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.

Takes the time
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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Tafen-Wandji?
Dr. Tafen is the best. He placed a feeding gastrostomy in my husband in 2015 and in any necessary replacement followup visits he is always quick to respond and reassuring to both my husband and myself. His staff is always responsive and helpful in getting us an appointment with Dr. Tafen as quickly as possible which is critical to our peace of mind. We would definitely recommend Dr. Tafen without reservation.
