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.

Poor Attitude
Very unpleasant, and unprofessional. This doctor was the on call for my grandson, she was very rude, and made my daughter in law cry. Using a pump for the first time, and yes she was trained. The doctor made her feel stupid instead of trying to be supportive and help, which a child doctor should be. This doctor will be reported to the board for her attitude, and total lack of support, and help. On call, means being there to help, not degrade.

Dr. Tapiador was easy to talk to and addressed my concerns and questions. She explained things to me in an easy to understand way without talking down to me. She was very friendly with my son, and gave me options on how to go about treatment. She listened to my opinions, was patient and overall had very professional bedside manner.

My daughter was type 1 diabetic since age 8. She was her doctor until she turned 21. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. She was always very precise and got personable. It was hard leaving Children's and Doctor Tapidore because she in a way was family. I highly recommend her.
