Dr. Tillem was great, though I made a 10:00am appointment (right when the office opened) and was not seen until 11:30am. Not sure why it took so long to process my information, and multiple people who came in after me were seen before me.
very professionals from step one to the minute i left, very clean very organized office and the assistants, in my case Tanya, very profesional, the doctor very profesional, right to the point, i like that.

Dr Tillem is a consummate professional. We have a history and he is the doctor I go to for my treatments in this specialty. I will continue to see him as the need arises.
Dr. Tillem is fine, but the wait time is ridiculous. My first appointment I waited over 2 hours... Also, just because you book on Zoc Doc doesn't mean you actually have an appointment with them—which is frustrating. You have to keep calling up after 1pm to see if there are cancellations.
The most incompetent and unprofessional office staff on the planet. I would not visit this office under any circumstances. Rude and obnoxious office staff. Stay away. There are many doctors who want your business and value their patients. This is not one of them.
Verified patient
Very sweet and nonjudgmental.

Beautiful, clean, new office. Both Dr. & staff are extremely professional, courteous and accommodating. Dr. is very knowledgeable and thorough. I would highly recommend him to my family & friends.
You could not ask for a better doctor than Dr. Tillem. A really smart guy (so are many doctors), but this guy is really humble and with no posturing about how stupid a patient is.
Verified patient
He was very nice, although I had to wait 45 minutes. He apologized for the wait asap and treated me with respect, asked all the right questions and scheduled a followup within 2 weeks. He also gave samples of a medication for the next 2 weeks until my follow up
