Rufus Tanner

Certified Physician Assistant (PA-C)

“As a young man growing up in Odessa, Texas, I was inspired to join the healthcare profession by my best friend's father, a family physician who taught me that dignity, respect, and compassion are just as important to a patient’s well being as the medical treatments they receive. 

I strive to practice this core belief every day by providing support and giving hope to the patients I serve.”
