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.

Do not recommend
I made a big mistake by going to Dr. Tenner. He was constantly interrupting me and refusing to listen to my concerns. When he saw that endoscopy was done by another doctor, totally lost interest. Instead of offering any real help, it felt like he was in a hurry to get rid of me. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone seeking proper care.

The doctor is missing
I was told to arrive 15 minutes earlier for a colonoscopy, and then waited over one hour before taken in to wait more. At the end I waited more than one hour sitting in a small office so the doctor could give me a report. Despite asking, no one could tell me where he was.

Awful experience.
PLEASE always read reviews before you make an appointment !!! Awful experience. I feel sad after this visit. The whole office was rude. One office girl told me: "if you do not like something - go away!" doctor tenner asked me a few questions and said that he cannot help me, and I need to find another doctor and told me that I could buy over the counter athlete feet cream !!!??? what???..what for?... very unprofessional. The result - no money, no service, NO problem solved.

If you have no self respect and too much time on your hands, have fun waiting at least 2 hours at Dr Tenner’s over heated, packed office with nasty receptionists and no cell reception. My father was scheduled for an endoscopy. He came in 10 min early with paper work ready. After 18 hour prep and 2 hour wait at the doctors, he left the office agitated with high blood pressure and no procedure was done. It is one thing to be busy, but to triple book appointments and to make sick people who fasted wait hours for procedure is just disrespectful.

Terrible experience. My father was scheduled for colonoscopy at 12 pm. At 1:30 pm he called me that he was not even called. When I called the office I been told that doctor has lots of patients. The person who answered phone was not helpful, when I asked when he will be called she said that its 2 more patient before him. Now is 4 pm and he is not yet finished. I would never recommend this office.

I had my colonoscopy with Dr. Tanner on June 16, 2017. Everything went well as usual, courteous stuff, clean, nice hospital equipment. However, I had an impression that I am part of the patient conveyer where every minute counts and where numbers are more important than the comfort of the patient. Thus, the anesthesiologist forced the needle into my vein in order to save a minute of the Doctor's time (he was already in the office). I was screaming of pain, but Dr.Tenner did not stop this painful
