On past reviews about primary care doctors on the TOTV site you will find some who do not like Dr. Angel Tafur because of his abrupt style.

After a somewhat rocky start I have had an excellent relationship with him. I have found him to be the most thorough primary care doctor who I have had in decades. When I occasionally fail to meet a goal that we have agreed upon he can be a little snippy, but it is for my good.

When I needed clearance for some really serious surgery, he encouraged me to do it to improve the quality of my life. He also explained the procedures that would be performed in greater detail than the surgeon who actually did the operation.

In addition to his private practice, Dr. Tafur oversees the Freedom Pointe rehab facility. He practices at The Villages Regional Hospital and the hospitals affiliated with the Leesburg Regional Medical Center.

I was referred to Dr. Tafur by my cardiologist.

Although I am presently living full time in Tampa now, I still return to TV for appointments with Dr. Tafur.
