I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Tennant for everything he has done for my mom. She has suffered from chronic back pain due to many different conditions for many years now, and I have seen her go through so much with doctors, emergency rooms, etc. trying to do something to help her problem. As a nurse myself, I have seen first hand how some doctors and nurses treat patients with chronic pain, and it breaks my heart, especially when the patient is your own mother! Since my mom has started seeing Dr. Tennant, she has changed so much. Her mood and attitude have greatly improved, and she seems more like she used to be, before all this horrible mess started. It is so nice to have a doctor that can finally understand what is going on with my mom, and that can treat her as patient and a real person at the same time. Thanks again for all you have done!

Dr Tennant is truly the best of a dying breed of physicians who have genuine concern for the health and well- being of their patients. I cannot describe in few words how his treatment has improved the quality of my life. I do not believe I would even be here, if not for Dr. Tennant. He is genuine, and straight forward. I believe he has integrity, which seems to be difficult to find anymore .From my first visit, I noticed a difference, I felt welcomed by the warmth and kindness of Miriam, as I fearfully walked through the door. I was weak, miserable, and praying at times, to die, just to escape the exhausting, never ending suffering. Then I ran across his web-site and I had hope, that I had finally reached the place, I belonged. He actually listens to each patient, and treats each as an individual, not assuming that what works for one, must work for all. As it has been said,"One man's cure is another's poison." He seems to understand this fact. My medical conditions are complex, due to multiple sources of pain, and allergies to many medications. After intractable pain entered my life, I was frequently been treated disrespectfully, and humilatated by other Docters...such as being yelled at in the ER, because I was unable to find a Physician to treat my migraines. These experiences make me feel anxiety when I see a medical professional, even though I once was one, myself, for most of my adult life.. Dr. Tennant even has the instant cure for this condition....an absolute hilarious, and disarming sense of humor, and wit. Since I became a patient, I have lost close relationships, my passion ( my former career ), and barely survived financially. My world was turned upside down, because of intractable pain. Dr Tennant also recognizes this emotional loss, and the effect it has on success of his patient's treatment .So he also encourages his patients to educate their family and friends. He has given me tools to fight my pain, and live my new life to the fullest. I am amazed at his knowledge, and intelligence. I have learned so much from my visits to him, and it is funny that I thought I knew it all, from studying it, and living it. It is my most sincere hope and my prayer that in the future there will be more physicians, like Dr Tennant, so that no other patient will needlessly suffer severe, relentless pain, or be treated disrespectfully, and humiliated,as I was. As for now, I thank God, I am able to travel over 2000 miles to have the blessing of being his patient. Sincerely, Lana
