He does not have the time to check what's happening with you before you see him, to explain what's going on, or to follow up. Not someone to go to if you want consistency and a modicum of attention to your care.

The doctors and the PA are amazing... The girls behind the desk not so much but who cares... they are not caring for me.

Both Dr Elie Fteha and Alber Ftiha are first rate physicians! I have no trouble scheduling appointments and get lab results quickly. Prescriptions as needed too! Office staff is courteous and patient. Wait time is nominal. They are great!

I think the longest wait I've ever had was 40 minutes. He has a busy practice, so I understand. He has always been spot on diagnosing the issue. If it's beyond the scope of his practice, he doesn't hesitate to refer you and the MD's referred to are excellent. A co-worker needed a PCP and I referred her and she was very pleased with her care. She needed to be seen ASAP and they fit her in.

You are impressed with the office and how modern it is when you first walk in. But everything goes down hill after that- from the reception area to the doctor's false reassurances I did not feel at ease. Questions and exam felt hurried and the next thing I know I'm being asked for my copay --- :(

Elie is a very genuine and caring doctor. He listens to everything I have to say and is patient. He makes sure to explain things and answers all questions I have (which sometimes there are many). He is always available for emergencies, which is really important for me. If he is away, he always has another doctor on-call for him. I have been to lots of different Primary Care Physicians but Dr. Elie Fteha is by far my favorite.

The entire encounter beginning to end seemed hurried. Did not feel like I was being listed too either. My problem went away probably more the result of time than of his help.Would NOT recommend.

Dr. Fteha has been my MD for several years. Last year my husband who has PD suffered a stroke. My daughter called Dr. Fteha and a neurologist met us at the hospital. they were in constant contact with each other and the family. We credit the Dr and the staff at Methodist for my husband's recovery.

Have been seen by many doctors (Primary care and specialists ) in my lifetime. I will only say you can find much better than this one.

Felt like he was rushing throughout my visit. He seemed to have an alternative agenda instead of paying attention to my concerns. Would not recommend!
