Dr. Tatro is an amazing doctor!! I am so thankful to him for his kindness and conscientious. I HIGHLY recommend him.
Excellent bedside manner, friendly, personable, unrushed, and answered all my questions.
This was my first visit since Dr. Kao retired. He did not take the time to listen to me at all and seemed like he was preoccupied by other thoughts.
He is very professional and knowledgeable as well as personable.
Everyone involved was very nice and made me feel at ease, including the doctor.
HE Understand my issues and HE Talked with me not to me.
