I’ve been dealing with Doctor Terek since 2014. He is not good with patient interaction. I’ve had to have a second surgery after a second opinion in Boston children’s hospital and 8 years later he is asking “why do you not walk with the same limp” it was because they corrected the surgery he did WRONG! Good office , decent surgeon not personable
