Dr. Eduardo Sy Tanhui, MD

He was rude from the first moment and hollared at me the intire time. He called me a juckie because of the I live in. He stated he know what goes on in this small town. So I can only time mabe he has his iwn bussiness selling drugs in this little town. Very unprofessional!!!!

Very professional, caring, and dedicated to great service. Yes, the wait may be somewhat long. But not bad. I don’t understand why he gets any bad reviews. I’ve been going to him as needed for over a year and I think he’s great!

The staff did not inform me of the cost of the procedure until the third or fourth visit at which point I had about an $800 bill. On multiple occasions while in the waiting room I heard other patients commenting on how the doctor only wanted to do injections. While doing the first steroid injection next to my spine he hit a nerve and caused my leg to twitch wildly. The temperature was 75 to 80 degrees in his office, which is way above what you should have for any medical procedure involving a needle or any other invasive procedure as high temps like that can cause a drop in blood pressure. Combined with a needle or other pain it can cause a vasovagal reaction which lowers the blood pressure. When I found out about the obscenely high bill the doctor approached me in the exam room harassing me about paying the bill telling me that it was not responsible to not pay the bill all at once. I explained to him that I was not told about the cost of the injection before receiving them and that I… could not pay off that bill in one payment and that I would do my best to pay it off over time. He made a comment saying that he should just try not paying his bills at the office, that it would be okay if he didn't pay electric and rent etc. I told him again that I couldn't afford to pay it all at once as I was not told how much it would cost until the third or fourth visit. He then said that this is the best part of being a doctor and muttered something rude and unintelligible about his patients and stalked out of the room. He also made a rude comment about the pain medication and shoved the prescription pad in my face, with the door open to my room and the rooms of the nearby patients. This alone clearly violated HIPPA regulations. I was not seeking medication, I was seeking treatment. I was in a wreck at 18 and have had degeneritive disk disease since. At age 20 I was told that I had the back of a 40 year old. This doctor did not take into account the accident that lead to my disorder or the pain I was in. The injections did not help my condition and only caused more pain. I would not advise going to this doctor if you have any other choice whatsoever. I have an audio recording of some of this conversation and have been considering whether or not to report him.

He's very nice and he's very good. I've been seeing neurologists for 9 years for my migraines. My PCP recommended when my neurologist stopped writing scripts for pain meds. Now I use very little pain meds, which he prescribes.

I have seen Dr. Tanhui on two occasions for a set of 3 injections over a 6 week period in my back for pinched nerves. I have to say that he knows his stuff!!! I felt very comfortable with him inserting needles and injecting my back. My pain was relieved quickly and I can't say enough nice things about him and his assistant Elan and his office staff has always been very cordial. I have recommended Dr. Tanhui to many friends who have pain issues and need a knowledgeable doctor to help them.

Do not waste your time seeing this doctor. Humiliates staff and patients in front of everyone yelling loud enough to be heard. Injections is the only thing he wants to do whether you need them or not, even when your condition prohibits them. Has no compassion for people who really have chronic pain and the medical records to prove the pain. Very arrogant personality and unfortunately due to certain insurance he is the only choice for a very large area. He knows this and does not even try to be a normal human being and realize that pain is not a joke, and living with it on a daily basis with little or no help is impossible to do. No one with chronic pain ask to be put in that condition. Realizing there are people that do abuse drugs, I understand you have to be careful. Obviously, this doctor has not dealt with very much physical pain in his life and he is unaware what a blessing that is. He either has let his degree and money go to his head and forgot why he became a doctor or… he is just plain arrogant and never had any compassion for people. I DoNot recommend him to anyone especially elderly people who can be taken advantage of very easily. If you have an elderly relative going to him, I strongly suggest if you care about them to go somewhere else or to go with them to the appointment and make your own judgement. On the plus side the staff even though the change frequently, have always been great!!

First of all, right off the bat, do not go here if you have a pill problem. Tanhui prescribes low doses and does not even like doing that, trust me, you can tell. All the people in here saying he is a bad doctor are all Junkies or extremely sheltered people. If you have a legit med condition he will treat you properly and will not leave you to suffer, but if you are an addict he will spot you a mile away. Not the best doctor, but far away from the worst. Has a thick accent from asia, speaks bluntly and condescendingly, obviously does not want to write schedule two narcotic drugs, but will do so if warranted. He was fair to me and controlled my pain (yes, with opioids) and so I could care less about his bedside manner because he did what I paid him to do. For those of you looking for a weak doctor to prey on, you got the wrong guy, Tanhui is a rough customer. On this note if you are easily offended, take a large dose of narcotics, or do have an addiction problem, don't go to him, he… has no sympathy for you. For those of us in Legit pain that reasonable doses can control, without getting butthurt by a blunt remark, see him.

I when to this Dr today after waiting over 1 hr he arrived in my room. and immediately told me i needed an injection he had not even asked my name. I told him i was not interested in having an injection at this time but would rather explore physical therapy in conjunction with the pain medication my previous Dr had prescribed, he turned to me and said no i think you are an addict... i was so offended i could cry.. i asked him to look at my previous Dr notes and he said injection or nothing..... i cannot believe this man is allowed to practice medicine on his wall thee are photo of him and celebrities and i guess this is an expensive lifestyle because if you don't want to pay $600 to have an injection you are an addict and out of luck for any other form of pain management.

I am a Marine Veteran with severe injuries from service but due to my age Dr. Tanhui said that I would abuse any drugs that I would receive. He said that my 500 pages of military medical records including surgery photos, MRIs, CT scans, X-ray, and two years of documentation from a previous government approved pain management clinic were not valid and said "They look like records from one of those back alley clinics that just hand out drugs". Overall Dr. Tanhui was rude and would not listen. I will never go back again. I also strongly encourage others to seek care elsewhere.
