Interested in patient care, conservative in how to proceed. Even though he is a surgeon, he did not recommend jumping into surgery. And took time to explain my condition in detail and answer my questions.

Dr. El Tecle is such a kind and straightforward doctor. I’ve felt incredibly well cared for as his patient. I imagine my outcomes would have been so much worse with most other neurosurgeons. I owe him my life!
