Dr. Tatter made accurate diagnoses and explained everything in a manner that I could understand. He and his assistant, Mark, were very professional and made sure that I not only understood what was happening to me, but what my options were and the best course of action that I should take. I had a crainiotomy, and while scarring is inevitable, he helps to make sure that your hair can hide it. I can't thank this man and his office enough. They saved my life.

My father was treated by Dr. Tatter using the gamma knife for trigeminal neuralgia and the results were nothing short of miraculous.
