Tanja is incredibly gentle and kind. She is extremely thorough, sending me for a variety of tests just to cover all of the bases, and even sending me for a test for something I hadn't been concerned about saying it would just her "feel better". She cares so much and is an excellent listener. She takes her time, never making me feel rushed and answers all of my questions. I feel very lucky to have her as my doctor.

Very amazing for helping with diagnosing and refering me for mental health. She listens nonjudgmental and really cares for her patients. My friends felt they were not getting the best medical care from their doctors and went to her instead and felt heard, reassured, and got the medical help needed. She is knowledgeable on ADHD and always lets me phone the office for any questions or concerns on medications. I have never been mentally better then when under her care.

Always caring and thorough. I have had chronic pain for four years and she’s never given up or dismissed my me. She gives options and leaves the decisions up to me. She always asks about my family and follows up on things I saw her about years previously. Overall a great and compassionate doctor!

I have been with Dr Tanja for many years and the care I receive is so inconsistent and dismissive that I go to clinics instead of her. She threw her hands up in the air when she didn't know how to help me with chronic pain - I ended up in the hospital because I was so suicidal from the pain. I was correctly diagnosed ten years later, by a doctor I travelled to see. A few years later, a lump I had that we didn't know if it was cancerous or not kept growing and she called me in a year later and said that it was growing so we should get rid of it - it had been growing for a YEAR and she knew the whole time and didn't do anything. She tried to make me make two separate appointments for two different referrals that took her five minutes to do. Both referrals found illnesses that she didn't bother taking care of. One time, the student doctor showed a million times more concern for me than she did and I had to beg that she run some tests because she was just going to make me leave without doing anything. It worries me that she is teaching so many student doctors because I fear we will have a bunch of new doctors with no concern for their patients.

She is absolutely amazing! You won't meet a more caring and honest dr. If she doesn't know something, she finds it out and has no issues referring. She even calls and checks in! She's absolutely the most compassionate and gentle person. Highly recommend!

I was temporarily referred to her to discuss options for adhd medications, as mine were no longer satisfactory. She is polite and kind, and truly knows her stuff when it comes to adhd. She further helped by recommending a different antidepressant that helped me immensely.
