Here is his page under "find a doc". There are a lot of patient reviews with links to their profiles and e-mail addresses. Maybe you could e-mail his patients directly. Hope this helps. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/mdcomments.phtml?N=k212 Shelley

Dr Tanaka did my Surgery New Years Eve 2001 - HE IS AMAZING! I must say - all the other PB patients who had the surgery done the smae day had some kind of issue post-op - not all related to the doctor - but may have been prevented. Dr Tanaka is VERY clear with his instructions and very firm - it really worked for me as self-control was never my strong point LOL! He has a very sharp sense of humor - I am very happy with him.
