I would highly recommend Dr. Tanner for anyone needing an ankle specialist. From the first time I met him for my consultation, I knew I chose the right surgeon. He listened to my concerns and he did not try to discourage me but listened to me and my husband about the pain I was dealing with daily. I could feel the plate and the screws and if I bumped it, it would almost bring me to my knees. His patient care coordinator Rachael is the nicest and she has such an amazing sense of humor! My husband Tim and I both said she was so much fun to work with. Thank you Rachael for the time that you spent with us! The nurses that helped me before and after the surgery at the Blaine Orthopedic Surgery Center were Erica and Melissa. Both of them were over the top helpful in making me less stressed. Anytime that I go under anesthesia I get anxious, but Erica was so, so sweet.  Melissa after my surgery was unbelievably friendly and helpful.  Bravo to Dr. Tanner for how fast and how well the surgery went.  I would highly recommend him to anyone needing his expertise.  Another thing about TCO is that whenever I have had to go there,  every single person that I have dealt with were over the top friendly.  Thank you to all that spent time with me at TCO -  I'll never forget any of you!
