Cheryl Tano

Dr. Tano has been an excellent mentor, guiding me through internship, residency, and as I start my career. She encouraged my love of orthopedics and thinking outside of the box. She is an outstanding surgeon and teacher. I am lucky to have worked with her!

Dr. Tano has been my mentor for 20 years now, starting as my surgery intern advisor and now as my colleague. She has been a steady, calm influence through all that time. Now that she is retiring, I will miss her presence, help, and advice so much in the future.

Dr. Tano shaped my approach to medicine through her meticulous surgical planning and executing. Beyond her surgical expertise, she taught me the value of joy in the workplace, proving to be one of the funniest storytellers in our profession. Most importantly, she truly cared for her team, always making time to listen. Thank you for being an incredible, cultured mentor!

Dr. Tano was my resident advisor and is still someone I can look up to years later!

- Davida Rausch, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal)

Dr. Tano has been a wonderful role model as a surgeon and residency advisor. She is truly dedicated to providing the best medicine to the patients and also teaching her mentees. She has been very supportive, not only throughout my residency years, but post-residency as well.
