Dr. Tabor was very involved in what he was doing with me and I had very high blood pressure and he immediately sent me to the hospital. So he was wonderful to deal with.
This dr. has operated on me before. I could not ask for a better one. .
All of the staff was very professional. I was very pleased with all of them, especially Dr. John Tabor in explaining my medical condition, and listening to my wife and I. So, good job by the staff, great job by the staff.
This provider was very respectful, made me feel very confident that everything would be fine, that I am in great hands. And Baton Rouge General of Blue Bonnet is already a favorite hospital of mine. I've always been treated with excellence.
