Care Philosophy
To meet the patient where they are. Patients confronting prostate cancer are unaware that cancer itself is only half the problem, the other half is the medical system, which one is often unknowingly forced to confront. Dr. Tamburri does not make decisions based upon the medical insurance requirements for insurance billing and government standards for patient care, this is a reason why he does not take insurance so he is not beholden to the medical establishment system.
Tangential to his care philosophy is Dr. Tamburri’s upbringing, raised by his Grandparents who survived World War II and The Great Depression. Understanding medical care through the (de)evolving medical system through his Grandparent’s eyes helped shape Dr. Tamburri’s focus in a specialty that helps with his understanding of the concerns and frustrations of the older population as they navigate the medical system.
