Weclome to the site! What a surprise to hear your surgeon recommended us to you.  There are lots of experiences on here.

I am a very lucky individual to have Dr. Tim Taber as my specialist. He does NOT beat around the bush, but tells it like it is!!!  But lately, I have been seeing  more of the human side of he personality.  He is full of info and does a great job answering all my questions. Sincerely hope the rest of you are as lucky and I!  :bandance;

Wow, you and I have the same doctor! He is definitely full of info, and doesn't hold anything back. I really like him, but I won't have him much longer, because I'm going to be switching to a different doctor who will prescribe nocturnal home hemodialysis for me. Dr. Taber really wants me to get a transplant, which is a good thing, but I'm just not quite ready to go that route just yet. I think he is one of the most knowledgeable and honest medical professionals I've ever known, and I will miss having him as my doc.
