Patient Reviews
May 29, 2025
Dr. Tanaka has now treated me for two conditions. One my hand which required surgery and now my shoulder with a non-surgical treatment. Dr. Tanaka has always been friendly and professional, and cared about me as a person. He always takes the time to discuss the problem and different options to treat it. He never hurries the appointment. I've already recommended several friends to him, and I highly recommend to anybody to see Dr. Tanaka.
