Dr. Ted Satosh Tanaka, MD

A trusted healthcare provider suggested Dr. Tanaka when I was seeking a second opinion for two problems with my feet. I had already seen one podiatrist who was highly aggressive in his recommendations, So that’s why I wanted a second opinion. I have been very pleased with Dr. Tanaka’s explanations and his approach, which is in keeping with my needs and personal preferences. And as it ended up, and as Dr Tanaka suggested, the acute issue that I was facing was able to resolve with simple remedies over the course of several months and did not require surgery. Additionally, as other reviewers have noted, Dr. Tanaka and his staff are super pleasant and efficient. I can and I will recommend Dr. Tanaka to others seeking quality and pleasant Podiatry care. Separately, but related, (as I know from my own field of Work) most medical providers are under pressure to produce revenue due to the “corporatization” of medical care. I appreciate when a medical provider can achieve the dual goals… of economic sustainability and providing quality, patient-focused care. Thank you.

Dr. Tanaka is friendly, professional, caring, helpful and efficient.

I first consulted with Ted Tanaka after another podiatrists failed to solve my problem and foot pain. Ted got it right the first time with grace and a smile. I just went back to have my orthotics refreshed as the padding has worn out after 3 years of use. Highly recommended and probably the best in the Bay Area.

Dr. Tanaka is very kind, knowledgeable, and thorough. His office staff is very efficient and pleasant.

Dr Tanaka is a hiker like I am so he understands how important my feet & ability to walk are to my well being. Today he immediately diagnosed the problem I was having & offered solutions including pain treatment & a recommendation for a better type of shoe for me when doing long walks & hikes.

Dr Tanaka is very professional with a great bed side manner. He explained what was going on with my foot issue and gave me solid advice.

I bring my husband Howard, who lives in assisted living, to Dr Tanaka for toe nail and foot health. We love Dr Tanaka! He is always professional, competent and friendly!

I've been seeing him for years; excellent doctor. Nice new office! they can take xrays there.

Dr. Tanaka's office staff are cheerful and helpful, and Dr. Tanaka himself is friendly, with a "foot-side" manner that makes is clear that he cares about the well-being of his patients. He is very relaxed, but efficient, and is invested in ensuring that the treatment he provides really resolves the condition that brought a patient to his practice in the first place.

Dr. Tanaka reviewed the xray and gave me a thorough explanation of the situation. He was knowledgeable, thorough, friendly and positive.
