This was the best appointment I have ever had. Cristina Tellechea was beyond patient and understanding. Grateful to have had a long over due physical with her!
November 19, 2018Vanessa E.Verified patient
I didn't find Dr. Tellechea helpful during my visit. I came in with booked appointment for annual check up. The medical assistant asked if I wanted to discuss any concerns which I did. Then it got changed to a problem visit which I'll probably end up receiving a bill for. During the visit, she wasn't patient and didn't make me feel welcomed as a new patient. I was trying to establish a relationship with a new doctor in this area that wasn't achieved at all.

Dr. Tellechea was very personable, she listened and was very insightful. I felt very comfortable with her and glad that I chose her to be my PCP.
More than 1 year agoCheryl N.Verified patient
As someone who doesn't really like doctor's or hospitals due to bad experiences, I can honestly say that Dr. Tellechea really is the exception! She listened to my issues without judgment, and really worked with me to find an answer. She was courteous and polite and really just a great Doctor! Couldn't be happier with her as my PCP!
More than 1 year agoChelsea K.Verified patient
I had the best experience here, the staff was so pleasant and I felt so comfortable discussing my personal issues with Dr. Cristina. I would recommend her to everyone I know looking for a PCP.
