Tidik Stephen J MD Facs

I had severe symptoms that lead me to be referred to another surgeon in the same practice. That surgeon dismissed my case and had his medical assistant call me to say that I did not need to be seen. I asked that my records be sent to Dr. Tidik instead. They got me in within a couple of days. He was the only one who truly listened to me, and scheduled me for gallbladder removal after a HIDA scan showed it needed to come out. On the day of surgery, he found on first incision that I had cancer in my abdomen and pelvis. He got a pathologist and an oncologist involved while I was still asleep, and the wheels began to turn quickly. Within a week, I was in Northern California for a surgery for Ovarian Cancer. Dr. Tidik has continued to take care of me for the last year and a half. He is my «local» surgeon who makes it possible for me to avoid driving to Redwood City for checks. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR DR. TIDIK, I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE TODAY. HE SAVED MY LIFE! He is full of dignity and grace, and he treats me so wonderfully. I would not see any other surgeon in SLO county.

What a great kind Doctor. Before coming into see me he read all my paperwork. He discussed all issues I mentioned in the paperwork and let me talk and explain history and why i was there. He took great notes. I’ve gone to other drs who come in ask couple questions exam and diagnose and out in 10 minutes.
Not Dr Tidik. He took his time and made me feel important. He should teach others how the be great doctors.
Very compassionate. Very kind. Very considerate.
