Time will reveal the status of my femur and if the bone will fuse or go necrotic. In any case, I am confident that Telis will give me his best.

Surgery was amazingly succesful in restoring right arm function. Problems afterward with the sutures not being absorbed well and opening up a long the suture line. Staff was helpful in reassuring me about this (no antibiotics needed) and Dr. Telis and I discussed options for the future.

Dr. Tillis was wonderful. He had my medical records and knew why I had been referred to him . I had been in pain for a long time and when I decided with his guidance that surgery was the best decision, he made it happen. Then he got me into the osteoporosis doctor the day after surgery. He truly was my guardian angel.

This provider performed emergency surgery on my leg to deal with a femur with a multiple fracture. He spoke with my husband and reassured him that all would be well, calming my frantic husband. At the 2-week follow-up appointment he answered questions from me, my husband, and our daughter. His answers were clear, easily understood, and helpful. We do not live in this service area, and he is working to ensure I have proper follow-up care when I am able to return home. To us that was a godsend and an over and above offer.
