Reviews
"Dr Tanner was dismissive and abrupt in our very brief encounter. I did not feel he took my or my oncologists concerns seriously."
"Took out my gallbladder and did an amazing job. All the staff is great and he is very knowledgeable and is caring and concerned for what is best for his patients. I highly recommend him and his office. I have been to him for two separate occasions."
"You want a great surgeon, a wonderful Dr and human, this is the one. No surgeon would take me on and I live in one of the best cities for surgeons. I was considered a critical emergency, massive hernia that was strangulated. More issues as well, but the point I am trying to make is I had to be taken 2 hours by ambulance to Chattanooga for Dr. Tanner to save my intestines and my life. He did, he is awesome and I could go on and on. I would gladly drive the drive again if need be for me or any member of my family. Thank you Dr. Tanner, your nurse and your staff, plus the hospital for taking care of me. Your compassion, kindness and wonderful care will never be forgotten. BTW, 4 months after, his staff still check on me, so I always recommend Dr. Tanner and will continue to do so."
"Dr. Tanner was great. He was very thorough, explained test results and the plan prior to surgery as well as post surgery findings and plan of care afterwards. I was very pleased with his care, kindness and attentiveness. I would definitely recommend Dr. Tanner."
"Dr. Tanner saved my life. I am and forever will be grateful. My experience with him showed him to be knowledgeable, skillful, personal, and caring. I am so thankful he was there during my time of illness."
