I am sad to say that my experience multiple times with Dr. Teasdale's receptionist was so negative that I felt the need to give feedback somehow. There is absolutely no need to be so rude when a patient is calling with simple medical questions. You are a professional. If you are too stressed out to answer questions politely or have a little patience than you need to be in a line of work that doesn't involve customer service. I hope that he can hire someone more appropriate to that position.

Love Dr. Teasdale. He really cares and takes time with his patients. His lovely assistants were very nice and went above and beyond to help me get situated with much needed home health care. One of the best Doctors I have ever been to.

Dr. Teasdale did my hip replacement last year and he is the greatest Dr.!! I only spent one night in hospital and was home walking with crutchs the next day! I was totally pain free after surgery and have fully resumed my active lifestyle. I was unable to walk before my surgery. I can assure you the negative review I read has to be a disgruntled nurse or competitor, not a patient. Everyone loves Dr. Teasdale for his skills, bedside manner and level of concern he extends to his patients. I checked him out thoroughly and I assure you he is well respected by his peers and patients, I found him in the U.S. News and World report list of top Doctors in the country. The best!!!! Thank you Dr, Teasdale!!!!

Love Dr Teasdale, fixed both my shoulders. The only complaint I have is waiting to get seen even with an appointment is longer than I feel it should be. Great professionalism and bed side manner and feel confident in his abilities.

A visitor from Hawaii, I had an accident while hiking in Mill Valley, and friends took me to the ER at Marin General Hospital and was fortunate to be referred to and treated by Dr. Teasdale. Very much a professional surgeon, with a comfortable bedside manner. San Francisco and Marin are fortunate to have Dr. Teasdale's presence as a practicing physician and surgeon.

This doctor did not even look at my xrays taken in emergency. Chided me for rating my injury pain as an "8" & told me I didnt need a foot cast or boot. Never returned my telephone calls when I phoned that the pain was getting worse. So I went to another doctor and after an MRI, my new doctor found 7 broken foot bones and broken ankle! He is more interested in other subjects but being a doc. Not serious about you or your injury. Who has time for that!!!
