I was treated well and felt respected. thank you.
Dr Tafa was a good listener & did check my throat, ears, chest. Very personable & thorough.
Hi, Dr. Tafa was just great. I am so happy that I found him in the hospital. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to any of my relatives or friends. I couldn't have been happier with my visit. Thank you.
Dr. Tafa was wonderful, explained everything. He is our new primary provider. We moved from up north and we will absolutely be using him so he has three new patients. I don't like that new telephone system that Hackensack has. It's horrible, where you cannot call a doctor's office. I do not like that at all, but the doctor was wonderful.
My appointment was on time and my doctor explained everything to me
