Dr. Tafich was VERY patient with my complaints. Due to his poor availability as my primary physician I took advantage of being able to sneak an appointment with him. I had several complaints in addition to the reason why I was there. He was very professional and thorough even though I knew I was taking more time than allowed for the appointment. Dr. Tafich gave me outstanding care and I would be very happy to recommend him to anyone.
