Patient Reviews
May 13, 2024
Thankfully, a friend who is also a medical professional recommended Dr. Tanksley to us. He has been vital at helping both my husband and I with injuries and we are grateful for the excellent care he provided. In addition to that, he has a great staff that are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend him to anyone needing care by an orthopaedic surgeon. There is no doubt that he is by far the best there is and would recommend him to any of our family or friends.
