Staff were a pleasure throughout the whole process! I was greeted in with a pleasant welcome and not rushed, then nurse taking my vitals and history was great to work with because he took to time to explain the steps and what was going to happen next, unfortunately I can’t recall his name. Great first-time experience.

Dr. Tanner listened carefully and took my comments and home blood pressure records into account in adjusting my blood pressure medications at my visit prior to the latest one.

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.

The quickness of being seen. I went back in 1-2 minutes of arrival. Dr. Tanner is so compassionate. He spent a long time listening to me. Made appropriate referrals.

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. Likewise, Dr. Tanner patintly answered my questions and concerns in layman's language and provided advice that was easy to understand.
