Dr. Telfer has a rare mix of people and medical skills.
I have never met a doctor with such excellent communication skills and compassion. Dr. Telfer makes it a priority to carefully listen to me, answer all my questions (even when the appointment is running long), and tailors his treatment plan to my lifestyle. He works hard to ensure I understand my condition and am comfortable with the treatment plan. (As a result, I my wait in the waiting room may be longer than desired, but the trade off is that Dr. Telfer will spend a fair share of time answering all my questions once my office visit begins.)
He makes good use of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF), online patient messaging system to answer follow-up questions, sometimes even saving me from seeing him in person for an office visit.
He will refer you out to a specialist and consult with his colleagues within the PAMF, as necessary.
I have only good things to say about Dr. Telfer. read more
