Always very cordial and informative!!
Dr. Tewes has always been great anytime I have had to see him. He always explains things in a manner that is easy to understand and is very willing to answer any questions I have.
Dr Tewes was very patient with me. Spent alot of time explaining treatments and addressing my issues for today. Never felt rushed even though it was late in the day. Entire staff was super.
Dr Tewes is an amazing and gifted physician and a blessing to me in this current situation and others that I have seen him for in the past. There is no one else I would see for orthopedics!
Always great.
So kind and caring. Makes you feel like a person instead of a symptom.
I would like an mri of my right side. I’m not any better
I was really impressed with both Ryan and Dr. Tewes. Helped me with my decision I made about my knee. I felt very comfortable with both of them!
Excellent and caring Doctor
He is always warm and personable, as well as exceptionally competent!
