Philosophy of Care

I have been an ardent advocate for patient participation and engagement in all aspects of each patient's care. My view is that the patient and family should always be at the center and the focus of every treatment and care decision that is made. Our division has always made a concerted effort to involve the patient and family in shared decision making. We are excited that we will be launching a new and innovative initiative that will create a clinical dashboard for each and every patient we take care of. It will be a huge step forward in allowing patients to understand their disease, treatment choices and their personal patient journey.

Great experience. I was in and out quicker then expected.

I have never had a more caring doctor. He made me feel comfortable from the time he walked in. He spent so much time with me going over my MRI. He explained things to me that no other doctor has, and I have been to many. He was genuinely concerned & caring. I even told the front desk how great he was. I worked with many doctors & never saw the compassion like this doctor. He is truly an inspiration to the health community.

I think Dr. Tamir Tawfik is a excellent, wonderful doctor. I think he's a very caring man and caring doctor and listens and really cares and concerns about what your problems are and tries to help you and I think he is just a wonderful doctor. Thank you.

The script he wrote for ESI after I left sat in my folder until I called where was it.
