Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent surgeon
Dr Tetrp performed multiple surgeries on me. Excellent mannerism, professional & friendly. Took time to explain MRI & advised what the best option would be for rotator cuff Injury. Definitely recommend him.

They Don’t Care & You won’t see Tetro
All points of contact I have had with this office were disappointing and frustrating. My drive one way was two hours. Staff did not make me feel like I mattered. When they called to make my appt the 1st time they couldn’t figure out my insurance, that continued when I arrived. Tried to charge me for a HDHP and I have a $20 copay. Know your rights. Refuse that xray if you know you just had one. I never saw Dr Tetro, I saw Anish both times, despite booking for Tetro. Anish is standoffish & did not listen to my concerns or even my health history. He sent me back to the same PT who referred me there in the 1st place with a recommended 6 weeks of PT with a follow up after. Ignored me when I said PT made it worse. My PT even said if it’s not helping there is no point. Back at square 1. Out the copays, gas money, & PTO. Extremely unprofessional staff, leaving exam room doors open & being loud in the halls. You likely won’t see Dr Tetro, even if you are asking to see him specifically.

Dr. Tetro has been my surgeon for carpel Tunnel since 2002, his professionalism and ability to get you relief from pain and therapy is one of a kind. I will recommend him without a hesitation.
