Dr. Tetzlaff is always great. I have been a patient of riverside for 30 years and am very grateful for the great care I receive. I plan on continuing with Sarah Hill NP after Dr. Tetzlaff retires.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr, Tetzlaff is an exceptional doctor. I have been a patient of his for over 40 years. He is retiring and I honestly can't imagine anyone else being nearly as great as he is. Filling his shoes will be extremely difficult. Good luck Dr. T. I wish you the best!

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Tetzlaff was very helpful, as always, in offering options to address my problem. He is also excellent at returning portal text messages which I greatly appreciate. His nurse, Connie, explained why a mail order prescription request was not received, and I will relay that reason back to their customer service. I also want to give a major shoutout to Brenda(I believe she is the triage nurse) who was so caring and helped me through a very high blood pressure time, being a liaison to Dr. Tetzlaff, promptly returning phone calls and solving a prescription refill issue. Brenda should be commended on the excellent job she is doing in her position.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Tetzlaff is and always has been excellent. The people who work at Riverside are great. My Mich Health is not great. It is terrible compared to what it was as War Memorial. God help you if you have to go to the emergency room.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr. Tezlaf and his staff have always been quick when working with my pharmacy to refill my existing and any new ones that may need. I was recently hospitalized, and Dr. Tezlaf was prompt in scheduling a follow-up upon my release. The entire my Michigan health care system should be a model for the entire country.

Feb 9, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I love Dr Tetzlaff. I am afraid that once he retires in May I won't be able to find a primary care physician. I will have to settle fo a physician assistant or a nurse practioner. I don't understand why there are no general practices in the area.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I LOVE Dr. Tetzlaff. He has been my doctor for probably 30 years. I hate the fact that he is getting ready to retire - even though he deserves to retire - he will be missed by any and all of his patients. It is so difficult to find a good doctor or any doctor lately in this town. He is the BEST!!! He will be missed by this patient. I wish him the best in his next adventure. He deserves it.

Jan 3, 2025
What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
I would highly recommend him. I’m hugely sorry that he is retiring. But he’s already sacrificing retirement time as he fills in until another doctor can be found. I am enormously grateful for that as I am very comfortable talking with him.
