Ellis Tavin Md's Online Review Report Card

Great doctor, great experience.

Dr Tavin gave me the confidence to be me. Approximately twelve years I decided to have my nose done and he did amazing work. I used to wear my hair around my face to try and hide my nose. Just having confidence to pull my hair back and feel great about my profile meant so much to me. Last year, June 2021 I went to him for a breast lift. I am 60 years young, have three adult children and nursed all three of my babies for at least ten months each. Needless to say that made my breasts sag and I was just not happy with them at all. Dr Tavin was again very professional. He listened to me and knew immediately what I wanted. He did amazing!! I had a breast lift with moderate implants and I have never felt so confident. I will recommend him to everyone. Dr Tavin and his staff are fantastic.

Terrible!!! He has no compassion for patients (my mother whom was his patient after breast cancer) and it’s all about the $$$ . Go down the road and pay the same amount and receive fabulous care that you are never a dollar sign there.

I had a left breast implant rupture. Dr Tavis refused to accept my Blue Cross Tn. I had siliconosis. He said "you paid to put them in you can pay to take them out ". Blue Cross had me file and send in the medical coding to get the 80 % paid eventually. He did not put the implants in ,that surgeon had passed away . He was abrupt , rude, violated my hippa rights by showing my removed implants to my sister in recovery room how "he got all the silicone out" on his cell phone. I was half awake .I asked to see . He said no I'll show you on your return appt when you aren't sedated. " Two weeks later I went to have a mammogram at the specialist who referred me to this surgeon. Silicone was spread in my right breast area and the left still . I took the report back to Dr.Tavin , he was very unconcerned. Now I have lymphatic issues, autoimmune ,and going into hospital for diagnostics. I'm very fatigued and Ill. He said "it's not from the silicone ,see a general practitioner".Please don't use this physician. He's all about the money. He told me it's not silicone and didn't bother to take an ultrasound etc. He simply said it's probably other issues . 6 mo later ,more residual silicone was found on diagnostic mammo....Dr. Roy Oswacks is my specialist. . I have to be admitted to hospital now for all types of autoimmune testing . Very ill with lymph nodes swollen and infected from bacterial infection in nodes spreading and short of breathe. I'm so sick.. He's all about the money. Uncaring and rude.

Dr. Tavin removed a melanoma from my cheek. This required three sessions involving some considerable reconstructive surgery, and a horrible wound. Within a few months, there was scant evidence of surgery, and I was left virtually without a scar. Besides his abilities as a surgeon, Dr. Tavin is a warm and compassionate human being, a man who really cares about his patients and his work. This attitude is reflected in his staff, who make his patients feel more like members of the family than patients in a hospital or clinic. I couldn't be more pleased with the results of dr. Tavin's surgery, and I recommend him without equivocation as a superb physician and surgeon.

Dr. T. was informative, gave easy to understand explanations and was obviously extreemely skilled based on results!

I would not recommend him at all, he is just about money, not about helping sick people.
