Absolutely fantastic!! Dr. Tassone made me feel comfortable and well taken care of. Extremely likable personality. Wasn't afflicted with a "God complex" yet was obviously very knowledgable and on top of his game. I am thrilled to have him and his amazing staff with me on the most important journey of my life.

Comfortable atmosphere!!
More than 1 year agoTamara R.Verified patient
Everyone in the office was super friendly and helpful. I was hesitant to have a male OBGYN, but Dr. Tassone was awesome and put me at ease immediately. I felt just about as comfortable as one can possibly be while having a stranger look inside your genitals. Would absolutely recommend this office and Dr. Tassone!
He also gave me some great recommendations after my appt for yoga, physical therapy, and acupuncture that I was not expecting from a Dr. office. As someone who values both conventional/ alternative practices, it was SO appreciated.

October 8, 2015Susan H.Verified patient
Dr. Tassone is a great doctor! Informative but not cold, caring but not overbearing. I was nervous to see a new doctor, but I immediately felt comfortable in the office.
August 22, 2015Leah S.Verified patient
He is AMAZING!!! Very professional and courteous. I was nervous of course going to an Gynecologist but he made everything relaxing and comfortable. He talked to me through the whole procedure which took the stress off of me. I wish I had found him sooner because he is a awesome doctor and has AMAZING bed side manners. Everyone in the office was nice.
September 8, 2015Karen M.Verified patient
Dr. Tassone was very warm and welcoming. He got straight to the point and didn't make me wait ages to see him. His nurse was fantastic, as well. The receptionist was new, but sweet and has a lot of potential once she gets into the swing of things. All in all, the quality of the office was, all around, very welcoming and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Tassone's office to any of my friends. Nor can I wait to go back for my next visit.
July 23, 2015Brittany G.Verified patient

He was awsome!
More than 1 year agoErica J.Verified patient
I had booked an appointment with Dr Tassone for a gynecological exam because I wanted someone with a fully recognized medical background to assess me-aside from my midwifery practice who was responsible for my prenatal primary care. He did not perform a thorough exam and practically ushered me out the door because I was not looking to switch primary care. This to me is a major flaw of medical professionals who values liability or other concerns over providing quality care for each patient.
April 9, 2014Stacy R.Verified patient
The facility was very nice as was the staff. I was also impressed with Dr. Tassone's professionalism and bedside manner. He was energetic and friendly but at the same time seemed knowledgeable and trustworthy.
March 19, 2014Initials hidden
I have never had a better experience with a gynecologist from front to back office interaction and everything in between. he is extremely knowledgeable and a great listener. i feel like all of my concerns were addressed, questions answered, and the appointment was thorough and not rushed at all. i finally found a gem!!!
More than 1 year agoNova T.Verified patient
He's not the typical ego driven doc...practicing bio-identical hormones for years...maybe over a decade. Looking for a bio-identical doctor in Austin who takes insurance...he's your guy.
