Dr. Tanney is a very nice man. Agreed with other reviewers that he seems to have more of a wait-and-see approach to treatment. Visits are typically quite short and uneventful.
All people should be their own best advocate and be responsible for their health, but we all must rely on our doctors to help us manage our health and keep us informed to make the best decisions for our health.

He never seems rushed, but still seems to spend very little time with the patient. He appears to be cold and uncaring to the medical issues of his patient.

After 3 months, I was finally able to reach Christina Harrington (who every other time failed to call me back), the supervisor in charge of these decisions. She lied to me in a voice mail she left me and told me she and Dr. ... read more
My family has used this office for 20 years. Dr. Tanney is very helpful. He does tend to treat conditions with a "tincture of time", meaning that he doesn't over prescribe. Sometimes he feels that the best treatment, at least for minor conditions, is monitoring. My daughter dislikes this, but my wife and I have come to appreciate it. We did, however, originally think that maybe it was because we are in an HMO. We're fine with him now, based on experience. As we have aged, we have found that his standards change. As tests and... read more
