Michael M. Tekeste, MD

This provider is a specialist who is treating a permanent disease. He is extraordinary for being able to listen and explain clearly. He also listens and takes action if there is a new concern. I am almost 82 yrs. I rarely have been treated by a physician who gives his patients such attention. In recent years I have lost several specialists and primary care physicians to retirement or leaving Swedish. For some time he was the only one monitoring labs and seeing me. My health definitely would have deteriorated were it not for him.

Very empathetic, courteous, efficient, attentive, articulate, supportive

No complaints

Very good at all time!

Excellent

He and the staff were very caring. Thank you

Very engaged with me , my overall health and what to do going forward.

Dr. Tekeste is an excellent physician. He is knowledgeable, caring, abd take the time to get to know me. I trust him and appreciate having him on my medical team.

Very Satisfied

Great :)

The doctor is a specialist and he explains everything about my health.The receptionist was very kind and took care of me promptly.

The Dr. Is obviously knowledgeable, but did not listen carefully to what I was relaying. Im not a common lay person, I have medical experience, but even someone who they think doesn't have the same experience should be listened to.

Such a great visit. The doctor took a comfortable amount of time with me and provided some really helpful information. Great visit!

Good

I feel that I get excellent care from Dr Tekeste and am very happy to have him for my physician.

Dr Tekeste has a relaxed, self assured manner that puts me at ease. He does not speak from a script or in prepackaged phrases, which helps gain my trust. He also listens well and allows me to finish a thought, which sometimes I am not able to do because a too-rushed provider will be looking for pauses in my speech to talk themselves, but Dr Tekeste was a good "sounding board" as I kind of put the pieces together out loud, regarding the next steps I need to take better care of my kidneys.

He is a good listener. And explains easily way

Always willing to listen and make suggestions

He was very kind and helpful with what's going on with me explaining it where I understand and I like him

Dr Tekeste is amazing! He listens, gives clear advice, respectful of you and your situation. He is very easy to talk to and seems to really care about you and your health. I highly recommend him to anyone having kidney issues.

I felt welcomed and helpful by the doctor

I had a very pleasant experience, with no complaints

Dr. Teteske and the office were professional and respectful. I got testing for the issue at hand and he explained things clearly.

Dr T is my Nephrologist. This was my first appt with him. My husband has seen Dr T for a number of years and I go to all of his appts. We've had wonderful treatment from Dr T and his staff.

Such a great and knowledgeable doctor.

Well informed on my illness.

Alway excellent interaction and common sense reply to all my medical concerns with both my primary care doctors.

I LIKE coming to see my doctors at Swedish. The staff, doctors, and doctor 'extenders' are all excellent.

All good.

Dr Tekeste's staff and he himself always gave me excellent care. Dr Tekeste always explains things clearly with empathy. He is kind and you feel you are his focus and has your best interest at heart. I trust him and recommend him highly!!
