I am pleased with the clear instructions (verbal and written) that Dr. Tanner has given me about monitoring my blood pressure at home while my medicine dosage is being gradually reduced. He has scheduled follow-up appointments to watch this carefully.

AWESOME JOB

08/11/2023

The fact that the doctor actually looks into things that others don't. If it wasn't for this doctor, I would have waste of time not knowing what was really wrong with me. He took the time energy and intelligence to find out what was wrong and he was right. I trust them with my life and I do not say that loosely.

This is the first time I have ever seen Dr Tanner. He was respectful and polite. He listened and ruled out all but possible muscular issue. Given my history of [] issues with my spine, I made a decision to see my orthopedist after several days of following Dr. Tanner’s recommendation. They did an X-ray which confirmed my [] is still correctly placed. They did a trigger point injection in hopes that will calm down the inflammation and on-going pain. I think Dr Tanner did all that he could at the moment.

06/22/2023

The check-in process was efficient and courteous. Dr. Tanner's medical assistant was excellent: walking me through the preparation process and answering questions thoroughly.
