Patient Reviews
Dec 08, 2022
Dr. Tawa is outstanding. He is friendly, warm, empathetic and interested in you as a person. He is a surgeon who clearly knows his stuff, but he does not come across as arrogant or condescending as many great surgeons might. He makes himself available for support and consultation more than is even necessary. His team handle all the details with courtesy and efficiency. I appreciate him and feel like I am in good hands with him as my surgeon and doctor.
