Dr Tefend was excellent. However the wait time from being checks in and called to room is often delayed and takes too long.

As stated before, Dr Tefend is Excellent.

04/24/2024

I felt rushed, unheard and invalidated with my physical complaints. I came to my appointment with all of my blood pressure records as well as a list of physical symptoms that I though warranted further attention due to the number of years I have struggled to find an answer. I didn't feel as if the provider took the time needed to go over my symptoms and discuss a plan of action. The provider was dismissive of my home monitoring (blood pressure) and seemed unconcerned despite my family history. I work in healthcare and it was very insulting to have a provider dismiss my complaints and not reply to messages sent directly to her.

04/23/2024

Always feel comfortable with her

Very concerned w/my situation of follow up after hospitalization
