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.

My experience with this doctor has been great. Sends me to specialists when needed and also allows time for you to express your concerns. Over 10 years of being his patient and with his persuasion, to another M.D. , because having too many illnesses, back with his group and many specialists he has set me up with! Feel confidant with his service.

This Dr. Is the worst family doctor I've ever went to. He doesn't listen, he talks down at his patients , he doesn't respect any other doctors diagnosis and treatment you were treated by for years.even though he has your transcripts Won't continue you on medications you have been taking for years or proper doses. When In room spends all the time talkin to his recorder device. His holistic mentality is forced upon you even if you don't believe in it. The guy has god complex. DETEST this man.

Unhappy Patient in Bay City, MI – Sep 01, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Tamez?
Doctor tamez. Did not help me at all and don't know reasons why I was denied pain meds or did he ask me about my kidney stone. He was not professional towards my multiple sclerosis issue's and stated he will be weaning others off pain meds whom he sees. Doctor tamaz to me was very unprofessional in his manner and stated I was there only to get pain meds. I stated was trying to change doctors who take my insurance. Very unprofessional with me as I was in much pain #8. Todd Ward is my name.

Dr. Tamez was a very cold and has a poor bedside manner. I felt like I was just another donor to his bank account rather than a patient. Not very friendly. I have to be beaten and dragged to go to a doctor so when I finally go for a check up I was not happy. I had a list of issues I wanted to discuss and his response was "So are you here for a checkup or these other issues? We only have time for one or the other." 5 Years since I have been to the doctor to get checked out and it was a 100% waste
