Too bad DR Ventrous is leaving been with him over 25years.
Doctor Tanenbaum is great! He and his staff are very courteous and professional. If he see something out of his realm of expertise he will let you know and direct you to someone who’s an expert in that field. I would not go anywhere else! I consider him to be the top in his field. He has always treated me as a friend not just another patient!!
