    Dr Teixeira never seems to be in a hurry, he has time to answer all my questions, he seems like he genuinely wants to solve my problems with the tumor in my wrist. He has a sense of humor, is very down to earth, includes me in decisions - I feel blessed to have someone so comfortable in his skin caring for me - makes a huge difference! Thank you

    Dr. Teixeira and his team saved my leg! Without their care and the time they took to find the best solution for me, I may have been looking at amputation. His bedside manner is exceptional. I know that he truly cares for me as a person.
