Tammy Baxter's Online Review Report Card

I have to say you have a great team of physicians/providers. I can’t say enough about my experience so far. They have all been amazing! The mid-level providers are just as amazing! I love Dr. Baxter!! She has been wonderful. The nurses have been awesome too. I didn’t really realize how extensive my surgery was going to be, but I sure am glad I landed with your group of physicians. It makes me feel so much better!!!

Dr Baxter is first class, and on time and down to earth. Easy to work with, she was able to identify and resolve my issue. Other doctors did not take the time to review my problem properly. Dr Baxter is hands on and complete. I highly recommend doctor Baxter.

I couldn’t have ask for a better staff to take of my needs. The staff went above and beyond I won’t refer anyone to any other hospital but Centennial I feel comfortable and at ease with my life in their hands. Keep up the excellent work.

I have seen Dr. Baxter at Centennial for the past three years for issues with a mass in my chest. She has operated on me twice and I have been to her office multiple times. She is very pleasant and very professionally - not to mention proficient in what she does. Just as important to me, she and her entire staff are very personable and take a real interest in me personally. This is rare in the medical profession today, so I want to make sure that others know this before they choose which medical professional they want to use.

very good experience; we were there or another appointment and needed to be seen and she was kind enough to see us that day and set an appointment for the next week for a biopsy

I am very please Centennial Thoracic. Dr Baxter and Staff are very concerned for your health. They take the time to listen and explain your issues so that you completely understand. I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Baxter.

This lady saved my life. I'm not exaggerating I'm literally saying she saved my life.I had pneumonia and was admitted to the ICU because i couldn't breathe. They transferred me to centennial where she is due to her being one of the best thoracic surgeons anywhere near me. They immediately placed a drain into my left lung which had almost completely collapsed and within 15 minutes they received 2 liters of fluid and it was a non-stop drain.She gave me a few days to see if i would take to the 4 continuous antibiotics they were pumping into me via IV. Well i didn't get better, if anything i got worse. She rushed me into surgery immediately and i mean from the time the words "were going to have to go to the surgical route I'm sorry but your just to sick and your not getting any better" she was in the OR within 30 minutes ready for me.They had to stop 4 times during surgery due to both my lungs being so bad that she had to wait until the right lung filled up before she could work then once it deflated she waited again.I basically died 3 Times during surgery but she knew exactly what to do and was on top of it even as bad as i was.I came out of surgery incubated for more than a day then on 5 liters of oxygen after they removed it.Now I'm in a rehabilitation facility to learn to walk, use the bathroom and about every other function due to even me rolling over I'd have a severe breathing attack with extreme shortness of breath. That was a month ago. Right this minute I'm sitting up on a hospital bed in the rehab facility. I walk unassisted and on bad days with a cane. Both drains she installed after surgery (forgot to tell you that part, she took the first out and installed two 14" long 3/4" diameter drains going straight into my left lung) have been taken out completely and I'm looking to finally go home sometime this week.This woman saved my life and i can never, ever repay that. I'm trying by i stopped smoking completely to honor the gift she's given me. If you need a surgeon and you have the chance to be blessed enough to have her then relax because your in the best hands period. Yes it might be a long recovery BUT she will give you life!I thank GOD for her and even if you have to travel to see her DO IT! Don't put your life in jeopardy and be rolling the dice instead go for the sure thing!

Great and positive experience in every way! Dr. Baxter was insightful encouraging and easy to understand. She paid attention to everything we were concerned with and we left her office filled with lots of hope and lots of beneficial information. So grateful!

The doctor and her staff actually waited for me to get to her office. After she examined me she shoed me the ct scan and explaoned what I had. Her explaination was excellent. She then asked if there were any questions. We then scheduled surgery. Her staff followed up with a phone call and went over all the information and instructions. Again as before she ended with do you have any questions. We feel we are in good hands
