Always very helpful
Very positive experience by each attending professional.
Dr. Tedesco was very thorough in his discussion of my conditions and suggested procedures. Ultimately, though, he left the decisions up to me and supported my choices.
Extremely satisfied with the results of my surgery and level of care provided by Dr.Tedesco.

It was all great
Dr Tedesco is very great to work with. Fast, thorough and thoughtful.
Dr Todesco has been a lifesaver. He's supported me from my first cancer surgery, through my knee replacement and with all the resulting disability and pain. He is highly skilled, patient, knowledgeable, and an excellent patient educator. I am very lucky to be his patient.
Very happy with doctor
Dr Tedesco & staff are the best all of them!
Very good medical care
Very good service - Top of the Line !
Great explanation, discussion, options, and interest in my thoughts. I did not feel rushed. I was given plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
All my questions were answered in full, and in a caring way. There was no rush to finish the appointment, and he made sure I had all the information I needed for the next steps of my treatment.
Dr. Tedesco is great!
My doctor exhibited concerns about my medical condition. He was clear in his explanation and provided suggested treatmentwith my input.
I have referred a friend to Dr. Tedesco.
Dr. Tedesco showed me the MRI and explained in detail what it showed. He drew diagrams and went over possible surgery and ordered a biopsy.
Was on point for explaining options, procedure, healing process.
Dr. Tedesco is a treasure! Appreciate his knowledge and expertise. I've been needing help for a long time! So glad he gave me hope for a resolution. Appreciate the staff as well and Mike the medical student. Thank you!
Emergency surgery (TKA) required due to infection in recent TKA, surgeon's decisions provided a good solution considering the alternatives.
Very thorough in explanations and questions we asked.
Dr. Tedesco is very good at explaining what he believes the problem to be and the choices.
Dr.'s Tedesco, and staff were fantastic! They fit me in on short notice, took care of the problem, educated me and did it all with grace and humor.
Good
Dr. Tedesco was very honest about risks in surgery, and steps I could take to lower those risks. He did not minimize problems and explained using x-rays and recent test results. I felt his advice was evidence-based, and not generic.
Dr Tedesco was very informative he had looked at previous X-rays and scans before he even walked in. I shared my concerns and he explained what he was seeing in images etc. I have had previous complications and with that came trust issues and he was very attentive to that.
Dr. Tedesco is my idea of a "true doctor." He is engaged, informed and inspired! (I drive from Eugene/Springfield because of him!!)
Very good visit/very informing.
Probably the most professional, knowledgeable, and caring doctor I have ever met. Dr. Tedesco is amazing.
Dr Tedesco is a wonderful doctor. I have complete confidence in him.

He is an amazing physician - was in no hurry to leave the exam room - explained everything thoroughly
Dr Tedesco left us feeling confident in his plan for my follow ups and procedures. He was complete in his explanations. Answering all our questions and telling to call if we had further questions or concerns. We greatly appreciate his feelings for his patients and calm, relaxed demeanor.
Everything is explained very well, good experience
Excellent!
Dr. Tedesco took thee time to address all of my concerns and steer me to the next phase of my recovery. I am grateful to have him evaluate my condition in light of his surgical experience and to rule out surgery in my case.
Dr. Tedesco is the best!
To me the whole experience was one of the best in my life. I love em all! Superstars.
Nicolas Tedesco is very knowledgeable.
Dr. Tedesco is professional and personable. His knowledge, listening skills, and respect for patient enabled me to make a difficult and scary decision. He is truthful and informed. I never felt rushed or that I was an annoyance. I could have had surgery closer to home (1.5 hours), but I felt confident with Dr. Tedesco. I have no doubt that he is TRULY committed to quality. OUTSTANDING!!
Dr. Tedesco rocks.
Great teamwork, fun.
This provider spent a lot of time explaining and possible solutions to the problem. Was pleased with the time he took explaining what might be the projected outcomes currently and future.
He talks well to you one on one and in a way you can understand very well.
