All he did was just tell my husband what was wrong with. Never listen to his heart our lungs. Come back for a routine physical in six months and see his PA. Never introduced us to PA, who was available. We are to check portal for blood work before physical. Did not say if it was a fasting blood test. My husband and I were long time patients of Dr. Brodie’s and with Susan. Dr. Tewes never showed much interest in his new patient.
