Listened to me and the problems.
Very friendly and informative. Thank you 😌
He’s great
Dr. Tewes and the NE Ortho Center group have given my wife and I excellent medical services for many years. Highly Recommended.
He always takes the time to explain even if he’s running behind.
He is so kind, calm and explains absolutely everything he’s going to do and things to watch for. Hundred percent recommend him to everyone.
Great work
Best in the doc business.
Fantastic! Nice, thoughtful, shows confidence and passes his on his knowledge in an understandable way.
I have been a patient of Dr Tewes since 2006. He has done three surgeries on me. He has provided me outstanding care. From the moment I presented to the receptionist, to the person who took radiographs, to the PA who went over my health history to being evaluated by Dr Tewes I was treated with class, respect, and professionalism. The entire staff was marching to the same beat. I have been treated this way for over 18 years; but this visit it was most evident.in patient care. This facility should be the world model for their extraordinary service.
