Take heed of this practice everyone who love their precious children. Dr Tega made a diagnosis of strep for my very young loved one, the pharmacy info was given to him to send the needed prescription and it was never sent to pharmacy. Called office spoke to one of the many revolving door staff members to ask what the issue was in sending the prescription and was told she would check with Dr after he comes out patient's room. After another hour wait, still no prescription at pharmacy. Another phone call to Dr Tega's office now with answering service message taker stating someone would give a call back. NO CALL BACK....I then went back out to practice and the doors were locked, they were closed. This was on a Friday around 3pm and online and phone recording advertise hours M-F 830a-530p Extremely unacceptable and unprofessional and no regard for the sick especially babies with no voice. Help yourselves and loved ones!!!!!!!

Too many great things to say about Dr Tega! He is not only wonderful with my small girls but very patient and understanding whether it be a well check up with my screaming toddler or a hundred questions from me regarding a bug bite. He always has a smile and his face and I know my angels are in great hands!

I think Dr. Tega is a caring, fun and patient doctor. Unlike some others he actually sees what is wrong and does not just subscribe some medication. He is the best doctor my children has ever had. I am thankful to God for him!

Dr. Tega is so caring and knowledgeable. My kids love him. He always takes the time to explain what is going on and he is never in a hurry. He always answers all of my questions. He will call after a visit to find out how my kids are doing and offer additional advice.
