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.

From all my doctors, he is the best. Doctor Tessnow seems very knowledgeable and explains any changes he recommends. I am a patient for more than twenty years of this UT Sub Specialty Clinic, because my experience with their doctors and the clinic has been and is excellent.

He made me feel very comfortable in having a procedure done at his clinic and explained thoroughly what was going to happen. Throughout the procedure, he would stop to ask if I was doing okay before proceeding. The fact that he has a sense of humor certainly helped deter any anxiety.
