Dr. Yodit is very patient and friendly. She helped me understand my issue and gave me good instructions for next steps. I have visited her before for a different reason and would come back again.

Dr. Tefera has been treating me for a couple of years. I will be 85 next month. Because of her and the staff, has kept me from surgery and help me to be in great health.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Tefera during my recent visit for knee issues. She was thorough in her examination, took the time to explain my condition and treatment options clearly, and made me feel at ease throughout the process. The staff was friendly and the office environment was welcoming. I highly recommend Dr. Tefera for anyone needing orthopedic doc!

I had two procedures done by Dr. Tefera today. In the past ten years, I’ve experienced 5 other highly successful PRP treatments by another great Dr. at ROSM who wasn’t available today. I found Dr. Tefera to be every bit as professional, kind, communicative and knowledgeable as the standard they’ve set. I can’t recommend her more highly. A very good experience on my way to healing.

Knowledgeable, empathetic, systematic, and clearly more concerned with patient centered care rather than pushing products and treatments that would possibly be costly.
