Dr. Tanner performed a histeroscopy on May 8th. My pathology report came back while he was on vacation. However, rather than make me wait at least a week until his return to the office he call to discuss next steps. Which as it turned out, included a recommendation for a total hysterectomy which we immediately for June 9th. I don't think anyone could ask Dr. Tanner for more.

Dr Edward Tanner is the best doctor ever! During my first stages of my diagnosis he was so nice and understanding and reassured me that I was going to be ok. A year and six months later he kept to his word. I'm so blessed and grateful to have such an amazing doctor who took such great care of me. Any questions or concerns he took time to answer and it was never a brush off. Dr Tanner I thank and appreciate you so much and I'm so grateful for your understanding and care. I wouldn't trade it the world!

I only saw him this one time. It was the best visit I ever had with a provider. He had read the records of my past 10 years, was very respectful and clear and considerate and I didn't feel rushed at all. He released me from his care and explained why I didn't need to return but also made me feel comfortable to return if I chose. I double checked his reasons and found confirmation for his advice.

Originally I saw [staff] for 3 month follow-ups to my surgery 2 years ago; [staff] is on leave now. This was the first time I met with Dr. Tanner with whom I was impressed for his clarity, manner and information. He has arranged for a scan in January - He is my preference for continuing follow-ups. I Will see him again in June 2026.
