Top knotch doctor!
Great care
Dr. Tewes is simply the best, easy to talk with who answers all of my questions and gives thorough explanations of both the procedures and the expected outcomes, a competent surgeon with years of prior experience who is also comfortable using the latest technology, and a person who has my complete trust. I might also add that he has the greatest team of nurses working with him at the Surgery Center. I am actually looking forward to having Dr. Tewes operate on my other knee so that I can talk with Mandy and Nikki prior to surgery. They are the highlight of the entire experience.
A true professional at his craft
Dr Tewes is not only a phenomenal surgeon and an expert at his craft, it is obvious that he genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients.
As always, an excellent explanation of my knee X-rays as I prepare for my knee replacement. Thanks
Dr Tewes was very patient and my visit was very informative. He explained all of my options and helped me decide on the best action going forward. It was a pleasant change to have a doctor who actually listened to my concerns and helped me talk through them.
Thorough, knowledgeable and professional doctor;
Nicest guy and does great work!
Took really good care of me.
