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.

Dr Teachey is one of a kind, you do not find doctors like him anymore. He takes the time to listen to you, and explain what he thinks is the problem. I came to him because the ENT I saw in the ER told me to call if I needed to come back and make an appointment, called and was told 3 months. Dr Teachey got me in right away and explained my condition and what the treatment would be. I will be forever grateful to this man, for he saved me headaches and pain. He knows what he is talking about.

Dr. Teachey and his staff are amazing. They are always pleasant on the phone and in person. Dr. Teachey is very thorough and patient. He explains what he is doing and what his findings are with grace and consideration. He treats you like you are the only patient that matters. I have never felt rushed or hurried. He checks on me and makes sure I keep up with the plan he set for me. I find it truly amazing that he remembers all that we mentioned in my visit. He is simply the best.

i first visited Dr. Teachey in late January of 2018 for chronic sinus headaches.I have had this problem on and off for 30 years. He scoped my nose and throat and scheduled a ct scan. All came back normal and said i had myofascial pain symdrome. Which is a referred pain that was caused from gym improper workouts that caused muscle tightness in my shoulder and neck.and triggered pain in my sinus.He sent me for dry needling sessions and stretching.After 8 sessions i am headache free!!

Dr Teachey has been my doctor for over 25 years, I'm currently being treated for Tinnitus with myofascial trigger point theory which has given me significant relief. One treatment was observed by a professor from Harvard . At my last visit it came to my attention that the last three procedures were done at no charge to me due to insurance questions about the treatment. Dr Teachey is an outstanding and caring doctor who I am blessed to have. The staff, Brenda, Donna, and Christi are great.

I am currently a patient of Dr. Teachey's and have been for the last 8 years. During the course of my treatment Dr. Teachey has been very professional, compassionate and diligent in identifying and treating my migraine headaches and sinus problems. As a patient suffering from Myofascial Dysfunction with Trigger Points Dr. Teachey is concerned more about my correct and continued treatment than the monetary aspect of the cost of this treatment not covered by insurance. A remarkable physician!

Dr. Teachey is an outstanding doctor that I have recommended numerous times without reservation. He is patient, thorough, and willing to think outside of the box to solve your medical issue. He is one of the few doctors that treat tinnitus; he has helped me immeasurably, and I encourage all to seek his expertise. I drive three hours one way! to see him regularly, and I know without a doubt that it is well worth it. I find his staff superb, and very willing to work with me on billing issues.

My experience as Dr. Teachey’s patient is exceptional. He helped save my life by telling me to take action on an issue that confounded another ENT doctor and his associates, for a year. I prefer a doctor who has his own practice, not part of a corporate group. He takes time with you to answer your questions. In my experience many doctors give you short snapping answers and are backing out of the room within minutes. I have recommend Dr. Teachy to family members and friends. You won’t find better

I've been seeing Dr. Teachey for almost 20 yrs and have the utmost respect for him He diagnosed a problem I was having that 4 other doctors and specialists could not. He explained everything clearly and answered any questions thoroughly. I never felt rushed. I've never had to wait very long to get an appointment and had minimal waiting time once I arrived at his office. Office was clean and staff was extremely friendly and concerned.

I was referred to Dr. Teachey about two years ago by an Ear Nose and Throat Dr. at EVMS. I had been experiencing severe pain in my left ear for several months & was diagnosed with Myofascial Dysfunction. Dr. Teachey was very knowledgeable on the subject. He patiently explained everything to me and recommended a course of treatment .He has given me the tools and information I need to manage the myofascial pain. Wonderful doctor with a caring a compassionate staff.

Very disappointed with Dr. TEACHEY. My family has been seeing Dr. Teachey for over 30 years he took my tonsils out when I was 16. My dad called to set an appointment for his ears and was told that they are only seeing 2-3 Medicare patients a week because of too much paperwork. They don't want to do the paperwork! Dr. Teachey is more concerned about $$$ than his loyal patients. Find another Dr.one who cares about people . Willing to do the "paperwork" Do their job!! On behalf of my parent

Dr. Teachey was instrumental in diagnosing my myofascial pain that was causing problems with my breathing and swallowing. He is patient and educated me on my condition. Dr. Teachey and his staff spend time with their patients and genuinely care about their well being. He referred me to a physical therapist and therapeutic masseuse that are also amazing and after just a few months I have noticed a great change. I highly recommend Dr Teachey and his team.

My 5 month trek between specialists ended with the excellent care of Dr. Teachey and his caring staff. I got an appointment within a few days of my call. I had shortness of breath, deep, sharp arm pain, intermittent sinus pressure, and a hoarse voice. I had seen my PCP, urgent care, rheumatologist, oncologist and pulmonologist. It turned out I had myofascial dysfunction, a common but under recognized condition. Dr. Teachey gave me injections which provided immediate relief.

I was frantically trying to find an ENT specialist and was told by many I couldn't be seen for months. I called Dr Teacheys office and spoke with Brenda, his nurse, who made sure I was seen within a day. She was compassionate and really made me smile when I came in. In my experience in seeing many doctors and specialist; he was the first to really listen and understand my pain. He was able to actually diagnosis my problem and not just treat the symptoms.

Dr. Teachey's practice is small and definitely caring. Dr. Teachey was able to diagnose the chronic ear, neck and throat pain/discomfort I was experiencing when other doctors could not. I have Myofascial Pain Syndrome. Not only has he provided treatment, but took the time to educate me on how I can best help myself! He and his staff are always reassuring and comforting. They practice medicine much differently than the large, multi doctor and multi office practices. It makes a difference.

I have been a patient of Dr. Teachey's for over 40 years. He has provided excellent care, and shows concern for the overall well-being of his patients. He located and operated on a cholesteatoma in 2007 which saved my life. He has referred me to other caregivers for conditions outside his expertise, and I have been very satisfied with the care and concern I have received. Dr. T and the staff are much like family, and treat us like friends. The wait time is usually under five minutes or less

I have been an longer time patient since 1988. Dr. Teachey and staff have cared for my medical issues from sinus, shingles, tumor and myofascial. With any medical issues diagnosis was promptly treated, shingles were stopped by treatment before traveling to my face. Tumor was removed from under my right jaw line, with surgery around my ear with very little scarring.

I would recommend Dr. Teachey because he is a very caring and excellent doctor! I had been dealing with severe head and neck pain for 20 years now and thought that this was something I had to just deal with everyday. Dr. Teachey was able to exam me and properly identify what condition I actually (myofascial pain) have after being seen by neurologists, a neurosurgeon, and other doctors! I am now receiving the care that I need to move forward in life and my future is much brighter!
