Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful Doctor
Simply the best doctor that I have ever had. Extremely knowledgeable and more importantly compassionate.

Dr. Tancer truly cares about his patients. He is personable as he takes the time to talk to his patients. I have been with Dr. Tancer since 2005 when I had some difficult medical issues which he saw me through and still oversees today. HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE.

I would not recommend him because you will definitely have a very bad experience. The doctor is very rude and acts unprofessional. The office is old and dirty. Would stay away from this place.

I would give 0 stars if I could. He's rude, dismissive, doesn't care at all for his patient's safety and barely answers calls, requests for refills or requests for medical records. He's poorly educated regarding matters of urgency as well. HIGHLY DO NOT recommend. Seek care elsewhere!

He is the most caring doctor I' be ever met. He really cares for your health and always goes an extra mile to make sure you are ok. Dr. Tencer even calls the patient back to make sure the patient is ok, after an emergency call. I would recommend Dr. Tencer.

Dr. Tancer is the kindest, most caring doctor that I have ever been to. He takes his time explaining his diagnosis. Most importantly he actually listens to and addresses your concerns. He is very patient and truly cares about his patients- I have never felt rushed because he spends an appropriate amount of time with his patients. I definitely would recommend Dr. Tancer.

Not a good experience he doesn't care if any one has a medical urgency all he cares about his own appointment schedule. He is not there when you need him.
