Dr. Teague is great. His office staff is horrific & no matter how good he is - they are the idiots most have to deal with. They never answer the phones, never call patients with test results, nor do they call for follow up appointments. Adding insult to injury, they are RUDE, HATEFUL & INCOMPETENT. I'm not the first to say this about their staff, I'm sure. Why Dr. Teague tolerates it, I don't know. They are solely responsible for many patients leaving & not coming back. Guess that's a win for them...?

Dr. Teague is a special specialist. Double talk, no you know what I mean if you have had the honor of being his patient. Please do all physicians a favor and go in with a list of questions instead of trying to remember. He is very patient, honest and will tell you the truth.

I have lived in several states throughout my life & I can honestly say that I was extremely lucky when a physician recommended him to me. He always speaks to you & not above you. He always tries to help you understand what his thought process is regarding your medical treatment. He is brilliant, caring, compassionate but I’m sure he can probably be tough if you are not willing to put the work in to achieve a successful outcome. Ultimately, you are always responsible for how you take care of your mind, body & health.

Dr. Teague is wonderful! however, his staff is a 1 star. also most of the time calls go to an answering machine. It is rare a call gets returned. They do not give appointment reminders. Communication is bad with the staff. but Teague is a blessing .

It may take 6 months to get an appointment with him and you may wait and hour after your appointment to see him but he is worth it! Other doctors flatly told me that I was not diabetic. He did accuratly diagnose me as diabetic. He will spend time with you. I have never felt even the slightest bit rushed with him. He is a real top of the line doctor.

Dr. Teague has leveled my hormones for the first time in my life. He truly cares about his patients and their quality of life, and understands how hormones and etc affect your body...unlike most GYNs who just want to write it off as age related. I can't imagine going through menopause without the expert care of Dr. Teague...I would have ended up unemployed if I had listened to my OB/GYN and not found Dr. Teague on my on.
