Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Personable, caring and explained what was to be expected for my fathers procedure (peritoneal dialysis catheter placement) during the consultation, on the day of surgery (prior to surgery) and after surgery. Everything went well so far and my dad wanted to know later after his procedure will I ever see him again? Blessings to Dr. Teppara and his staff

After a few attempts to summarize my relative's surgery experience, I am opting for a less-is-more approach. All I really need to say is that the surgery had to be corrected by another surgeon in an emergency scenario a few days later. It is also important to note that even though Teppara described the surgery as difficult and the situation as much more complex than anticipated, he never saw my relative again. According to her chart, one of his assistants came in and supposedly did a post op evaluation at 6 a.m. the day after. She has no knowledge of ever seeing this person. It is a bit of a mystery to me how you can effectively evaluate a post-op patient without speaking to them. We were very optimistic about the surgery, but to say it was a disappointing failure both in terms of the surgery and the after care would be an understatement. It is also important to note that the second surgeon volunteered that what Teppara did was wrong and undid it completely and successfully.

My husband had a hernia repair and Dr Teppara saved his belly button which was important. His bed side manner is great. He takes the time to explain everything. He has a phenomenal staff. We are so blessed to have found him.

Doctor Teppara and his staff changed my life, from the lady at the front that answers the phone to the one that takes care of the insurance. The Dr. spends time with you every time you see him, he makes sure you understand everything that is being done. The only Dr. that I give more credit for my felling like I do today is my family Dr. And that is because he sent me to Dr. Teppara!
