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.

Very compassionate
Dr. Dews has been my pain management doctor for more than 20 years. She’s done everything possible to help with my back pain over the years, and if one procedure wasn’t helpful she didn’t give up on me. She believes in a comprehensive approach to pain management. She bought me years of relief before I finally needed a spinal fusion. I highly recommend her.

I flew from Florida to Ohio to be with family and visit the Cleveland clinic during my medical nightmare. I ended up seeing Teresa Dews for chronic nonstop pain. She gave me an injection in my tailbone and when it didn’t provide me relief, she told me I needed to go inpatient and get off my meds. Actually, she didn’t have the guts to tell me herself, she had her nurse do it. A few years later I learned I had Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and was suffering from daily SI joint subluxations. I am still on pain meds to this day and they are the only thing allowing me to hold down a full time job. I can’t help but think where I would be if I had listened to her. I would be at my parent’s house bed bound for sure.

Had been a patient of Dr Teresa Dews. I have been disappointed with her lack of interest and attention. An aura of arogance. Almost borders on negligent.

Worst Experience ever with a Dr., and I have never had a bad experience. Don't be fooled by her long credential list. She does not care about the patients well being, only about her pre conceived notions of what is right for a patient withought having any of the necessary facts and medical information. DO NOT RECOMMEND
