked to lead a 200 million dollar ad campaign? dont be a hypocrit....secondly she is in fact from and practices in Sioux Falls SD and I dont know where you are from but let me give you a little background on SD, it is located just outside of southern canada and has an extremely sparse population, the point being that I doubt she is one of the highest prescribers...she was picked because she is decent looking, but more than that she is rememrable, hence the reason you are slamming her, mission accomplished from a marketing standpoint, the more you run your mouth the more rxs i get so keep it up there Al Sharpton

 

There is some truth to what you wrote but this lady is no Suzy Chapstick. It's the phoneyness / canned unrealistic shit that gets to me, plus -- chronic dry eye? That reminds me of restless leg syndrome. And the pharma companies want the taxpayers to reimburse for that? What's a little month's supply of Restasis go for -- I'll bet it's $500.00.

"Doctor, is there anything else I can do? I've tried other drops..."

 

She did her fellowship up in Albany NY.

 

i appreciate that you found some truth in what i wrote, that is pretty impressive coming from a liberal pharmaceutical rep, which i didn't realize existed. and no restasis is not $500 dollars that my already too high taxes are helping pay for but lets look at business 101 for a second: pfizer has a multi billion (that is with a b) dollar product in viagra and trust me there are not that many broke dicks out there, but they were able to take an antidepressent side effect and parlay it into billions, ahhhh capitalism need more evidence? the little purple pill took a market that was approx. 750 million with the h2's like tagament etc. and turned it into a 15billion dollar market so you see my good friend you can either sit on these boards and complain about it or you can go find work in another industry either way i dont really give a shit but people like you are the reason that people in our industry get such a bad name to begin with, so do us all a favor and go sell bottled water to the children of pakistan

 

I just saw the commercial again. Man! I bet that lady has a pair of 3 foot cockroach wings underneath her labcoat. Something is definitely not human with her, but it's hard to put your finger on. Plus, her eyes are weird as shit. She's a freak.

If she went on a mercy mission to Haiti they'd think she was a voodoo witch doctor.

 

I think she's hot - Id do her, wings or no wings.

 

Dude but her wings are probably greasy and fragile, she'd insist on being on top. And her saliva destroys everything it comes into contact with. She's the fly.

 

It's part of the product life cycle plan. When patent expiry is approaching, you'll see this lady split down the middle and molt off like an old skin old skin, and a new, Restasis-XL spokesperson will emerge from the shell of the former one. The new girl will be more wholesome and gentle, and only once a day!

It's been planned from the start.

 

I don't have a dog in this fight!

I only am writing because I think she is GORGEOUS! I think they chose her because she has wonderful eyes that make me remember the commercial.

I think I might get Lasik surgery just for a chance to ask her out!

 

Just for the record, I will not pay heed to anyone who cannot spell basic words. Therefore, those of you who want to tell me how special Dr. Tendler are but cannot spell words such as "memorable" or even "weird" are simply showing their ignorance. I wish I could rid the Internet of such pests as you, but I have much better things to do such as breathing and living and other words of more than two syllables. Dr. Tendler may be very competent (look that up if you think it's an insult), but her odd, blank, staring eyes are not convincing me to invest in her product.

 

I'd think someone so anal retentive about spelling would also watch their grammar! See if you can find the fourth grade error here:

"Therefore, those of you who want to tell me how special Dr. Tendler are but cannot spell words such as "memorable" or even "weird" are simply showing their ignorance."


What a jackass the person who made this post are!

 

OK just saw the commercial and paid really close attention. One of the weirdest things she does is right after she says, "twice a day:" She rolls her tongue in her mouth while she's nodding in a phony corporate "convincing" way. That's the move she makes that's so insectoid -- like she has a big moth proboscis coiled up in her lips and she's getting ready to strike like a frog snapping up a fly. That and her eyes while she's telling the camera the boilerplates about how Restasis isn't tested in eye herpes, etc. Her presentation is ridiculously contrived and not like a human being acts or speaks.

As fake as it gets. This shit must work on some of the people some of the time, or the drug companies wouldn't be so married to the fake-o presentations they ask us to make.

 

Having this lady promote a treatment for chronic dry eye is like having these people promote requip (to treat restless leg syndrome, roughly an equally serious ailment):
