If you want a doctor who tells you what to do instead of listening to ALL of your concerns, you've found your guy. In my opinion, his arrogance precedes him and is evident even in the first call to his office. As mentioned in other reviews, he seems to act like it is a blessing for you to have been able to see him.\r
I had concerns with my toddler, and of course I wanted to take her to the best. He was recommended to us so we gave him a few shots. He did hearing tests that supposedly concluded upon several visits that she was only hearing at 20% in one ear and her eardrum wasn't responding in her right ear. A complete shock to me because she speaks clearly and well above average for her age. After several visits doing to the same thing each time with the exact same results each time, he said we could put in tubes for reassurance or keep her on Flonase for the rest of her life after saying she has a really irritated throat he presumed was from allergies. (another shock to me b/c she didn't seem to at all, and this is my second daughter who I stay at home with. I would know)\r
He never even offered to do allergy testing so we could figure out what she was allergic to and resolve it without drugging her for the rest of her life.\r
I took her to the pediatric office associated with Children's Hospital within weeks of her last appt. with Dr. Tamez and they found no pressure of her eardrum, no sign of hearing loss, and didn't even know what he meant by 20%. They continued to explain that you wouldn't be able to guess a percentage of hearing loss from the tests performed and that she had absolutely no signs of allergies ( I hadn't used the medication b/c I was suspicious of his diagnosis).\r
If you value your own time and want a doctor patient relationship, not a lecture, then do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
