I was afraid when I first got my diagnosis. I was referred to Dr. Tigges and he took all those cares away immediately. He gave me a reassurance that calmed everything down right away. He is a wonderful surgeon and doctor. I don't know what I would have done without him! I highly recommend this excellent doctor.

Dr. Tigges is thoughtful and has a very good bedside manner. He asks questions that help me make important decisions about my health. He is respectful and makes physical exams less uneasy, because he is conscientious about my privacy. He considers what I think is important, rather than telling me what I should do.

This was by far the best experience I had with a surgeon!! He was great with explaining what was going on and my recovery was amazing. Unlike the four surgeries from other surgeons I didn't get an infection from this surgery nor did I have a huge incision. Thank you!! Staff was wonderful as well.

Don't select this doctor. He operated on the wrong site and left unclear margins. Said he just went into the 1st incision he saw!!!

Don't select this doctor -- IMO choose another physician. He operated on wrong site and admitted his error.

Don't hesitate to put your medical health in the hands of Dr. Tigges. There is not a finer surgeon anywhere. There is not another doctor anywhere that cares about his patients more than Dr. Tigges.
