The best pediatrician in Sarasota. I am so happy to have found Dr Tavarez for my son. I come from a pediatrics family and all of my relatives are in other parts of FL, and Dr. Tavarez truly stands out. My own family were happy with my choice and agree with his recommendations and treatments.

We are so happy to have Dr T here in Lakewood Ranch. After our lifetime pediatrician Dr R. Shamsey retired, we saw 2-3 providers in the same office but nobody like Dr Tavarez. He is caring, smart, very thorough and accurate. Great to have him here.
