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 T gave me a long life of flying
After an angina attack on vacation in Scotland in2003 I was flown home to Corpus Christi for bypass surgery. I have been symptom free since the quintuple bypass was performed and well enough to pass the physical to fly my plane. I’m 81 now and still passing physicals to fly and continue flying. Every time I take off I thank Dr T .

I am the daughter of a patient Dr. Tavares operated on yesterday. I had read his credentials and reviews prior to Dad's surgery. I was so impressed in person. Dr. Tavares met me early in the day prior to surgery. About 11 that night when I was making my way to see Dad, Dr. Tavares remembered who I belonged to and stopped to give me an update. The ICU was overflowing and there were about 40 people in the waiting rooms. The volume of people made that even more impressive. Thank God for Dr. Tavares

While I was not a patient myself, my dad was. My dad had a surgery done in 2012 to repair an anuerysm on his ascending aorta. He had surgery on this day, December 9, 2015 for an abdominal anuerysm. Sadly, my dad did not make it. But, Dr. Tavares and his staff have done so well with my dad. Dr. Tavares stayed and worked on my dad for close to 12 hours. He came by ICU often and checked on him, stayed with my mom, brother, sister and I while my dad passed on. He offered us great support. Thank you.

In my opinion Dr. Tavares saved my fathers life today with a very complicated lung surgery: I don't know enough about him yet to give him a rating higher than this service allows but I I intend to find out if that is possible. Thank you Dr. Taveres!! From our whole family. Sincerely, Tom Farmer, Dallas, Texas.
