Dr. Melissa Salzman Tesher, MD

Very simple instructions: leave my baby ALONE! She is the best doctor ever! My baby should get all 5 stars in my book.

Does NOT follow up or return calls/emails. Very concerning considering Dr Tesher freely writes Rx for "black box" drugs for pediatric patients. When concerned parents call her she is unavailable. Very uncaring considering she deals with babies and children. Sad.

We would definitely recommend Dr. Tesher based on our one visit with her. When she asked what was going on with our daughter I began by saying, "It is kind of a long story.." to which she warmly replied, "Please take your time, my next appt. isn't until 3:30." (Ours was at 2:00!) She listened attentively and was very caring. She did spend a good deal of time with us and clearly communicated what she thought and why. I had a question that I admitted to thinking was one of ignorance but she quickly said it was a good question, not ignorant at all. She was also very sympathetic to what our daughter had been through. We had labs run there at the hospital that afternoon. We were told it would take about a week to get the results. Dr. Tesher called us at home the very next day saying they were ready much sooner then the lab expected and shared all of the results with us. The results were normal so we will not be following up with her, nor was a diagnosis given because the test… results were normal, but we would see her again if another issue were to arise.

i wanted to tell my bad experience with Melissa Tesher and this "WOMAN" Karen B Onel.My daughter was diagnosed with JRA.I left my daughter under their "care"for 2 years,between those years my daughter's hips both joints and heads of the femur were vanishing and they never noticed.They may could do something to help my daughter,but they never paid attention.this woman Karen B Onel never spent enough time checking my daughter.A orthopedic told me the terrible news.when i talked with Karen she tried to lied me telling me that her hips weren't to damaged like the ortho said.THEY WEREN'T DAMAGED,"THEY WERE COMPLETELY VANISHED".I typed all this imformation here because they "worked" together with my daugher.I'm a mother of three kids and i will live with pain in my heart as long as i live because my daughter may could have a treatment to keep her hips and they weren't available to give it..for that i don't recomend them! :(
