One Star

Can't believe he is still in practice!!! He did knee replacement for me, in Dec. 2015. contracted MRSA, from unsanitary practices in his office. Had to have a total knee revision in Apr. 2017 ( Performed by another surgeon ) because Dr. Tanko failed to perform the replacement correctly. DO NOT GO TO HIM !!!!!

Show Rating Breakdown

Do not go to him

Prescribed surgery when it was not necessary. Quit or left with no warning.

Show Rating Breakdown

Do NOT go to him!!

I had 2 surgeries with him. One for a meniscus, and one for an ACL.

Poor judgement

Dr. Tanko acts as a Independent Medical Exam doctor. He misdiagnosed and underestimated my auto accident injuries, thus cutting off my benefits way before recovery. Patient beware.

Five Stars

Dr. Tanko delivers caring treatment and education of needed interventions. Although he expresses that he enjoys surgery, he is not quick to go that route, instead appropriately seeking other less invasive options. He has provided treatment not only to me, for two separate diagnoses (one urgent and one elective), but also my teenager.
