About Christopher Tanga DO
Christopher F. Tanga earned his medical degree from West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, West Virginia, with his undergraduate studies completed at Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts. He completed a General Surgery residency at Ohio University, Ohio Health Doctors Hospital and Grant Medical Center where he served as Chief Resident. He is a certified General Surgeon by the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons. He has also completed a vascular surgery fellowship at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York where he also served as Chief Vascular Fellow, and is currently board eligible in vascular surgery.
Dr. Tanga had his first exposure to surgery while working on the North Shore as a nurse’s aide. He felt inspired by two vascular surgeons who exposed him to their practice and patients. He saw the complexity of their work as a challenge, and the relationships that were able to be developed with the patients as extremely rewarding. As a vascular surgeon he has the privilege of making and maintaining long term relationships with his patients which is what has drawn him to this line of surgery. His clinical interests include open and endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, peripheral arterial disease and limb salvage, dialysis access, venous disease, thoracic aortic aneurysms, aortic dissections, and smoking cessation programs.
Dr. Tanga’s philosophy of care is centered around keeping the whole patient as an individual in mind rather than simply the illness that brought them in, and being understanding of how the disease is affecting the patient’s life and overall wellbeing. It is his hope that his patients are able to improve their health and wellbeing while maintaining their dignity. Now, as a member of the Southcoast Health community, Dr. Tanga strives to deliver high quality compassionate care in an efficient health system filled with other expert physicians and practitioners.
Outside of work, Dr. Tanga enjoys spending time with his wife and 4 boys, reading books weekly, and making custom furniture in his woodshop. In addition, he enjoys indulging in seafood and shellfish.

Dr. was 1/2 hour late, did NOT bother to introduce himself or discuss my health, told me there is nothing he can do for me.
Saw me in a timely manner. And explained my issues so I could understand
Dr Tanga and staff always friendly and professional. Dr. Tanga always listens to concerns and explains things so I can understand what is going on. Would highly recommend him.

Overall visit was good. The Nurse was pleasant and courteous. The Doctor asked many questions, listened and clarified responses to my questions when needed. It was easy communicating with him. He explained everything very well.
Very good for his visit with the doctor
Still in the process of finding out what is wrong
All was well Thank You!
Alls well
Very thorough and knowledgeable. I appreciate their focused kindness.
He seemed very down to earth and spoke to me in a way I could easily understand. Some drs are stuffy and talk using 'big' words or lingo that doesn't mean anything. He wasn't like that at all, which I really appreciated. If I needed to, I would def go back or recommend him to others!
Everything was just wonderful!
Everybody was very professional. The personalities were on top. Everybody knew what they were doing. I highly recommend them. Everybody that works there is an asset to the company. I would highly recommend anybody to go there. I myself was very impressed. I felt very comfortable and I'm very trustful.
Dr. Tanga speaks clearly & concisely. He allows time for patient questions and answers them carefully.
Dr. Tanga was aware of the care I had been receiving from other specialists, and addressed my concerns about being fit for surgery scheduled for 2/10/26. He assured me there were no impediments. The visit was very reassuring.
Improvement would have been to be seen on time. Arrived 15 mins early but then sat in room for over 25 mins on a seemingly slow day.
Very organized. Office personnel very personable. Dr Tanga has a charming personality which lightens an otherwise serious/life threatening situation. There should be more like him.u00A0
I would highly recommend Dr. Tanga. He was fantastic. His explanations, he made so much sense and I thought he was the greatest. Thank you.
The provider was very patient and very informative and made sure that I understood what he was talking about and gave me a good follow-up in case anything went wrong and assured me that I'd be fine.
Dr was kind, understanding and empathetic. He seems knowledgeable and i appreciate him
Doc was on time, but his bedside manner was lacking
Dr. Tanga was great to explain more than just the results from the CT scan.I comfortable and at ease.
A pleasant and welcoming visit beginning to end !
He was very helpful with the information he was given!!Went out of his way to navigate finding just what was wrong!!Great bedside manner!! 10+
I was treated with courtesy and respect. Everyone explained procedures completely.
It was my first visit and they made me feel welcome
Provider seemed rushed. Spoke very fast. Stayed across the room. He never came close to examine me. If I had been elderly or not medically educated, I would not have been able to understand him or his plans for my care.
Very pleasant, efficient & knowledgeable
