First visit with dr Tanner . He Came in seemingly ok then kinda changed needing a better voice inflection .l and facial expression. It was a bit complicated conversations and I left agreeing on his plan and he was right . I left more stressed than I came in. Maybe he had a bad day and I left uncomfortable . He’’s probably a nice doctor but don’t think I will return to him.

Dr. Tanner is detailed oriented and will get to the root cause of the issue. He is not dismissive of symptoms. He ordered the requisite test to provide a response based on data. He is a good listener and makes sure you understand the why behind the what when establishing a treatment plan. If you are looking for a detailed analytical physician Dr. Tanner checks the boxes. His support team is professional and follows-up on all request. They answer questions and if there will be a delay in the response they will let you know. The surgical team are focused, explain the processea and answer any questions. Overall, you are truly in great hands with each encounter. This was my experience!
