She’s really good ankle doctor
Very thorough and made the whole process very informative and understandable.
Absolutely the best. No second guessing knew exactly what to do to fix a problem that was created by another doctor. Great bedside manner, very friendly and made me feel comfortable with choices we were making.
She is amazing! She did surgery on me, while very pregnant which just proves Women can do anything.
Dr Telleria does an amazing job. Very happy with my surgery outcome!
Very knowledgable and personable about my ACL and meniscus injury. I felt like I was in very good hands!
Very easy to talk to!
Jessica was straight and to the point. My husband and I liked her.
Dr. Telleria was great to meet, explained the procedure well, provided helpful information about recovery & what to expect.
She was personable, asked all the right questions, listened carefully to my questions and relevant medical history, explained X-rays clearly, and more. I left my initial appointment with a feeling of confidence that I would receive fine care going forward.
