He was not very courteous. Seem disinterested in what I was saying/my concerns. And asked me, "If you have had this for 12 years why are you seeking treatment now?' Was not very professional and was body shaming me.

Dr. Tandar is amazing. I learned so much about my condition and options for my treatment in a very short period of time. I very much appreciate Dr. Tandar taking the time to meet with me and keeping my treatment on track. He was able to review my case, explain the next steps and options. He told me his concerns what that meant to my treatment in a straight forward and caring manner. He placed the referral and procedure orders to keep my treatment on track.
