Reviews
"Dr Tapia-Rico has been a perfect fit for us. Whilst treating Steve, he has been extremely generous with his time and knowledge. His empathy, care and dedication is so genuine and he goes above and beyond expectations. When there has been information to share, he has always made sure that we understand what he is telling us and has allowed as much time as needed for us to as questions if needed. He has taken the time to get to know both Steve anad myself really well which has made this experience much more personal and helped us with remaining realistic but still positive about potential outcomes and changes. Dr Tapia-Rico has contacted us with afterhours phone calls when warranted and even spent his downtime over a long weekend researching clinical trial options once traditional treatment was no longer effective. He has always kept in mind the importance for quality of life that Steve wants when discussing or offering treatment options and has explained the benefits and potential side effects every step of the way. Being one step ahead with what to expect and plan for next has been a huge positive as when things change or there has been a new symptom, we more often than not have been able to say "This is nothing to panic about. Dr Tapia said this might happen". We have contacted him and let him know about any changes and he has been very thorough in following up and discussing the change with us. Ordering CT's or tests as needed and explaining the outcome. All in all, we have had nothing but a positive experience with Dr Tapia-Rico and would highly recommend him."
"Where does one start there are not enough kind words to describe this beautiful caring doctor. My daughter and I twelve months ago were faced with the battle of her life and I truely thought if I had 12 twelve months with her would be a bonus. Here we are twelve months done the track and all is well. Through this journey Dr Tapia was by our side with his caring nature and total professionalism all the way. He was there with facts to tell us but compassion all the way. To anyone out there going through this journey under the care of our beautiful Dr Tapia you are in the best hands."
"My 95 yr. old mother was referred to the Oncology Clinic at the RAH and our first contact was when Dr. Gonzalo Tapia rang me personally to introduce himself and offer an initial appointment for my mother and I. As a result my mother commenced immunotherapy and we visited the Oncology Clinic at the RAH every 3 weeks for the next 18 months for consultation with Dr Tapia followed by treatment. I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Tapia - he was always on time for appointments, he is extremely professional but also very charming, a kind and supportive person, very understanding and ensured we understood the medical terminology and program that was designed for my mother. He was compassionate but also had a sense of humour which is so important when going through such difficult times. He always greeted us warmly and although my mother suffered from early short term dementia and hard of hearing she enjoyed and looked forward to her regular appointments with him - he made her feel very special. Even between treatments he cared enough to ring and enquire how she was. My mother is now 97 yrs. old is doing very well and the immunotherapy treatment has been very successful - and I am sure she wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the excellent professional care and treatment she received from Dr Tapia and the RAH - BIG THANK YOU CHRIS WHITESIDE OAM"
"Dr Gonzalo Tapia is an exceptional doctor. Extremely knowledgeable and his ability to listen, make you understand the diagnosis and treatment and help you feel at ease is wonderful. I have been so impressed with how he's cared for my mother these past few years. I would fully recommend him to anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer!"
