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.

Definitely would
The calm reassuring bedside manner he gave us. This gave me a relaxed demeanor meeting the Dr that put my ankle back together and will get me to walking again. He was very upfront about the time that will be involved with my healing process

Arthritis flare up
This was my third time seeing Dr. Telehowski, he has such a wonderful, calming, bedside manner. He removed fluid from my swollen knee. Explained what he was doing as he was performing the procedure, Which I like, because it keeps me calmer. My knee felt better instantly. I am so happy my doctor referred me to him….

Excellent visit in every way.
From being greeted at check-in to Xray, exam room and check out, EVERY person I met was friendly, efficient, and a pleasure to deal with. My questions and concerns were dealt with in a compassionate way, and I felt like I was seen as a person, not just a number. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Telehowski and his staff.

Knee Pain
I went to see Dr Telehowski for pain in my knee. He listened to what I was saying and explained things so you could understand what he was saying. I have seen him twice now and would recommend him to others with knee pain.

Dr. Telehowski was very thoughtful & thorough.
My Dr. called to get me seen ASAP. I was seen in 3 days by Dr. Telehowski. Thank goodness. My knee has been killing me since late June. A crazy series of events had prevented me from seeing an Orthopedic . Dr. Telehowski explained what the problem was..& addressed it on the spot. If something else shows up in the MRI, he’ll contact me immediately. If my pain & swelling do not subside in a couple weeks, I am to call him & come in for another shot of Cortisone. I’m so glad I saw him. He answered all my questions, & eased my worries. He was awesome… I’d HIGHLY Recommend him.
