This review is about Dr. Christopher Bogaev as he is the doctor that performed brain surgery on my…read morewife. He was our second doctor to visit as the first doctor that saw her in the ER at Saint Luke's would not operate on my wife until the advil she had taken was out of her system. This turned out to be a blessing as that gave us time to research and find a doctor that specialized in brain tumors. After much research, we came across Dr. Bogaev and made an appointment to see him. The office folks were so nice to us and were able to work her in in a couple of weeks. In order to save time, they asked us to bring in MRI. Cat Scans, and notes from the other doctor for Dr. Bogaev to review. In our visit with Dr. Bogaev, he pulled up all the scans/x-rays and explained what was going on with her brain. He discussed all the options and made his recommendations to us. We liked how he was with us personally, his knowledge, his skills, and his sense of humor. We decided then that we wanted him to do the surgery. The day of the surgery, he came in and visited with us and let us ask all the questions we needed to. He brought in the other doctors and nurses that would be with him, and we got a real good feeling about all of them. He said the surgery would take a minimum of 2-3 hours, and that after it was over, he would meet with me to discuss everything. After the surgery, he came and found me in the waiting area. He was very happy with how everything went and made me feel a whole lot better. About the hospital: Stone Oak Methodist, as ranked by Healthgrades, is one of America's 100 Best Hospitals in critical care for multiple years. For us, everything about them was top notch! Our follow-up appointment is next week. At that point he will advise us of our next steps. I can say, up until today, we are very happy. The wife has no problems with speech, movement, expressing her thoughts, etc. Would I use him again? I hope I never have to use them, but I would without any hesitation if I needed that type of surgery.

Could not ask for a better doctor's visit. Dr. Arnold Vardiman is 100 percent realistic about…read moresurgery and is very conservative when it comes to surgery.(which I appreciate) Great consultation.

I am a 100% Disabled veteran, a Doctor of Healthcare Administration, and a patient experiencing…read moreprogressive neurological deterioration. My experience with Dr. Peter Tarbox has been, without question, one of the most disappointing experiences I have had with a healthcare provider. From my first appointment, I have repeatedly felt dismissed, belittled, and unheard. I have raised concerns about inaccurate information in my medical records, medications being prescribed despite my previously reporting unsuccessful treatment with them, and recurring administrative and referral problems. Despite repeated assurances from his staff that these issues had been addressed, they continued to resurface. What troubles me most, however, is how Dr. Tarbox has spoken to me. During our interactions, he has made statements such as, "Why do you think you're disabled?" and compared my circumstances to patients he believed were worse off than I was. These comments were not helpful, compassionate, or clinically constructive. Disability is not a competition, and another patient's suffering does not invalidate mine. When I have asked about treatment alternatives or ways to manage my deteriorating neurological health, I have repeatedly left feeling that my concerns were dismissed rather than meaningfully explored. I have been given the impression that because certain neurological damage cannot necessarily be reversed, there is little point in discussing what can still be done to improve my quality of life. There is an enormous difference between explaining that a condition may be irreversible and telling a patient, through words or actions, that there is nothing worth doing for them. I have spent decades studying leadership, organizational accountability, and healthcare systems. I understand that medicine has limitations, that diagnoses can be complicated, and that physicians cannot promise outcomes. I do not expect miracles. I expect professional communication, accurate documentation, thoughtful consideration of treatment options, and a willingness to listen. My neurological symptoms have continued to progress, and recent diagnostic testing has provided objective evidence of neurological abnormalities. Rather than feeling supported through an increasingly frightening medical situation, I have consistently felt that I must defend the legitimacy of my own symptoms. I am now seeking neurological care elsewhere. I cannot speak for his other patients. I can only speak to my experience, and I would not recommend him to someone navigating a complicated, progressive neurological condition who needs collaborative, patient-centered care. Patients deserve more than being told what cannot be done. They deserve a physician willing to explore what still can be done.
