Dr. William D. Tap, MD

I highly recommend him

Dr. Tap is very caring and professional. He cares very much about your care and quality of life. An outstanding doctor in every way. Glad I am under his dedicated care. Thank you Dr. Tap!

I have a very rare cancer, Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of the esophagus (GIST). Less than 0.3% of cancers diagnosed each year are esophageal GIST. I was impressed to find that Dr. Tap has about 15 patients with esophageal GIST that he is following/treating. I had been referred to Dr. Tap for a second opinion by another oncologist who was aggressively recommending a esophagectomy - radical surgery with many risks and frequent serious complications. Dr. Tap's experience has been that GIST that is located only in the esophagus has been able to be kept in check by the targeted therapy drug, Gleevec without requiring surgery - what a relief! He carefully monitors my tumor with CT and PET scans every 3 months at this stage. Dr. Tap is also involved with a number of clinical drug trials for new potential targeted therapies for GIST. He also speaks at conferences including GIST support groups like LifeRaft.org I am impressed with his knowledge, experience, and thoroughness reassuring manner… in answering all my questions and concerns - never rushing me. I couldn't be in better hands than Dr. Tap.

Being a MD PhD. My son was stricken with a fast and very aggressive cancer, sarcoma. I set out to get him the very best from coast to coast using my contact. Shockingly, I was totally taken-back, when everyone said Dr. William Tap. Every comment I have read on his page says everything I could say. My collogues were dead on, He is the best Oncologist in his specialties hands-down. He has the respect of drug manufactures, his professionalism, and honesty make him the first trail Doctor contacted when they want to start a new trial.

Dr. Tap treated me for about a year for my osteosarcoma. He is truly one of the best, brightest, kindest and most caring doctors I have ever encountered. Honest with great people skills. We need more like him.

Dr. Tap is the best doctor I have ever dealt with. You could not ask for a better doctor. God bless you dr. Tap. My prayers are with you, your family and your patients.

Dr. Tap is a great human being and great doctor. Strongly recommend him when dealing with a sarcoma. Keep up the great work Dr. Tap we are very impressed by you.
