Dr. Tanner is simply amazing. He was prepared, had read my chart, was very specific with his questions, and explained all of my treatment options very thoroughly. He made sure I understood every step, and several times asked if I had any other questions. Vanderbilt should clone him, and train him in every other specialty!

Dr. Bono Tanner is exceptional. As a 67-year-old, I've seen plenty of doctors and he is the best I've ever known. He's personable, takes the time to explain things to you and genuinely cares about you and your life. I can't recommend him highly enough
