I visited the Dr. Tavares about 7 times in the past 8 months and it is the same thing every time I go. I get called back about 15-30 minutes after my appointment time. I sit in the room for another 15-30 minutes. He shows up for 30 seconds to a minute and then he is gone. He has no clue who I am or what any of my medical issues are. Every time I try to talk to him he focuses on one thing I said and doesn't hear anything else. Does this sound like a doctor that cares? I didn't think so either!
