Before joining the Baytown center, Dr. Tanneru was a Hospitalist for Apogee Physicians for five years, where he evaluated patients who were at high risk for hospital admissions or recurrent admissions and focused on preventive care. At CenterWell, he is enjoying his interactions with the senior population, and being able to spend time with his patients. Dr. Tanneru believes in a patient-centered philosophy of care, ensuring his patients well-being and satisfaction through valuable feedback. He is married with two boys and lives in Flower Mound, Texas. In his spare time, he enjoys table tennis and biking.
