      I am a new patient with Dr. Tanega. I arrived for my appointment. Jenny, Dr. Tanega's assistant, was very professional, courteous, and personable. She gave me an overview of the process that I was undergoing. Dr. Tanega was also very professional, and had a great disposition. She was very friendly and made me feel at ease. She explained everything, and, when performing the procedure, she made sure that I was comfortable. Dr. Tanega explained next steps, and I booked an appointment for another procedure. Overall, my experience was great, and I would recommend her to my friends and family, and strangers, too!

      The office appeared to have new and modern equipment. The receptionists were kind. My appointment had to be rescheduled (during the onset of the Covid-19 Pandemic) and during my visit the staff appeared to have implemented some additional hygienic precautions (before social distancing rules and mandates were enforced) which I appreciated.
