Dr. Tantchou is a great doctor. She has excellent bedside manner and is very thorough in explaining your medical care and medical procedures. Would 100% recommend.
Dr. Ivy is my Gyn Onc Surgeon for Uterine Cancer. As with every busy, highly-qualified professional I've ever seen, his time is very precious - so that can make my appointment time with him seem rushed. Knowing that specialists have tight schedules, I always have my questions ready for him; written on paper, or on my phone, so I can "rapid fire" ask him. He's not my family doctor - he's my doctor that specializes in lady-parts cancer. So, I don't expect him to take care of anything else. Having this in mind, I think he's a brilliant, conscientious, caring, up-to-date-with-latest-technologies doctor. As with many humans that excel at their craft, he seems really, really good at his specialty, but not excellent in bedside manner. Don't get me wrong, he communicates just fine, and answers every question I have. But, he's not a big, gregarious, extroverted type that caters to a patient's every emotional need (like some patients seem to need). And, I don't need him to be. I just need him to be an excellent surgeon - and that, he IS.! Every part of my surgery went as he explained it would. He's gone to a lot of trouble to become highly trained in removing lady bits with cancer, in such a way, to prevent/minimize potential spread of that cancer. The scars left from my robotic laparoscopic operation, are teeny tiny. One is almost completely gone, after 15 months. The post-op complications I had were not caused by, nor were they the responsibility of Dr. Ivy. We no longer live in a Healthcare System where the doctor controls the entire process. So, I will post my anger and frustration, concerning the mistakes made outside of Dr Ivy's purview, where they belong. I see several reviews on Dr Ivy that blame him for things that were most likely the fault of the hospital or healthcare workers that dropped the ball. I thank my lucky stars Dr. Joseph Ivy was my Gynecological Oncologist!
