Patient Reviews
Aug 12, 2025
In 2016 my husband was sent to Centra Hospital for emergecy care because he had a severe heart attack and the doctors said he would not last another night in the condition he was in. Doctor Tavaf was assigned to his care and performed by-pass surgery on him. after his surgery Doctor Tavaf wanted him to go to cardiac rehab but the insurance company said they would not pay for the rehab. Doctor Tavaf refused to release him and kept contending with the insurance company until they agreed to pay. I would recommed Doctor Tavaf to anyone who needs a caring, copassionate doctor who puts his patient ahead of profit. I sent my sister to him and I am in the process of making an appointment for myself. I have an aortic aneurysm and I would not trust any other doctor with my care.
