Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Tauer is the best oncologist ever. He is so experienced and stays up-to-date on new research and treatment options. He is so patient and so compassionate. He is the best of the best.

lack of concern was overwhelming. The office feels like a money making operation. Very difficult to get call backs from nursing staff

Been a patient of Dr Tauer since 1995. After moving to Kentucky we still travel to Germantown to see Dr Tauer. I wouldn't go anyplace else. He is a very caring passionate doctor who care about his parents. He listens to anything you need to talk to him about and always has an answer for you. Very smart doctor.

Dr. Tauer and his team gave me the most phenomenal care. Treating me for Triple Negative Breast Cancer, he was always honest, compassionate, and completely caring. I always knew I was getting the best care I could have ever asked for.

Great Oncoclogist. Takes time to give you options and tapes conversations gives you a copy on a DVD so you can go home and listen to what was said.
