Patient Reviews
Apr 26, 2024
Dr. Tesfamicael is wonderful. I had osteoporosis, but under her care it has improved so much it's been reclassified as osteopenia (nearly normal bone density). She is a good listener, familiar with the latest research and treatments, and kind and caring. I highly recommend 'Dr. T.'
