    Dr. Tantengco is the best heart doctor. She's very kind and she explains things very thoroughly and I'm very comfortable with her and my daughter loves her. That's all that counts.

    My son felt so calm and comfortable he was able to speak up for himself when a sticker probe didn't feel right ( he said it hurt a little). They tech adjusted it and we were back to performing the test. The Doctor was so calm,friendly and kind. My son said " she was the nicest doctor ever! She was so nice!"

    My son barely talks during doctor's visits - he was so engaged with Dr Tantencgo. She spent so much time with myself and my husband reviewing our family history. I think she has to have been one of the nicest doctors we have ever seen! I wish she took care of adults too i would love to see her for myself!

    So I've been seeing Dr. T my whole life, and she's always been amazing. She's always explained things in a way that's helped me. I've always felt like I could joke around with her. Same with my mom. And she understands my, like, the anxiety and stuff like that. So she, like, always makes sure that I understand that everything's okay. I love her. She's the best. And, like, she goes out of her way to do things that she doesn't need to do. Like she ordered a sleep study for me because she was worried that I might sleep apnea and she didn't have to do that. My partner could have done that but she goes out of her way to do things for me that would help me and make sure that I'm healthy and she doesn't have to do that. I just, I love her and she's amazing.
