Dr Tenforde was amazing and one of the best physicians I have ever encountered. He was kind, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the issues I presented to him.

Truly one of the best providers I have ever seen in my lifetime. He was kind, listened, gave evidence-based explanations to qualify the treatment. He was thoughtful, I didn't feel rushed, made me feel heard. I don't often feel comfortable with male doctors, yet he was wonderful. 10/10 would recommend.
A listening, caring physician that handled a problem towards the edge of his specialty, helped me out, and will refer me to a specialist if the problem continues.
I thought the two doctors I interacted with were great! They were pleasant to interact with and seemed very knowledgeable and experienced. They explained their recommendations clearly.
Dr. Tenforde and his residents were super helpful, listened very carefully to me and responded to my needs and explained things clearly.
Finally, someone actually heard me.
Dr. Tenforde was fantastic and absolutely worth the (long) wait from a scheduling perspective
