Dr. Harry Gilmer Teaford III, MD

This was one of the most emotionally and medically damaging experiences my wife has ever had with a physician. This appointment went as poorly as possible and ended with Dr. Teaford canceling other doctors' procedures, which had to be reordered when she became very sick. He was arrogant and dismissive of her concerns, and his statements included: - "You've had a lot of tests. I don't think we need any more." - "You don't look sick to me." - "I know what was said in the past, but your other doctor can't be trusted." 1. He showed no functional knowledge of Mast Cell disorders - only the single rarest form without any knowledge of the AAAAI's diagnostic criteria. 2. He ignored our request to oversee an immunomodulator medication - that is life-threatening when uncontrolled. 3. He cancelled an important procedure from another doctor. 4. His department chair supported his atrocious behavior on multiple occasions. Stay away from Dr. Teaford & Mayo Clinic AZ for Immunology!

My experience with him was great--he took an incredible amount of time to study my unique situation and spent all the time I needed to answer my questions. Great communication--a very nice man! I felt listened to and heard, and he went the extra mile to make sure I understood the desensitization process.
