Patient Reviews
Feb 28, 2024
I have had a chronic disease for 30ish years and have seen many different doctors throughout my life. I seek care elsewhere when I feel I need to. That said I’ve been seeing Dr. Telford for a few years and am beyond thrilled with her care! She listens extremely well and considers my opinions and experiences. She stays up on current medications and treatments and always offers relevant updates or developments at my visits. She has an excellent beside manner and always makes sure she takes the time to ask how my family and I are doing. She remembers things about me and asks how they’re going. She is always quick to respond and refilling an rx is quick and a simple portal message away. I don’t ever have to follow up or check on things, it just gets done. Her staff are just as awesome imo. Nurses are super sweet and don’t get me started on her medical assistant-because she’s just the best! Dr. Telford makes life with a chronic disease so much easier. Highly recommend her!
