Dr. Teo was extremely kind and very much was appreciative of my status as a living kidney donor and was very gracious and comforting when I explained that I was a little anxious about this as having never done it before. He was awesome.

Dr. Teo is amazing! I have been a nurse for 45 years, I'm "Type A" and a perfectionist. Dr. Teo has high standards and we both were on the same page about the upcoming donor surgery. He spent so much time answering my questions. After my questions were answered he asked me if I had any further questions about my daughter who will be a recipient. I could not have found a better surgeon for my upcoming procedure.

Dr Teo took great care to explain things in a manner that made them easier to understand. He displayed a great bedside manner and demonstrated a great understanding of the topic. When we asked questions that were more related to kidney disease, rather than surgery, he got feedback from Dr. [redacted]. It was a great team approach.
