Patient Reviews
May 23, 2023
Best health care I ever had and not a day goes by that I do not thank God in heaven for the surgery and other work this man and his team did on my spine. They were always kind, genuine, and professional. Dr. Tantuwaya is highly skilled and has a lifetime of experience yet is so down to earth that he can efficiently work through patients' shock/crisis/symptoms. He did so respectfully and was able to quantify the exact cause, clearly identify the treatment options, and then administer a thoughtful and effective treatment plan. He is fantastic with details and saved me great stress in the way they document everything too. When presenting to the insurance company, it was a relief to me that I had never found a single technical discrepancy from our visits and procedures over the entire two plus years; Every QC on paperwork from visits and procedures was perfect and they were courteous and available to help me procure the reports in a timely manner. I highly reccomend them!
