I have been a patient of Dr. Nicholas Tarola in Murfreesboro for a number of years, primarily for various occurrences of a variety of skin cancers. He has also treated my wife several times. We both have been very impressed with his surgical skills and the results of his work. I have tried several other doctors in the past and none have given me the confidence, satisfaction and respect for his skills. Add on the warm and friendly treatment received from all of his employees and you have the feeling of “being part of a family.” Both my wife and I highly recommend Dr. Nicholas Tarola so you too, can enjoy the level of confidence we have.

Dr Tarola & his staff are AMAZING, and he's truly a perfectionist with a meticulous eye for the small details that truly matter to a woman that is simply trying to regain some sense of "normal" beauty after Breast Cancer. He waged war with me against this terrible disease, and everything that attempted to stop us as we matched forward. I'd go to battle with him as my surgeon any day!! I can't thank him enough for NEVER giving up, even when others wanted us to....he saved me!!

I would highly recommend Dr. Tarola and his staff if considering having your breast implants removed with capsulectomy. Dr. Tarola does a beautiful en bloc, takes photos in the operating room, and submits tissue for pathology and cultures. The office makes the entire process as easy as possible.

So pleased with my reconstruction after double mastectomy. Dr Tarola was so professional and kind. He took time to answer all my questions before and after my procedure. His staff is soooo friendly and I have even used him for some lipo. I have recommended him to family and they used him as well. I highly recommend him.
