Great doctor.

You cannot do better.

Dr Tanaka is patient, well-informed & explains things is laymen’s terms. He makes you feel part of his team.

Long wait to be seen, its usually about 50-60 minutes after the scheduled appointment time when the doctor finally gets to me. All for a 5 minute consultation that got me nowhere.

Dr. Tanaka is the epitome of how a doctor should be. He is professional, kind and caring and takes the time to truly listen to me and understand my concerns. He explains all possible treatment options thoroughly and ensures that I am involved and understand my care plan. The only downfall is the wait times to see the MD are sometimes very long due to the fact that he is a phenomenal doctor and sees as many patients as he possibly can. He is popular, thus you will be waiting. He is worth the wait to me every time. I can't say enough about the wonderful care I have received from Dr. Tanaka and his team . Thank you

Very pleased with the outcome of both my carpal tunnel surgeries.

Took time to examine me and discuss what may be contributing to my symptoms. Great bedside manner!

I like the doctor. But my information for surgery was not submitted for approval like Doc. Tanaka told me at my appointment. I was told I would be notified as to my surgery date (he did say April surgery) by the end of the week of my appointment. When will my information be sent and approved? No one in the office can give me any pertinent information.

Attentive, knowledgeable, and through

Excellent and patient doctor!

Professional and friendly! He explained everything clearly to me. Would highly recommend Dr. Tanaka!

Thorough and explains things very well!

I believe Dr. Tanaka is an excellent surgeon. But his office and the people who coordinate surgery for him are outright nasty when I was confused about things. What would make patients less confused is giving instructions on a piece of paper that can be taken home, like most other doctors do. I get home and can’t remember everything I am supposed to do or not do. This must be changed.

Dr Tanaka is wonderful. He's attentive and knowledgeable. Always friendly and efficient.

Dr. Tanaka always spends a great deal of time examining, encouraging, and explaining my condition and my ongoing treatment. He listens to and answers my questions thoroughly, and is never rushed.

I was recommended by Dr Bawa. This was my second attempt to see Dr. Tanaka and I take responsibility for the first one. I had a 10:10 AM appointment today and waited one hour before I was called and the waited another half hour and was advised that it might be another 10-15 minutes or longer until I could see the Dr. I ended my appointment at that moment due to another obligation and not only do I still have a injury but I basically wasted a whole morning because his office was overbooked.

Very knowledgeable, informative, and friendly

Dr. Tanaka is highly professional and caring. He walked me through my ultrasound and was reassuring while administrating a treatment on my hand. He always treats me with respect and never dismisses my concerns.

One of the finest medical professionals I have ever worked with... articulate personable and from what I’ve been told by other members of the medical community, the best hand doctor around

Has great surgical skills and wonderful, reassuring people skills. His will be the first name I mention if I am asked to recommend a skilled Hand and joint surgeon.

Everyone is well meaning and kind at the office. I was impressed by Dr Tanaka. I seems to me that there is a dedication to organization in the office, but no real followup or carry through. Just one item is the questionaires I was asked to fill out when I went in for my first visit; it was redundant and not clear with some of the questions and/or answers. thank you for the opportunity to comment.

Dr. Tanaka is friendly, professional and most importantly, skilled.
