When I finally saw him, I was the last patient. He asked a lot of questions, and was very thorough with his responses to my questions. I didnt feel rushed but I was surprised to learn that the building was closed Dr. Tewes spent about an hour

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.

I was so impressed with Dr. Tewes. His demeanor, professionalism, and explanation of my condition was clear, and the recommendations and meds prescribed took care of my problem. Unfortunately, some medical professionals come across as condescending. Dr Tewes is just the opposite! I was convinvced that he had my welfare as his primary goal. Very fine physician.

He's knowledgeable. He's always been very nice. I just felt rushed the last time, like he only heard half of what I said.
