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.

Dr Tanaka is a God send! She is highly skilled and very personable. Dr Tanaka took excellent care of my daughter Kaitlyn through all of her surgeries. Always so understanding and would explain so much. Kaitlyn loved her and her staff at MU, we become very close with them all. Dr Tanaka met us in the lobby of hospital to adjust her shunt the morning of prom, even brought her pastries. For graduation they sent her flowers and when they found out she was going to have chemo they fixed her a chemo gift. I could go on and on how terrific she is and will never be able to Thank Dr Tanaka enough!

Dr. Tanaka performed one of the surgeries on our son, after his sinus infection developed into an abscess. We are incredibly grateful for what Dr. Tanaka did to help him. She is not only a highly skilled surgeon, she’s also incredibly calm and reassuring. You are in good hands with Dr. Tanaka!

Dr Tanaka is amazing. She takes time to explain everything. She is so knowledgeable and personable. I felt very confident in her abilities. I was in good hands and that's a great feeling if you're going to have brain surgery.
