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.

An Extraordinary Neurosurgeon.
Dr. El Tecle operated on my lumbar spine which had severe stenosis. He used a minimally invasive technique which addressed the stenosis and allowed me a quick recovery. It’s impossible to overstate how fortunate I was to have him and his excellent team operate on me- I can walk without pain and after some PT, I’ll resume an active senior lifestyle. And Dr. Tecle obviously is a highly skilled neurosurgeon; his demeanor quite friendly and is happy to explain and answer questions.

This guy flat out lied to me saying that all my cannels in my cervical are all open when anyone can clearly see the nerves on the left side are being crushed. This is from the Neurologist at the Mayo Clinic. I literally saw the mri and the nerves being crushed and this el tecle flat out lies. No need to lie el tecle, just be honest and tell the truth that you dont care. Your all good surgeons? All good liars like you I dont doubt.

While Dr. El Tecle was not the primary doctor for my son's brain surgery he treated my son with the same time and care as I would imagine his own patients. Dr. El Tecle had excellent beside manner. He was patient, took time to explain everything that was happening, and genuinely cared about my son's wellbeing as well as my feelings as a concerned parent.
