Testimonials

"Having been referred to the best breast surgeon on island, I walked into the office feeling lost and ill-informed and being diagnosed with breast cancer at 32 years old, overwhelmed was an understatement. After sitting with Dr. Tanja and listening to all the facts of my Stage 3 condition, I was faced with some of the hardest decisions in my life to make and with less than 4 weeks to make them. "Let me save your life" - I will never forget those were her words to me a few days before my 33rd birthday. I decided to trust Dr. T with my life and Every step of the way, she was available and made it easy for me to have all the information I needed to make an informed decision, which was important for me.

Thanks to Dr, Tanja's guidance, support and mastery in surgery, from the Port of Cath insertion surgery to my partial mastectomy, both so beautifully done. I'm happy beyond grateful that one year later; post chemotherapy, surgery and radiation treatments; I am now in remission.
I will forever be grateful to Dr. Tanja Ebanks, she truly saved my life and fought for me when I was even too tired to fight for myself.

THANK YOU Dr.Tanja and the team.

My name is Patrick and I have suffered from varicose veins in both my left and right legs. With ongoing swelling and regular pain, I sought the help of Dr. Tanja Ebanks while living in the Cayman Islands.

My experiences with Dr. Tanja could be best described as caring, thorough, professional and helpful.

With my knowledge of medical terminology and processes being very limited, she always took the time to clearly explain in a language I could understand what issues I was facing, what treatments were available and what the best course of action would be, which made me feel much at ease. In addition to displaying a passion for her work, she made me very comfortable with her surgical abilities through her knowledge of the vascular system and general professionalism.

Most importantly, she displayed a level of caring and empathy which I believe is hard to find within the medical industry. She understood my concerns and worries and always took the time to listen when I needed it most. Although she started as my doctor and went on to become my surgeon, she was always my friend when I really needed one. I cannot emphasize this aspect enough, as it is something I hold in high regard when addressing my health concerns.

Even as I am now living in the UK, she is in regular contact with me simply to check up on my health, which is something I truly appreciate and admire.
If not for Dr.Tanja my legs would not be in the great health they are today, nor would I be continuing to enjoy the sports I love such as hockey, snowboarding and rock climbing.
I highly recommend her to anyone needing vascular consultation as I am certain she will take wonderful care of you as she did me.

I was reluctant to go outside in shorts and skirts not to mention the dread of putting on a bathing suit! It’s a terrible way to feel especially when living on a tropical island! But my legs just didn’t look like they used to with all the dark lines and bruised areas from varicose and spider veins. I was so pleased when my regular doctor recommended specialist Dr Tanja Ebanks for the problem. To have someone on island who could deal with the problem was as much of a relief as being able to deal with the problem itself! Dr Ebanks recommended two types of treatment for the different types of broken veins. We started with sclerotherapy injections and even though I didn’t care for the compression stockings afterward I was so happy with the results. The pain and swelling in my legs subsided and the dark lines I had started to disappear! Then for the smaller spider veins she recommended VEIN GOGH- a relatively painless procedure and NO compression stockings afterward! It was so easy I actually sat through multiple sessions in one afternoon! Every day my legs look and feel better and I have been exercising pain-free and have even been getting my suntan back! Dr Ebanks is wonderful and her attention to detail is amazing—-it’s such a pleasure to look in the mirror and see the legs I used to have all over again! If you’ve ever entertained the idea of vein therapy don’t hesitate any longer. It was the best call I could have made! Thank you Dr. Ebanks, I am very happy with the outcome and I can’t thank her enough! I appreciate all her help!

I have been a patient of Dr Tanja Ebanks for over a year. I would certainly recommend her and have spoken very highly of her services to friends. Dr Ebanks has worked wonders alleviating the Varicose vein problems in both my legs and my circulation is now better than ever. I am so pleased with the results I am now confidently wearing dresses again after years of hiding my legs in trousers, Dr Ebanks has changed my life. My experience with both Dr Ebanks & CTMH Doctors Hospital was fantastic with everything I needed available when I needed it, even down to measuring me for stockings required for my recovery. A definite A+

What I liked about having Dr.Tanja as a doctor was that she did a good job but most that she followed up and checked every 2 weeks and later every month to make sure that everything was all right. it’s 2 years ago now and my legs are better than ever, playing tennis 4 times a week and i don’t feel anything in my legs. I am very pleased with the result and try to recommend her to everybody.

At the beginning of this year, I finally scheduled a follow-up mammogram and ultrasound that I had put off because of lockdown. It revealed 2 areas of concern. Dr. Tanja got me scheduled straight away for an MRI which was followed by biopsies as my family history gives me an increased risk of breast cancer. While the results were good, Dr. Tanja has also arranged for me to speak with an oncologist, as well as a plastic surgeon, should this become necessary. I am so grateful that within a short period of time a solid plan that I have great confidence in has been put in place.

I developed a varicose vein over a decade ago, while pregnant. It became progressively more uncomfortable over time, and finally quite painful over the past 3-4 years. I finally booked to see Dr. Tanja, and am so happy that I did. It was decided that the vein could be resolved with surgery. Everything went smoothly, and the recovery did not take long. Although there is an obvious aesthetic benefit to the surgery, I had not realized just how much pain I had been in, and the fact that I am now pain-free has had a big positive impact on me. 

I've been going to Dr. Tanja for over 12 years. I've found Dr. Tanja to be very thorough, professional and always ready to answer my questions and explain things so I that I can understand. Dr. Tanja was there for me when I discovered I had Breast Cancer, during Covid in 2020. She explained the findings, my possible options and then performed all 3 of my surgeries. I know she saved my life and I'm forever grateful to her. You want Dr. Tanja on your team, period! I do not hesitate to recommend Dr. Tanja and I continue to see her to this day.

Dr. Ebanks is an amazing surgeon! She performed a lumpectomy on me in September 2021. Before the surgery she came into my room to make sure I was calm and reassured me everything would be ok. She even held my hand several times and rubbed my arm.

After they wheeled me into the surgical room I started feeling extremely nervous. Then Dr. Ebanks walked into the room with a big smile on her face, grabbed my hand, gave me some more reassurance and said “See ya on the other side.” After the surgery, she came to check on me right away and was there bright and early the next morning to check on me again.

Months before my surgery, Dr. Ebanks told me there might be a strong possibility that I might loose my nipple. I did not want this to happen and asked her to save if she could. Well with her wonderful surgically gifted hands she was able to save it!

Through this whole process, I appreciated her straightforward and firm approach before and after the surgery and now during my recovery phase. If there comes a day that I need another surgery, Dr. Ebanks will be the first person I call.

I would like to express my thanks to CTMH Doctors Hospital and the staffs especially to Dr. Tanja Ebanks for a successful surgery she did to my left hand. My two fingers (point and middle) were put back with the use of the state of the art equipment of the hospital. Thank God, I didn’t lose my job as a construction worker because my fingers are still complete and I can perform my duties the same way before I had surgery.

I have been Dr Tanja Ebanks’ patient for several years and in my experience, she is a very skilled surgeon and clinician in the management of breast health care.  I unreservedly recommend her to family, friends, indeed anyone, who may benefit from her specialised care and expertise.  I have definitely benefitted from her steady, calm, fact-based, clinical care management;  for which I am truly grateful. We are fortunate to have a clinician of Dr Ebanks’ calibre in our relatively small community.
