    If I would have had this procedure done locally without Dr. Tandar preforming it, I do not think I would have had as good of an outcome as I did.

    Besides being remarkably gifted in his field.He communicates with patients around the clock, including the weekend. The moment he sees the lab results, he will provide you with ample explanation and recommendations. Please ask him to provide your other providers with a presentation to how to care for patients.Many of your physicians do not communicate with or respond to patients. Ask him to teach other doctors about compassion, empathy and bed side manners. My very high rating for Dr. Tandar is due to being an exemplary provider, whom not only possess remarkable knowledge, skills and his abilities in his field, but even more important, due position of strong emotional intelligence, bed side manners, empathy and compassion. I can assure you that, as a patient, I believe that he is superior to any graduate of ivy league institution. He is a gift to us all. If he ever leaves your hospital, I will follow, along with so many other patients and staff.
