Dr. Tekmyster was great! He listened very Intently about my symptoms, took time to go over my past medical history and MRI images, and then thoroughly explained my treatment options. I'm so happy my regular doctor referred me to Dr. Tekmyster.

Dr Tekmyster is exceptional with his knowledge, bedside manner, action plan, and genuine care for my medical concerns.


Jan 23, 2025

What I love most about Dr. Tekmyster is that he outlines the levels of treatment from the beginning. Even though I had an emg several years ago and figured I would not need another, he ordered one, explaining that this is a different emg. He is the BEST at explaining a problem and the solution, even if the solution could eventually be a surgery.

He engaged and listened. I felt like he actually cared what I had to say and was interested in helping me
