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.

A True Artist
I am writing this review because I feel it is a small way to express my gratitude to Dr. El Tamer for helping save my life. Not only is he an exceptionally skilled surgeon, but he also has warm and caring and professional bedside manner. After getting a second opinion from him for breast cancer treatment I opted to have the surgery ( a lumpectomy with axillary lymph node removal) done by him because he explained everything in a very clear and professional manner, was working with the latest in technology and he was also warm and caring and I immediately felt that I could trust him. He patiently responded to all my concerns and questions ands very knowledgeable . I also need to mention that in my opinion he is a true artist since he was able to restore my breast beautifully after removing a golfball sized part of it. It looks and feels almost the same as before, I have no idea how this was even possible. I give him the highest marks and would recommend him to everybody !!!!

Dr. El-Tamer is an excellent dr. Trusting his decision was by far the best decision I made in 2018. He was very clear and truthful with the diagnosis and treatment to follow and that’s why the treatment and surgery were such a success.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. El-Tamer. There are a number of reviews that mention less than stellar bedside manner. But I found Dr. El-Tamer to be warm, caring, smart and professional all at the same time. He was very thorough and informative in a clear and very respectful manner. I have to add that this is particularly high praise from me since I am rarely impressed by medical providers. Thank you Dr. El-Tamer!

I would give this person a ZERO star if I could!! Simply put..DO NOT go to this doctor. He was very impatient and displayed an arrogant attitude with me during my visit..worst person I've ever met. I simply can not trust this person nor his judgement.
