Tamerla Dawn Chavis

Dr. Chavis was above all else very professional and responsive to my needs. I had surgery about 6 years ago and have only had problems with my back when I abuse myself by working incorrectly. She does have a very rough bedside manner, but makes up for it by providing excellent recommendations and her exceptional surgery skills. I would highly recommend her to others, just as I was recommended to her.

Saved my husbands life 3 years ago, after he fell 23 ft and broke his neck. C1 and C2 ( hangman’s break ) almost killed him and she is AMAZING! He was in a halo for 4 months. She came to the hospital no matter the time and she was willing to work. She is straight forward and I love it about her.

2003 surgery. She was excellent.

Dr Chavis removed a large olfactory meningioma from my brain on September 9, 2001. I got 1 follow up visit at which time I found out I had a plate, straps and screws. Possibly even a shunt. Unfortunately, almost 20 years later, I am now experiencing seizures and other problems that could be related to this surgery. I have been trying to find out if I do have a shunt for 4 years and Dr Chavis will not return my calls or the calls from my pcp or my neurologist. I went to her office and nobody is there. My next step is an attorney that is ready to sue. Dr Chavis is a very unprofessional doctor. I'm getting an lawyer. Dr Chavis removed a large olfactory meningioma from my brain on September 9, 2001.

DR. CHAVIS DID MY CERVICAL DISC FUSION AND I AM VERY PLEASE WITH THE CARE I RECEIVED FROM HER AND HER STAFF. I WOULD RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE NEEDING THIS TYPE OF SURGERY.

I have no complaints with Dr. Chavis, she performed surgery on my hand a couple of years ago.. my surgery and recovery were fine..She is a fine surgeon.I will put it this way,..don't let a few bad reviews stop you from seeking help from her,.It's no way to please everyone all the time, I will and would recommend her again.

Dr. T. Chavis Md. A Thanks, to Dr. T. Chavis who is of God's Choice That's indeed Long over due. She's one of God's Best Physicians. When I fell, over 13feet from the air breaking my back from the T-12 to the L-1 and my left ankle between the Fibula / Tibia Dr. T. Chavis was one of the several chosen physicians who came together agreeing on how they would do my surgery to keep me from being permanently, paralyzed. She's the physician you want. I was paralyzed after much faith, prayers and never forgetting God Is! Thank You, Dr. T. Chavis for all you do! God Bless! Dr. T. Chavis Md. A Thanks, to Dr. T. Chavis who is of God's … More

Her bed side manners are horrible. She recently treated my dad and while he was dying was complaining about his insurance to her staff. We transferred him to Houston but it was to late. Be very aware.

Most horrible experience in our lives. Unneeded surgery , misdiagnosed and husband ended up with massive stroke. Day surgery turned into month long hospital stay. All the time he had Parkinson disease which he had all along. Sad sad!

Great patient care. Asks questions and answers questions. Explained the what why and how of my condition in a way that someone without a medical explanation could understand. Highly recomemd.

BEWARE!!!!!!Dr.Chavis has a problem, she has no bed side manners, she is blunt and very rude, I did not look at the reviews before I went to my appt, after leaving her office mad at myself for going to her, I looked at the reviews all the negatives reviews were on point, These people did not make up these reviews they are so true,I feel sorry for her, from what I read she is very smart, but she has a problem, I see why her office is dark and no customers, this was a bad choice on my side,

I was in extreme pain when I called for an appointment and Dr Chavis got me right in. Did an MRI , scheduled surgery and took good care of me

Bad mistake!Dr. entered exam. room, sat down & asked,"What can I do for you?".I was there to see what she knew she could for me; not, what I thought she could do for me. Dr. Chavis did not want to take my case because it was too difficult.She told me she had a small office with not much "noise" in it. She said she did not have much testing equipment.Dr. couldn't give me a name of another dr. to see;just "another neurosurgeon". Left office frustrated!

Went in for my 1st visit to get evaluated for an issue with my neck. She asked questions and immediately started getting me set up for surgery. A Dr. That actually cares about their patients is not easy to find these days. I WOULD highly recomed Dr chavis to anyone looking for a neurosurgeon.

Not good at all...No help at all...very blunt and asked me what was I here for?! While she had my doctors report in her hand! She is a Nureo Surgeon!! I'm already worried..her bed side manner was no help n ran me out of there quick..So quick I got myCo-pau back! She was of No help to me at all!!

Very unprofessional. The old woman working the front desk was very rude, and was talking about patients behind their back. Dr.Chavis is way too blunt, and makes you feel like you are just wasting her time. There's a difference between no nonsense and no respect.

I went to Dr. Chavis in 2015 for back pain. She looked at my MRI and explained what the test indicated. She gave me several options - medication being only one, the others were injection, physical therapy and surgery. I opted for the physical therapy and was able to wait a little over a year before now having to have surgery. Dr. Chavis and her staff are pleasant, yet professional. She asked questions for her clarification and allowed me to ask questions. I definitely would recommend her.

Dr. Tamerla Chavis preformed cervical neck surgery on me,, Oct. 5, 2015. I am 53 years old and was worried about the surgery. Well the surgery went fine. Dr. Chavis fixed the problem, checked on my recovery thru the night and visited me the next day and again that evening to release me. She is very personal with her patients and very professional with her knowledge. I would highly recommend her for your issues. At least consult with her before you change your mind due to some of these comments.

If you're overweight, don't go to her, it doesn't matter what your MRI shows, genetics is the reason we're overweight, she assumes you don't exercise and your diet is the reason you are having problems and you don't need surgery. Just lose 30 lbs, take glucosamine supplements and vitamins. No other recommendations. No physical therapy, no back brace support, even though I have had problems with my neck and back for 30 years, diet,exercise and supplements will relieve some of my symptoms .

My husband just had surgery on the 4/13/15. Dr. Chavis took him as an emergency surgery and did a wonderful job. I couldn't be any happier with the service she gave us. She came every day to check on him in the hospital and when the nurses in the hospital didn't follow her orders, she moved him to a unit that would. I thank her so much for all she has done for us. I will make sure she is his back doctor from this day forward. My husband just had surgery on the 4/13/15. Dr. Chavis took him as an emergency surgery and did a wonderful job.

Dr. Chavis performed my back surgery in 2003. I knew from the first consult with her, I wanted her to do my surgery. She was very professional and had a great bedside manner. She also took her time with office visits. I'll definitely go back for an opinion from her if I ever have a need.

My husband was referred to her in March of 2012. Her receptionist is very friendly, however she is not. Dr. Chavis walked into the room and from the begging was very rude. She asked my husband to describe his condition, after letting him discuss for about 5 minutes she rudely interrupted and then said "I forgot my paper" walked out and then asked him to start over when she came back. At the end of the exam, we asked her opinion for further treatment or what her diagnosis was. She said that she could not help us, that he needed to find another job and she was not a workforce center. I would not EVER recommend anyone to her. EVER! Update - They charged me up front for the visit - THEN DID NOT FILE ON MY INSURANCE and sent me a bill 3 months later asking for payment - when I contacted them, explained they hadn't filed, they finally did. By then my deductible was met, so I over paid them - when calling for reimbursement - they are very rude and unhelpful, saying that we need to keep calling back to check on status! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!!! There are better options for neurosurgeons in Beaumont and Houston - Stay away! Update - still waiting on reimbursements. Office staff is no help. Have contacted the BBB and seeing what insurance can do to help. Her customer service is horrible. No bedside manner and her way of conducting business is horrible. Please stay away from her, you can find a better doctor anywhere but here, trust me. My husband was referred to her in March of 2012. Her receptionist is very friendly, however she is not.
