Patient Reviews
Mar 29, 2022
I am writing this review because I feel it is a small way to express my gratitude to Dr. El Tamer for helping save my life. Not only is he an exceptionally skilled surgeon, but he also has warm and caring and professional bedside manner. After getting a second opinion from him for breast cancer treatment I opted to have the surgery ( a lumpectomy with axillary lymph node removal) done by him because he explained everything in a very clear and professional manner, was working with the latest in technology and he was also warm and caring and I immediately felt that I could trust him. He patiently responded to all my concerns and questions ands very knowledgeable . I also need to mention that in my opinion he is a true artist since he was able to restore my breast beautifully after removing a golfball sized part of it. It looks and feels almost the same as before, I have no idea how this was even possible. I give him the highest marks and would recommend him to everybody !!!!
