Always great
Dr. Tewes is exceptional and so personable. We’ve always had wonderful experiences for our surgeries with him and his staff!
Dr. Tewes is knowledgeable and efficient. He is a doctor who listens to the patient and explains options and the surgical procedure. After having two prior surgeries by Dr. Tewes, I have had nothing but praise for his competence and concern for the patient!
An excellent physician with years of experience.
He always explains what your options are and he is conservative about not always thinking surgery is the answer
