January 14, 2026 - "Dr. Tessema is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. She was thorough, empathetic, knowledgeable, and straightforward about questions she would discuss with [...] rather than try to answer them immediately. She was great about asking me for input through the exam, and I felt very comfortable with her. I never felt rushed or like I couldn't ask a question. I came into the visit unsure about whether I would transfer care to U of M, and very early on in my visit with Dr. Tessema, it was clear I was in very good hands here. I'm really grateful for her care."
