May 4, 2015Jason S.Verified patient
Amazing doctor but the reception staff is not professional at all. They do not manage appointments well - each time I had to wait for more than one hour to see the doctor and the staff seems to get annoyed if you ask questions about the wait time

Great
December 12, 2014Matthew F.Verified patient
I loved the Dr. And his PA, Adrian, however I thought the secretaries at the front desk were very unprofessional. The waiting room was very packed and I could hear the ladies cursing and complaining behind the desk.

Dr. Tabershaw was wonderful, as was his PA. However the wait time was about an hour.... Even when I had all of my paperwork completed before the appointment time....

My 10 year old went to see Dr. Tabershaw for knee, hip pain. He was diagnosed with Crohn's disease last year. He saw a pediatric rheumatologist prior to this that recommended he see an orthopedic because MRI showed tear in hip (which was not a big deal), but since the appointment Dylan's GI suggested Remicade, and it has worked wonders. Dr. Tabershaw asked if he was on Remicade and he wasn't at that point. He is very personable, as well as his staff. Highly recommend!

The office is very efficiently run. My son was examined, x-rayed and diagnosed quickly. The doctor put a cast on and we obtained a note for school. They are professionals
September 8, 2014Andrew H.Verified patient
It would have been helpful if the initial visit paperwork could have been supplied to me before the visit so I didn't have to spend 20 minutes filling out paperwork, which could have sped up waiting time.

Very busy office; front desk very busy but all were professional. Was pleased to have an appointment so quickly and PA and Doctor were both very helpful and answered questions. Would recommend.
The physical office is large but the waiting area could use a refresh. Today the AC unit was very loud so hard to hear names being called.

He was very thorough with his exam and explained everything in a way that I could understand. Would definitely refer friends and family to him.
