Patient Reviews
May 29, 2024
After watching all of the other doctors enter the waiting room and say a couple of words and then leave, it was really good when Dr. Tafun took the time to move to a side room and explain what went on during surgery. Everything went good but it took longer than expected so he walked me through the what and more importantly the why of the surgery. He is a definite credit to the profession.
