Tanner Dalgardno PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy
Tanner Dalgardno PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical TherapyMy name is Tanner and I love treating a wide variety of injuries and pathologies with a particular interest in post-op recovery including ACL, meniscus repair, and rotator cuff. I believe every individual is unique, and any plan of care should reflect just that. I was born and raised in the Seattle area but have spent time living in Colorado and Arizona, and I have loved exploring what all these places have had to offer. Most weeks you can find me with my wife at the pickleball courts playing with friends, going to the movie theater and seeing what latest flick is playing, or experimenting and trying different craft coffee roasteries.
