I have been seeing Dr. Tanner for almost two years. She is an outstanding practitioner. Her "bedside manner" is friendly and warm, all the while she is highly competent and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Tanner to family and friends.

I made an appointment with Dr Tanner inquiring about sensitive patch of skin. She recommended a lotion that didn't work at all in which a perception should have been placed. When I called her nurse to tell her that I was using wasn't working the nurse never called back after talking to her. I definitely would not recommend Laura Tanner at all.

Dr. Tanner was on vacation so I saw her PA for a skin cancer screening (was concerned about a spot and I have a history of melanoma). I waited 1 hr to see the PA (pleaseâ?¦.. she is not an MD). Then she did a very quick scan while I stood. I have NEVER had a skin cancer screening while standing. What's that all about. She did not us a light or magnifying glass. I will not be going back.

Called and stated I would be a new patient, what's the earliest appointment available? No response other than a very blunt "I'm putting you on hold." Long wait with lots of recorded announcements about how great they are and all they offer. Finally another person picked up the phone and asked what I wanted and again immediately and again bluntly, arrogantly informed me she was putting me on hold. More recorded messages. Then the third person asked in a very snippy, incredibly arrogant tone, "How can we help you today?" Absolutely unreal - never before experienced anything like this with any medical office, anywhere. Don't call Wilmington Health for anything - ANY other provicer would have to be better.
