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.

Horrible doctor catches a attitude when asked about my own health its like she doesn’t listen to your needs and she does give u a proper check up ! She needs to just go back to doing something that has nothing to do with others health horrible i see why shes not a doctor

Outstanding!
Telehealth
Dr Tizita Tessema provided outstanding medical service. I phoned the office late afternoon, feeling desperate with asthma and sudden covid. She talked with me right away through a televisit. She asked about my symptoms & past drug reactions. She carefully checked my medical history & most recent lab test results. She immediately sent the pharmacy a prescription for Paxlovid and took the time to explain the risks, interactions with other medications, possible dangerous side effects, & what I should do if they occurred. I am really impressed and thankful!

Heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care
I am writing to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional care provided by Dr. Tessema during her time at GW. As a nurse practitioner, she consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise that truly set her apart.From my very first appointment, Dr. Tessema made me feel comfortable and heard. She took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explain my treatment options, and answer all of my questions with patience and clarity. Her dedication to her patients’ well-being was evident in every interaction.What impressed me most about Dr. Tessema was her ability to combine medical knowledge with genuine empathy. She not only addressed my physical health needs but also provided emotional support, making me feel valued as a person, not just a patient. Her holistic approach to healthcare significantly improved my overall experience and outcomes.I was deeply saddened to learn that Dr. Tessema has left GW. Her departure is a significant l
