I think that they're doing a great job and they do keep me informed. I am very satisfied with my provider.

I was pleased with the entire experience. This was my first visit; switching kidney specialist due to leaving Overlake and putting my care in the hands of Swedish. First visits can be awkward, but this was not the case. Dr. Tekeste is personable, knowledgeable, an active listener, asks really good questions, demonstrates a thorough knowledge of how to help someone with one kidney, and speaks to the level of understanding demonstrated by his patient. I really liked him and more importantly as I continue to age (69 presently) I feel confident he will manage my kidney care to my best interest. I would say he is a keeper. Oh, nice man too, my husband and I both thought so.

Even though he's a specialist in one field he seems to know the most about me, always taking into consideration my other health issues . I trust his judgment and value his advice the most.
