Hailu Tegest, MD

I took my husband into Dr. Hailu’s office on a Friday morning and asked for him to be seen and her office without a moment ‘s hesitation said of course! Dr. Hailu saw him and treated his flu symptoms and called back that night to see how he was. She called her nurse Practitioner see where we lived to bring my husband a breathing treatment because he was having such a time breathing in her office. She also told my husband she would call every three hours to see if he was okay. We finally convinced her not too, but that was a mistake on our part because at 7am she called to check on his conditioner because she could wait no longer and it had kept her up all night not knowing if he was okay. She is an amazing Dr. and even on her vacation she is going to Ethiopia to treat children for free. Which means she has a working vacation, but shows you where her heart is. Anyway we love her love her love her.

Can’t actually review the Dr., but I can review her NP, Sue. She’s WORTHLESS! Although you may have signs and symptoms of an illness, she’ll treat you on how your ‘Numbers’, come back from the lab and if you dare mention that you still have symptoms of malaise, she’ll excuse them and tell you that the labs prove your fine, when in fact, you may have an underlying cause…
I mentioned that I’m still feeling really fatigued; however, since my lab values were just over high, she said she didn’t feel like I warranted any modalities to render change.
My Dx for the afternoon… «You probably just need more rest.»

I have been seeing Dr. Hailu as a patient for a few years. I, would not want to see another office. In addition to Dr. Hailu, I have seen Jennie, FNP as well as Sue, FNP and everyone of these people are the absolute nicest and proficient people you would ever want to meet and take care of you. All of these ladies exhibit the standard for compassion, and excellence in medical care. If you are looking for an awsome team of wonderful people to provide medical care for you and your family, this is the place.

A model physician, she sets the bar. In her care you are a human being, not just a patient. She has a «bedside manner» which is I thought was gone. She is personable, charming, knowledgeable, and frank without being offensive. I’ve never had a better primary care doctor, and I’m 50.

Having endured a litany of miserable, money grubbing docs who never listened to me I was skeptical of this Dr. My sister swore by her and essentially said that this Dr. was a saint among us. Of course all that did was fuel my skepticism.
A few months later though I lost my dear Dr. Matson and was awash in a sea of frustration. Before him, all I had was Kaiser. ’nuff said there.
Needing a new Dr. and my sister polishing Dr. Hailu’s halo at every turn I felt compelled to try her.
WoW!!! I didn’t think that Dr’s like her existed anymore! She is every bit as great as my sister claimed. She will not rush you, she listens to what you have to say and treats you as a human being not a walking insurance claim. If you are looking for a caring, kind and genuine Dr. you have just found her! When I was really ill once she even gave me her cell number and told me to call her at home!!!
I hope this helps you decide to go to the last Dr. you will ever need!
Just be sure to see her and NOT Sue!

Dr Tegest Hailu is a goddess. She is intelligent, warm, caring, extremely knowledgeable, articulate, good natured and a wonderful person and physician.
Unlike many physicians, she takes time with you, makes sure everything is asked and answered and understood. She is great to talk to on any level, on any subject.
I am brokenhearted that Dr Hailu has chosen a different path to her healing and caring for others, but I am so happy that I was able to be her patient and to actually have felt that a doctor genuinely cared about my health. I wish her many happy years. XO

Unlike a lot of other doctors, Dr. Hailu is very caring and takes her time with patients, never makes anyone feel rushed like many other doctors do. She even gave me free medication that was very expensive and she knew I couldn’t afford, she really is the best!
