This was my first visit with Dr Tepera after my previous Specialist left the Provider Organization. The reviews were positive, but you're never completely sure what to expect on a first meeting. But I could not have been more pleased with the interaction with the Dr. And his nursing assistant for the pre-consult checks. He made me very comfortable with his manner, very easy to talk to and referenced my previous medical history and reviewed my current tests in relation to that. I was extremely pleased to have selected Dr Tepera and would not hesitate to recommend to refer to my friends (one of whom I already have!)
