“Dr. Tapia is great. I was seeing him as a new patient because the prior physician, who I saw 4 yrs ago, is no longer with the practice. He was attentive, he listened to my concerns, he gave me feedback and he additionally took the time to show me different things to look for. He pulled images from online to help with my understanding. He’s very personable. While I absolutely hope that I do not need to see him again, if lab work says otherwise, I would be very comfortable with being his patient.

“My appointment was first rescheduled, but when i got to see the doctor i learned that he doesn’t treat my condition normally, however he helped set me up with a basic treatment plan and referred me to someone who does. He was professional and seemed very caring. I highly recommend him. The appointment was worth the wait”

I do not feel like he took the time to really listen enough for me to explain why I was there, and there was no follow up.

Awful experience. Dr didn’t even see me. Was supposed to see him for my fibromyalgia but “he doesn’t see patients for that” RUDE staff!!!

Received a call the night before my appt informing me he’s not the right Dr for me
This is after a no show appt and a rescheduled appt by the same Dr …..
October 14, 2025Robert M.Verified patient
My first review was intended for the office staff, rather than the actual doctor and his staff. The actual doctor was fantastic, and his nurse was equally great. I would highly recommend this practitioner.
October 13, 2025Drew L.Verified patient
The check-in process was very unclear. Waiting for almost an hour, I was then told that I had to rebook, even though it was their mistake. I waited for over a month for this appointment.
September 23, 2025Drew L.Verified patient

February 27, 2025Charles M.Verified patient
I was very impressed with Dr. Tapia’s professionalism and efficiency. Very knowledgeable, accurate, attentive and caring doctor. Addressed every concern and recommended the next steps to take regarding my illness. He is intelligent, attentive, and a very good listener. I didn’t feel at all rushed through my appointment. His staff is friendly, and courteous.
Dr. Tapia was empathetic, kind and understanding of my issues, He sent me for x-rays right after the appointment and already scheduled our follow up. I was more than happy with the service received.
Dr Tapia was great. Made me feel at ease and was thorough and gentle. I couldn't have asked for more
September 25, 2024Gladys C.Verified patient
The doctor did not assist me in figuring out my problems and I had to call several times. It’s very discouraging to be told nothing is wrong with you when something clearly is.
