We’ve been with Dr. Tanaka for over 16 years and she’s a fantastic pediatrician- going above and beyond to look at the whole child- both the physical and mental state. Our visits our efficient when they need to be but there is ever an issue or need she spends the time needed to understand and help provide support and referrals for what your child may need.
