I sincerely had an excellent visit with Dr Tanaka accept 1 thing he would not take me on as his patient. I understand why because of the previous surgeon that I had seen . So far he has been the best connection I have had . He is such a great doctor and any person that gets him as a doctor is very lucky . I wish I could have gotten him in the beginning. My loss! He gets 100 starts plus!
