Scripps Mercy Hospital (COE)

"The hospital was wonderful atmosphere, the surgeon was extremely knowledgeable, they need to know pain/meds better and they could lose a nurse in the Recovery room. These are the only two complaints in an otherwise wonderful experience, but unfortunately they were two important areas that suffering was unnecessary."

Laurence Tanaka

"Dr. Tanaka has treated me well. He is a "to the point" kind of Doctor, you feel confident with his expertise. I like his humor, well hidden, but there! His office staff seems professional. The thing I like the least is that he is always quick, wish he would spend more time with you, ask more questions, give more advice. If you ask, he will answer and take the time, but you need to initiate the conversation. Future patients can know they are getting a fine, competent surgeon. If it isn't just me...their experience will be mostly trouble free and done right the first time! Dr. Tanaka gave the seminar that I first attended about the surgery and he gives you black and white, no fluff. Overall, I am glad about my choice, wish I could have a winning bedside manner (because I am Miss Sociable), but the surgical competence suited me just fine!!!"
