Patient Reviews
Apr 08, 2022
Dr Tamargo is one of the most respected, caring, and appreciated neurosurgeons today. I personally was under his care in March of 2019 for 3 non ruptured brain aneurysms and the service that I got from the hospital once they knew I was his patient went from excellent to phenomenal. He’s definitely at the top of his class. I’ve emailed his office manager and Dr Tamargo has always gotten back to me within 24 hours. I’ve even had a post op follow up with Dr Tamargo and as I was leaving he walked out with me and told me that he’s so happy to be able to see people like myself have such success and apologized for rushing my appointment but there was a patient being emergency flown up to Baltimore from the Cayman Islands that has a ruptured brain aneurysm and he’s rushing to emergency surgery. This man took the time to meet with me and then sped off to go save a life. I wouldn’t recommend any else over Dr. Tamargo.
