What patients are saying.
Dr. Teagarden is one of the top physicians I've visited in my life. Her intelligence combined with her bedside manner assure me that I am receiving the best care possible.
Dr. Durstin is a very good doctor. Her exams are quick, efficient, and she answers my questions in terms that I can understand.
I always have a good experience, whether it's good news or bad, I feel safe, comfortable, and respected. This practice has become part of my family.
Dr. Stekler was excellent! Very professional, listened, and very good at explaining. I will pass the word to my friends! Glad we still have excellent doctors like him in the field!
Dr. Durstin was fantastic! The first time ever that I was put at ease. She was very caring and was the only doctor that could ever relax me. Thank you!
I have been seeing Dr. Stekler for 32 years, and have always been treated with courtesy and respect by him and his staff!
