I have seen Dr. M Teltzer for a few years now. He is very compassionate, caring, and most important very professional. as a cardiac nurse myself who has practiced cardiovascular for 40 years I could not have asked for a more resouShow morerceful cardiovascular physician . As the years went by the relationship that developed was phenomenal. I found I could ask him anything medically. He also helped me considerably as I retired from the profession. Naturally, I was sadden to hear he also was going to retire! He put me at ease as I faced cardiac issues. Happy Retirement Dr. Teltzer. Wishing you the best and thank you for your knowledge, resources,support, and compassion.
