I love seeing this provider, Dr. Tantengco, as she makes me feel very cared for. I know that she is so knowledgeable about heart health and just my health, where some other providers, they treat you like you're not significant, but she really makes me feel cared for as she's just so knowledgeable about my previous history and shows that in conversation. She's also very understanding and supportive in giving the best advice on how to be healthy, how to take care of my health. Answers all my questions I have in regards to my heart, medication, any recommendations of like different services to support my heart. She is just super helpful and I would recommend to everyone.

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!
