No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Dr. Tate specializes in caring for children and adults with serious medical conditions. He has advanced training in palliative medicine, a field committed to providing excellent symptom management and facilitating clear and thoughtful communication among patients, families, and medical teams. Dr. Tate’s favorite thing about palliative medicine is that he often gets to sit down with patients and their families and listen to their stories. He deeply values the relationships that he is able to build through his work.

From a scholarly perspective, his research lies at the intersection of philosophy, religion, literature and medical practice. As a practicing palliative care physician, Dr. Tate is interested in identifying and analyzing the conceptual foundations of palliative care with a special focus of suffering, flourishing and love, as well as language and metaphor use in the medical encounter. In addition, he is interested in the moral formation of clinicians and in how medical education can better cultivate compassionate and humanistic medical care.
