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.

Four years ago, I was diagnosed with Melanoma and was referred to Dr. Tanabe. I was very comfortable with him the minute I met him. He was very personable and caring. He put me at ease and today I am totally healthy. I would refer him to anyone without hesitation.

I have had two surgeries in which dr Tanabe removed tumors from my liver. At both times he was very professional and informative to me and my family I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon as well as all the staff at MGH so thankful I was referred to him and would definitely refer him to anyone else
