Michael M. Tekeste, MD

Even though I see this doctor for a specific condition, he is the one whom I trust the most to see me as a whole person and consider/know all my issues when treating me. I continue to learn from him how to be more proactive to take care of my body myself. Would that more docs would treat patients as whole individuals instead of as cookie cutter entities that must fit into pre-determined norms according to statistical averages.

Dr Tekeste is always thorough, helpful and interested re any new issues, at each appointment.

All good, my medical needs was taken care of.

Greatly satisfied. Thank you.

Always seems knowledgeable about my condition

Good !

It's all good

I have found that Dr. Tekeste is very focused on his discussions with regarding any concerns I have related to my current condition or how other issues I'm facing connect to my concerns. He gives me a full picture of my issues and how to stay healthy while I address any issues. He shares information in a way that I completely understand enabling me to take better care of myself. This is greatly appreciated.

My recent visit was very informative & brought me a piece of mind regarding my health.

Dr. TEKESTE always seems to genuinely care about what is going on with my health.

They are very good

He is a good provider, he explained everything slowly to make me understands , he always listens when I asked questions and he answers right away, he helped out his for keeping his patient on the same track, things that are no longer good avoid for my health. As of me I really liked him.

I always enjoy when I go and see Dr. Tekeste, I see him for my Kidneys! He always is very professional and answers all my questions! He explains it in a way that helps me understand my kidneys and ways that I can help them so they won't get worst! Dr. Tekeste helps me understand how important the food I eat and that it's improved eat healthy food instead of junk food and to exercise, drink lots of water. That these couple of things can help not only my kidneys but help my whole body! He is very easy to talk to!

Good experience but not necessary.

Dr. Tekeste is the best. I feel very comfortable asking questions,'he listens and gives good advice that I can follow.

No bad experience.

I really appreciate how they treat us as patient. Thank you

Does a good job

Very empathetic, courteous, efficient, attentive, articulate, supportive

This provider is a specialist who is treating a permanent disease. He is extraordinary for being able to listen and explain clearly. He also listens and takes action if there is a new concern. I am almost 82 yrs. I rarely have been treated by a physician who gives his patients such attention. In recent years I have lost several specialists and primary care physicians to retirement or leaving Swedish. For some time he was the only one monitoring labs and seeing me. My health definitely would have deteriorated were it not for him.

No complaints

Very good at all time!

Excellent

He and the staff were very caring. Thank you

It was OK thanks

Very engaged with me , my overall health and what to do going forward.

Dr. Tekeste is an excellent physician. He is knowledgeable, caring, abd take the time to get to know me. I trust him and appreciate having him on my medical team.

Very Satisfied

The doctor is a specialist and he explains everything about my health.The receptionist was very kind and took care of me promptly.

Great :)

The Dr. Is obviously knowledgeable, but did not listen carefully to what I was relaying. Im not a common lay person, I have medical experience, but even someone who they think doesn't have the same experience should be listened to.

Such a great visit. The doctor took a comfortable amount of time with me and provided some really helpful information. Great visit!

Good

I feel that I get excellent care from Dr Tekeste and am very happy to have him for my physician.

He is a good listener. And explains easily way

Dr Tekeste has a relaxed, self assured manner that puts me at ease. He does not speak from a script or in prepackaged phrases, which helps gain my trust. He also listens well and allows me to finish a thought, which sometimes I am not able to do because a too-rushed provider will be looking for pauses in my speech to talk themselves, but Dr Tekeste was a good "sounding board" as I kind of put the pieces together out loud, regarding the next steps I need to take better care of my kidneys.

Always willing to listen and make suggestions

He was very kind and helpful with what's going on with me explaining it where I understand and I like him

Dr Tekeste is amazing! He listens, gives clear advice, respectful of you and your situation. He is very easy to talk to and seems to really care about you and your health. I highly recommend him to anyone having kidney issues.

I felt welcomed and helpful by the doctor

I had a very pleasant experience, with no complaints
