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. Tabershaw, all the PA's, and his office staff are all amazing. He did both my shoulders . He's a kind and caring man and will do the right thing for you.

Went to him for a consult for a knee that was locking up when I did squats or bent down . Well he said I had a torn meniscus , told me he could repair it with Laparoscopic surgery. When I came out of surgery he told me he could not repair the tear so he took out the part of the meniscus he could not repair ? I did not give him permission to do anything but repair , I had no pain it just locked up / well fast forward 6 months and know I’m going to get injections for the pain in the knee because the knee is now bone on bone because of his surgery I did not authorize!!! Fast forward a year and I had to get a knee replacement ( not by him ) my life will never be the same !! The guy is a butcher anything for a buck !! Don’t go to this guy !

I have had two rotator cuff surgeries by Dr. Tabershaw. He was very professional and very understanding. He is a great doctor that I would recommend to anyone in need of such care. His staff are great with all the necessary aftercare needs.

Dr. Tabershaw is a great surgeon. He repaired my rotator cuff tear, and I am so grateful to him. I have full range of motion again and feel like myself. I highly recommend him and his office. A doctor that knows what he’s doing and gets great results. His office staff is also reallly nice and helpful.

Dr T, PA's and staff are excellent. He did both my Carpal tunnel and shoulder surgeries and was very pleased with both. He takes the time to explain everything to you very thoroughly and will answer all your questions! I highly recommend him!

The worst staff I was ever encounter at a doctors office; I was a prospective new patient that decided to seek another orthopedist. Staff was rude, unprofessional, had an attitude and talked to me as I was an idiot and I work in the insurance profession so I work with doctors offices all day long. Very disappointing, I will not recommend.

I had a great experience with Dr. Tabershaw. He did not try to immediately operate like other orthopedists i've seen, but instead had me start out with physical therapy which wound up being successful. As an athlete I've had many injuries and just wish i found him sooner. My knee feels great and overall my experience was a really positive one. I will definitely be sticking with him.

I broke my foot just before Christmas and he was kind enough to get me into the office right away. He explained everything to me, even though I was hoping for better news, he told be the truth. He was thorough and showed me my x-rays and explained how long I was going to be tied up in a cast. I would most definitely recommend Dr. Tabershaw!
