Dr. Tapper is an excellent physician. He is kind, patient, explains things well, is very skilled in his profession, and knows the latest techniques. He makes you feels very comfortable as a patient.

After ending up in ER with a large (unpassable) kidney stone and bad infection, Dr Tapper inserted a stent and treated the infection. After a couple weeks (to clear up infection) he removed the stone and replaced the stent. I have had no pain, after the initial procedure, his bedside manner was excellent, and he explained everything throughly. His office staff leave a lot to be desired, but he is an amazing doctor that I am very grateful for. Highly recommend

I really liked Dr. Tappers bedside manner. He seemed genuinely concerned for my health and that of my solitary kidney. I was compliant in getting all of the necessary things done. I was extremely nervous about having a stent placed & he made me feel more at ease assuring me he would be there to do the surgery. I ended up being in the OR for near 2 hours on this --minor-- procedure which is fine because they said they were pretty sure they obliterated all my stones. Dr. Tapper was NOT there it was some female named Dr. Fisher? Thats all I know. Never heard from her or met her. Im already NOT a fan of Beaumont Hospital. The ONLY reason I went there was for Dr. Tapper. He did apologize afterwards which was nice but a few days later when I tried to see if I could have a different pain medicine than Tramedol *because I have small children at home & I cant be ZONED OUT on meds while Im taking care of my kids* I was shocked when I recieved a nasty msg by his receptionist saying --if Im in that much pain, I should go to the ER. --Dr Tapper said hes not prescribing anything.-- Its hard to explain how dumbfounded I was or how belittling that felt to hear that. Benadryl even knocks me on my butt and here this office is treating me like a drug addict! I was DISGUSTED to say the LEAST. I didnt want some strong narcotic! I wanted something LESS strong so I would not be in pain while passing more stones AND be able to be ALERT while taking care of my children! (I was advised not to take motrin & tylenol just wasnt cutting it for when I passed stones.) It was painful but not as much as my treatment.. Ive NEVER in my life been made to feel like that. I found out Dr. Tapper was leaving that practice the following week. So I just had to shake my head at that. Lesson learned, just because they have a GOOD bedside manner, does NOT mean they are a GOOD doctor. ***I still have not heard from anyone and my stent has been in place for 3weeks. My husband worked a case with a great urologist and Im happy to say I switched over to his care.
