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.

Dream Doctor
I cannot say enough about the wonderful Dr. Tellez. She was upbeat, extremely informative and intelligent. She answered all of my questions and I asked a lot of them because I had a good deal of anxiety but she was calm and reassuring and I learned so much from her. She gave me a very good assessment of my prognosis and I left feeling so very upbeat and filled with hope. Who would think you could go to a cancer doctor and feel better after you leave the visit? Wonderful bedside manner as well. We should all be so lucky to have a Dr. Tellez if we should ever need an oncologist.

Dr. Tellez is absolutely wonderful. She is so thorough, includes me in my health decisions and is incredibly compassionate. I couldn't ask for more when looking for a doctor to hep me navigate a complex and often scary medical issue. Her support staff is also excellent and the office runs extremely smoothly/on time.

My first experience with Dr. Tellez was 4-25-17. I must say that I was not only pleased with her bedside manner and thoroughness, but also with that of her nurse and everyone that I encountered at her office. What I was most impressed with, is that Dr. Tellez was not running behind (uncommon for most doctors) and I was seen immediately. As a new patient, I was very impressed and will definitely recommend Dr. Tellez to family and friends!

Dr. Tellez is one of the most caring professionals I have encountered. She takes the time to make you understand. She is very compassionate - truly a warm doctor. I will somewhat saddened when I no longer will have to make appointments with her but at the same glad because I know the course of treatment we choose together has worked and I will be cancer free for 5+ years.
