- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/27/2025

Because of Dr. Tanio, I have a chance to beat pancreatic cancer. She ordered additional testing due to some erratic blood pressure readings and spotted a lesion on the tail of my pancreas. It was diagnosed as stage 1B pancreatic cancer. I had successful surgery, and now am undergoing chemotherapy. Without Dr. Tanio's persistence in getting to the root of my problem, my cancer would not have been discovered so early. Dr. Tanio may have literally saved my life and I will be forever grateful!
