Bridging the gap between innovation and access. Bringing advanced wound healing technologies to healthcare providers across the American Southwest.
To ensure that patients in rural and semi-rural Southwest communities have access to the same cutting-edge wound healing technologies available at the nation's leading medical centers. We do this by partnering with innovative manufacturers, providing comprehensive clinical education, and offering hands-on support to healthcare providers across Las Cruces, El Paso, Southern New Mexico, and West Texas.

Tanner served in the United States Navy, where he held dual roles as Security Lead and Financial Analyst. This experience instilled in him a deep commitment to precision, accountability, and disciplined execution—values that define every aspect of Sunspot Medical Group. His military background taught him that details matter, that leadership is about serving others, and that the best decisions come from thorough analysis and unwavering integrity.
Before founding Sunspot Medical, Tanner spent years as a Zimmer Biomet Sales Representative, focused on client acquisition and relationship management in the orthopedic sector. At Zimmer Biomet—one of the world's leading providers of musculoskeletal healthcare solutions—Tanner developed deep expertise in how advanced medical technologies navigate the path from manufacturer to operating room. He learned the complex landscape of clinical workflows, surgeon relationships, reimbursement mechanisms, and the critical importance of evidence-based solutions. This experience gave him insight into what healthcare providers truly need: not just products, but partners who understand their challenges and provide comprehensive clinical support.
Tanner's background also includes experience as a Financial Advisor at Transamerica, where he developed the analytical rigor that shapes Sunspot's business approach. He understands healthcare economics, reimbursement pathways, and how to build sustainable, evidence-driven business models in the medical device space.
A graduate of New Mexico State University, Tanner understands the Southwest intimately. He is a devoted father, community member, and entrepreneur committed to improving healthcare outcomes in his home region. As founder of Sunspot Medical Group, Tanner brings together the discipline of military service, the expertise of corporate medical device innovation, and the passion of a local entrepreneur determined to make a difference. His vision is simple but powerful: no patient in the Southwest should lack access to advanced healing technologies because of geography.
Healthcare providers in rural and semi-rural Southwest communities often struggle to access the most advanced wound care technologies. When a patient in Las Cruces or El Paso develops a complex chronic wound—a diabetic foot ulcer, a venous leg ulcer, or a severe burn—their providers may have limited access to the biologic solutions that could transform their outcome. Geographic isolation shouldn't determine a patient's access to innovation.
This gap in access inspired the founding of Sunspot Medical Group.
Sunspot Medical bridges this gap by partnering with innovative manufacturers—Kerecis and SYLKE—and providing comprehensive clinical education, hands-on training, and ongoing support to healthcare providers across the Southwest. We don't just sell products; we build long-term partnerships focused on improving patient outcomes.
Omega-3 Rich Atlantic Cod Skin
Kerecis represents a breakthrough in biologic wound care. The grafts are derived from intact Atlantic cod fish skin, naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and collagen. This natural scaffold promotes tissue regeneration and accelerates healing in chronic and acute wounds.
Hypoallergenic Silk Fibroin Strips
SYLKE represents innovation in wound closure. Made from silk fibroin derived from Bombyx mori (silkworm), these hypoallergenic strips provide optimal wound approximation with minimal tissue trauma and inflammation—superior to traditional sutures and adhesives.
