Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Tefteller was awesome!
This was my first appointment with Dr. Tefteller. He was very welcoming, punctual, patient, respectful and he truly listens. He answered all my questions about how to avoid potential injury. My appointment was easy since I had given my body about 8 weeks off activities in order to heal. I am, at this point, regaining my mobility with very little pain.

I see him for injections for pain. He explains things very well and gives you options for pain. He doesn't talk down to you, is kind and considerate, and most important, I leave feeling better

Excellent care
Dr Tefteller did not keep me waiting forever, but was in the exam room promptly. He quickly diagnosed me, gave me some suggestions to relieve my pain that didn’t include drugs and gave me a referral to PT. He explained things to me in a way I could understand without being condescending, which I always really appreciate. He also took time to answer all my questions and didn’t seem rushed at all. I highly recommend Dr Tefteller for non-surgical, orthopedic care.

The front desk personnel were friendly and prompt. Dr. Tefteller's MA was on time for my appointment getting me back to an examination room. Dr. Tefteller was then prompt, after reviewing my test results, entering the exam room. He was courteous and explained things clearly about what had happened to my hip and a way forward with options which he let me choose after making sure I understood my decisions.The facility was neat, clean, well staffed and efficient in getting patients in and out.

Great with my son
Dr. Tefteller was great with my son. He took the time with him to ask questions, show him x-rays to explain what was going on, and explain to him the next steps. It was so helpful that when we left we knew what the next steps will be and possible outcomes.
