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.
