Tanenbaum Mark MD

Note: I visited Dr. Tanenbaum at the Virginia Heart location at Inova Fair Oaks. Like most specialists, I believe he alternates his time between different locations.
Anyway, I’ve only been to one appointment so far, but Dr. Tanenbaum is definitely one of the best doctors I’ve seen in ages. My visit was concerning my hypertension — I had been through so many medications with my family doctor, but I couldn’t tolerate the side effects of any of them. (The final straw was when I complained of fatigue and had antidepressants thrown at me – it says right on the bottle that it may cause drowsiness!)
Dr. Tanenbaum really took the time to learn my medical history and devised a plan of treatment to get my blood pressure under control. Initially, I was afraid that his bedside manner would leave much to be desired — the man used to be a professor at Georgetown. My fears were unfounded, as he was very compassionate and courteous. I highly recommend Dr. Tanenbaum!
