This was my first appointment with Dr, Tapscott. I arrived about 10 mins. early. I only waited a few mins. and then I was called back. I was very impressed with Dr. Tapscott. He was very pleasant as he introduced hisself. He showed me my results of my MRI and explained everything that needed to be done. I was nervous about the appointment but after I met Dr. Tapscott the nerves went away.

Dr. David Tapscott is an excellent physician. He has been treating me for about 10 months for a shoulder injury. Through injections and physical therapy I was able to avoid surgery. I have already referred several of my friends to him. As you can see we have the same last name and are distantly related. My first office visit with him was the first time we met.

We met dr tapscott in memorial e.r. He needs to work on bedside manner. He says he cares about people but his attitude stunk. We didnt care about how he talked to our family. He needs to show compassion and don't treat people like their stupid. I am glad we went to orthopedic center of illinois and dr.senica instead. I would not recommend him unless you have to send a person you absouately cant stand! Believe me when he came in room hought God showed up!!!!!??????
