I went to a neuro who said my problem was caused by my RA and I need to get it under control. If she had not been so dismissive, I would not be living with this nightmare.

I've been seeing Dr. Tanasa for a while and it has been a great experience. She has taken the time to fine tune my treatment and is very easy to chat with and ask questions. She also pays attention to other conditions during her examinations so is an overall asset as a doctor beyond her specialty.

Dr. Tanasa has been my doctor for going on two years. She is very patient ,caring and kind. She did not like seeing me in pain and did everything she could do to eliminate it.I was going on a trip and she was very sad that I was in pain and did what she could to ease my pain. I will see her in two weeks and have a lot to share with her. No MORE PAIN!!!!!

MD takes her time to find out what is going on. Quick to return phone calls. Very caring and concerned for patient welfare. Would highly recommend her.

I loved Dr Tanasa. However I have just learned (when I want to make my 3 month appointment) that she is no longer practicing medicine but teaching at Emory. I feel betrayed and seriously let down.
