Patient Reviews
Sep 22, 2020
Dr. Tappel is a great pediatrician. He carefully examines my children and never seems rushed even though I know he must be. He makes eye contact and calmly speaks to children in a respectful, engaging way. He provides clear instruction and guidance for the plan of care.
