Dr. James Berry Tankersley, MD

I've had oral surgery twice before meeting Doc Tankersley (in other states), and both were traumatic episodes. Also had a recommendation from a third dentist/oral surgeon in Knoxville who wanted to remove 8 teeth that were healthy but supposed health risk 20 years ago. Tank recommended removing only one of those. He cost himself a lot of cash with that recommendation, but I am glad I took his advice. Excellent technician and knowledgable. I'll never go to anyone else if I can help it.

My 18 yr. old daughter had appt. to remove wisdom teeth. after a 45 min. wait, from the min. the dentist walked imto the room he was completely unethical, rude and smart aleck. long story short we ended up leaving without procedure and will not go back! With 20 rs exp. one would think that he would have more patience with young people who have never had any kind of anesthesia of any kind of way ever and was scared!
