“Leaving Dr. Tannous Office I have felt Heard, and confident of his treatment Plan.”
Dr. Tannous is a Doctor that will take his time to hear you, and give you feedback on treatment options. Other Pain Specialist wanted to Treat me like a Car Crash Patient, when I had Autoimmune Disease "Behcet's Disease" This Disease will never go away and it is life long and full of Pain in Joints and Mucous Membranes. No Spine Stimulator will cure or get rid of the pain. That is what other Pain Specialist wanted to do with Me. Now Dr. Tannous he took my entire medical file and read over everything and said Your Pain will never go away, but lets make it as manageable as possible. That is what Dr. Tannous has done for me. When he moved from Virginia, I followed him to Maryland. I drive 1 1/2 hour to see him. That is how much I believe in his care and treatment for me. He is honest and has SUCH AN AMAZING BED SIDE MANNER with Patients. I am very type A and speak my mind on anyone Positive or Negative... Dr Tannous is a true God Send for me.

“Excellent Experience!”
Ten years ago I was diagnosed w/some disc issues and have had many cortisone shots over the years. But, it was about 4 years since my last one and given I had new insurance I had to find a new doctor. I found Dr. Tannous through my insurance doctor list and then did my research. The reviews were very positive and I can see why! Dr. Tannous listened carefully to my history, my symptoms, and pain levels. After an MRI, he described the findings while showing me the images and recommended a treatment plan. Dr. Tannous' technique was slightly different than in the past, but it was very effective. I am now pain free again! I can't say enough how good this feels. Thank you Dr. Tannous!

“Dr. Tannous is THE best pain management doctor around”
I transferred to Dr. Tannous at the beginning of 2019 to continue treatment of my pain associated with Lupus, Fibromyalgia, and Arthritis. Out of all of my doctors, he listens to what I say completely before responding and provides multiple options for treatment. I drive more than an hour to see him; that's how much I appreciate his outlook on things and how he treats not only me but all of his patients.
