Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

PRP injection for wrist pain
I was referred to Dr. Tanner by a colleague for my chronic (1 year) wrist pain that was preventing me from playing tennis. Options were reviewed (including surgery), and I decided to go the PRP route....and I am SOOOO glad I did!!! I am now 8.5 months post-op. My wrist CONTINUES to get better every month. I started lifting weights a few months ago and have slowly increased the weight. There was some discomfort in the beginning, but I have none now. The same with tennis. I started back slowly. Serves took the longest for the discomfort to lessen. I make sure to stretch beforehand so it doesn't bother me. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Marc Tanner for PRP injections of the wrist without hesitation!

I had major issues with my arm’s pumping up while racing dirt bikes. After a surgery with Doctor Tanner I can ride anytime with no arm pump! He has also helped me get back from multiple other injuries! I highly recommend Doctor Tanner for any of your need!

Carpal Tunnel Surgery
Dr. Marc Tanner, perform a minimally invasive endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery on my right hand February 13, 2024. My first office visit and evaluation happened only days after making an appointment. My surgery happened the following week. I’m already enjoying, the ability to play my musical instruments, three weeks after my first appointment. The instruments I play require finger picking with my right hand, so it’s a blessing to enjoy my music again in such a short time frame. There’s more, it’s even going to get better. Thank You Dr. Tanner

Arm pump
Dr. Tanner is amazing. If you are suffering from chronic arm pump give him a call. My son and I both race dirt bikes and for years we tried everything possible to relieve our arm pump. I found Dr. Tanner by listening to the OTP podcast and learned he worked with most of the top off-road riders as well as some supercross riders. He is one of the few orthopedic surgeons in the country that is qualified to perform Endoscopic Forearm Fasciotomy surgery. With this procedure the incision is about an inch long and the recovery time is much shorter than the old zipper way. My son and I have zero arm pump issues now! I highly recommend Dr. Tanner and his staff. He has a passion for the sport and helping riders for any kind of orthopedic injury or issues.

I could not ask for more when it comes to Dr. Tanner. Severely broke my wrist and he got me in the operating room less than 24 hours later putting a plate and 10 screws into my wrist. On top of that he and his whole staff were very helpful in the days post surgery answering any questions I had in regards to the whole thing. Big shout out to Kyle Roth in particular for letting me bug him day and night. Also, Nancy Lollis for being one to facilitate the surgery and being the office manager. I cannot recommend enough. The next time I break my wrist into an 'S' shape like I did this past time, or someone that I know does, there is no doubt in my mind as to who I would recommend them going to. There is a very small, unnoticeable, scar from the surgery. I assumed there would be a giant scar with a bunch of stitches, but no Dr. Tanner is a miracle worker. Other than the initial pain from the surgery, which was minimal, if I did what Dr. Tanner recommended there has been no pain or issues.

To begin with, my entire experience with Dr. Tanner was exceptional! After watching Dr. Tanner's YouTube video explaining the procedure & post-op recovery, I was compelled to schedule! Being a dentist in Arkansas and my hands are my livelihood, I was glad to travel eleven hundred miles knowing my wrist would be in extremely competent hands! I can't say enough good things regarding Dr. Tanner and his care! He is very personable, caring, and experienced! I would highly recommend Dr. Tanner to anyone in need of endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery! Thank you Marc for your remarkable service! It may have been just another workday for you but you've given me a brand new beginning! J. Udouj, DMD

I came to Dr. Tanner after having a problem after surgery elsewhere. He spent lots of time explaining my condition and a plan going forward. I have so much confidence in his ability to take care of me. He has a great personality and was very clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend him. He has a rare gift of spending time and having compassion--a rare gift these days.

I saw Dr. Tanner for a shattered wrist. I was scheduled for surgery on the same day as my initial visit with him (two days after my injury). He is knowledgeable and kind and explained the procedure well. There was an extra fracture that didn’t show up on the X-ray but he took care of it during surgery. He was honest about recovery and what I would need to do to get full function back. He was clear about what to work on and what to avoid during recovery. He is personable and even though I could see he had a busy schedule he gave me the time I needed. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Tanner has performed surgery on both of my hands for trigger finger and on one for carpal tunnel. He was very thorough in his explanation of the procedures. I was very pleased with the outcome and have not had any issues with any of the affected joints since. I was extremely pleased with the carpal tunnel results as Dr. Tanner does the surgery arthroscopically and my recovery time was very minimal and i have no scarring. Highly recommend him GD

Dr Tanner saw my son today for a broken wrist and took excellent care of him. I could not have asked for a better physician to care for my son. I will highly recommend Dr Tanner to anyone who needs orthopedic care. He took great time with us and went above and beyond in every aspect of the care he provided to us. I have worked in healthcare for 25 years and am very choosy when picking providers for my family. Thank you so much to Dr Tanner and his entire staff.
