| 5.0 | Jan 22, 2024 | My wife (patient) and I visited Dr. Tanner on a self-referral and, admittedly, may not have arrived at the exact &/or correct specific specialty - but didn't miss it by much. That said, Dr. Tanner treated my wife's problem with the utmost and appropriate sense of urgency. The problem had surfaced while traveling outside of the U.S and he went above & beyond to understand the lab, Imaging and various other reports we hand-carried to our appointment. Dr. Tanner became our active advocate to ensure the proper labs, Imaging and subsequent care was scheduled "stat" and without delay. My final comment is to indicate to anyone reviewing this survey, is to make my observation of Dr. Tanner's professionalism known. To wit: Dr.Tanner's office professional competent demeanor and approachable personality was extremely refreshing and appreciated. It became abundantly clear he is a good and authentic scientist and a great front-line medical clinician.My wife (patient) and self, consider meeting Doctor Steven Tanner a blessing and privilege. | |
