Dr. Tanz took the time to discuss my child's health history with me, any concerns I had about my child currently, and where my child was at with milestones and growth. When examining my child she was cognizant of her being around the age that kids develop stranger danger, so she made sure my baby could see me at all times. She made both of us feel very comfortable.

We had a great debate of why not all medical professionals are the same. That some, from different clinics, truly care about their patients.
