Dr. Tapper, Nurse Practitioner Dana, and all of the staff at Symmetry treated me with the utmost respect and encouraged me knowing I was scared to have surgery on my carotid artery. Having this surgery will allow me to live longer. Thank y’all so much for your profession. My neck is healed and my neck incision is nearly nonexistent, Dr. Tapper should have been a plastic surgeon 😘 Thank you again to Kris and the girls working the front desk. -Shirley

I am not sure yet how I feel about Dr. Tapper, I do agree he could work on his bedside manner. I have been waiting for a call back from someone on his staff and still have not received a call back. I called Tara for two days and she has yet to call when it seemed my problem was urgent. Still waiting.

After three children, my legs were wrecked with varicose veins. At only 42, I hated to show my legs and frankly my legs hurt so much I hardly exercised or did any physical activity of any kind. Thanks to Dr. Tapper and his great staff my legs look like they did prior to giving birth and I feel great. Dr. Tapper, you gave me my life back! thank you

I came in to be seen by Dr. Topper, since I was past due with my vein doctor up north. Up north I had over 30 procedures done over a 5-year period. Very little of it was cosmetic. It was a couple of years since my legs had been checked and I thought he would do an ultra-sound to make sure that I did not have any more leaking large veins. After a very brief 1-minute consultation, he told me he did not "SEE" anything he could bill to my insurance. I said I needed deep ones checked because my legs hurt all the time. He did nothing. He told me I could go to his nurse to have some "cosmetic" work done. I left and decided to see a different doctor who took more interest in his patients. I have had a clot in my leg in the past few years. He has terrible bedside manner, I was holding back tears because he just brushed me off. Was it too much to actually check to be sure the reason for my pain was nothing serious. Well I will never go back. I will drive to Jupiter instead.

2 other doctors ignored my problem, Dr Tapper listened and in 2 minutes told me what was wrong with my arteries. He then arranged for a procedure that fixed my leg as good as new. I'm back to golf and family activities. What a blessing to have met him.

Dr. Tapper replaced the artery in my left leg from the groin down to the calf. Although he does not have a warm personality, he is an excellent physician. I recommend him strongly.

Told me that my condition was "hopeless." I left feeling worse than I did when I went in.

THE BEST! His skill saved both my legs and my life. He takes the time to explain and answer questions. Many of my neighbors have been to Dr. Tapper and feel the same way. I would recommend him highly. And there's that smile that can light up a room!
