Dr. Te and his staff demonstrate their earnestness to provide excellent service.
July 24, 2026
DR. TE IS VERY ACCOMMODATING AND FRIENDLY
July 22, 2026
Dr. Te treated me with respect. He listened to me. He answered my questions in a way I understood. The only thing which I think could have been improved was my appointment was about 15, 20 minutes before I saw Dr. Te. That's a minor complaint and very minor. So I don't want that overstated at all. Dr. Te has been my doctor for a long time. I have confidence in him. Frankly, I enjoyed seeing him. Thank you.
July 16, 2026
The last meeting with Dr. Te is very good. He spent enough time and he answered my questions. Yeah, so I'm pleased with the last checkup with him.
July 14, 2026
Best service ever. Excellent service. Amazing doctor and amazing employees. The best of the best. Thank you so much.
July 07, 2026
First off, for the first question, I didn't realize it was going to be one to four, so I hit two, but it should be a four. Yes, I think the usual wait at the doctor's office, the staff, everyone was great. I feel very comfortable going there, and the doctor himself has an excellent bedside manner. So, yes, proper respect, respect is due, and it's definitely due here. Take care.

June 08, 2026
Knowledgeable and patient. Very good Doctor.
June 01, 2026
Dr Francis Te and all his staff were totally professional. I already have recommended my family members to switch Doctors and go with them!
May 27, 2026
Dr. Francis Te is one of the best doctors that I've ever had. I was with Dr. (name removed) and then Dr. (name removed) retired and Dr. Francis Te took over his practice and we're like friends. He knows everything about my illnesses. He explains everything. He knows all about the body and he is just an overall amazing physician and I would recommend him to all of my family and the staff in the office are very courteous and kind and professional.

I want to talk about the phone system for scheduling appointments. I understand it's been changed, and I'm disappointed. I called several times about an appointment and was told to hold for more than 20 minutes, only to be transferred from one representative to another. At some point, I was cut off, then I tried again and again. I surely believe the reps at the doctor's office are not responsible for poor telephone scheduling etiquette. Something needs to be done to improve the situation; it is very concerning.
May 18, 2026
Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
May 13, 2026
They did really well. It's a very good doctor.
May 11, 2026
Dr. Francis Te and his staff were very understanding. They were concerned about my needs. They were very professional. And Dr. Te has been my primary care doctor for over 20 years. And he's the best. He's not in a hurry to see you and to let you come in the office for a minute and end up rushing you out. He was very thorough in his exam. He answered all my questions. I have amylosis and multiple myeloma.
May 06, 2026
Dr. Te, listened to my concerns. His compassion and respect for my health made me feel more comfortable, expressing my health issues. Dr. Te is a great asset to his clinic, Dr. Te is experienced, knowledgeable and very professional, he is a great asset to this clinic. Very hard to find a good doctor, I will definitely recommend to family and friends.
May 05, 2026
The staff and the nursing support was fantastic. And Dr. Te, of course, was just as attentive and helpful as always. Bye.
May 04, 2026
Dr. Te is the best doctor. Many, many years experience. He's very patient. He listens carefully. He doesn't rush. He takes his time. The best of the best. However, the office staff does not pick up their phones. Many comments online. They don't pick up their phones in a timely manner. Sometimes they'll let 20 minutes go by, 30 minutes. Most of the time you just hang up. It says one to make an appointment. You'll be lucky if they ever pick up. But they're very nice and they're very friendly in person. They just don't pick up their phones. Maybe they're overworked. But other than that, Dr. Te , Francis Te , is the best of the best.
April 27, 2026
Staff and doctor were knowledgeable about any questions I asked them.
April 23, 2026
Dr. Francis Te is amazing very knowledgeable, caring and attentive. His front desk staff (two names removed) and the staff in the back are AMAZING too. They all deserve a raise. So give em a raise. Thanks
April 22, 2026
The office visit is great. But calling the office sucks. It takes time for the operator ton pick up for phone and once connected, you are kept waiting for 30 minutes(!) or more which is very unacceptable.
April 17, 2026
Dr. is fantastic, absolutely fantastic. I think I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. His office staff, on the other hand, is not really great. They don't return phone calls to the pharmacy, but Francis is so great as a doctor that you put up with it. That's all. Thank you. Bye-bye.
April 14, 2026
I have been going to Dr. Francis Te for quite some time now and I am very comfortable with him and he is always very responsive to my needs and my medical requests. So I wouldn't change him for anything and I want to continue going to him. I even told him that I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon. Thank you so much.
April 14, 2026
It's always great to be seen by my Doctor.
April 09, 2026
I missed that thing. Dr. Te was very good. I've known him for years and I hadn't seen him in a little while, like maybe about six months. So when I went back to see him again, it was wonderful. Wonderful greeting and definitely good care, time consuming with me, and just a great guy. And I would refer him absolutely to definitely my family members and other people that might need a doctor. Thank you.
March 03, 2026
Dr. Te is a very experienced, knowledgeable, very professional, thorough in all aspects of my treatment. He listens to my concerns and and acts on them with care and compassion.
February 18, 2026
Dr. Francis Te is not only the finest doctor my wife and I have ever had, he's one of the finest people we've ever known. We feel very, very lucky to be in his care and we are grateful to Dr. Te and of course all the staff under him who follow his example. Thanks for your time.
February 10, 2026
Great physician and office staff!
February 03, 2026
Doctor and nurses were patient. They are courteous and professional. I think they take care of my health and they take me as a priority for my wellness and benefits. Thank you.
February 02, 2026
So grateful for the excellent service provided.
February 02, 2026
I have trusted Good Samaritan for almost 78 years. Now known as PIH HEALTH. I trust PIH will my health and continued well being.
January 30, 2026
Dr Te always does a great job of listening, clarifying and help me and my family understand what may be going on and how best to address it. His staff's response is often hit-or-miss. They promise to look into a request and "get back to you" and literally, weeks pass with multiple phone calls and emails and only when you are very, truly assertive do (some) they respond.
January 28, 2026
The provider and staff attended to my needs and explained well about my health conditions and how to manage it.
January 26, 2026
The recording is flipping so that in the beginning those two twos should probably be threes. I felt very comfortable with the staff and the physician and yes, I would recommend them to family and friends.
January 21, 2026
Great experience!
January 19, 2026
Dr. Te is an excellent physician. I will trust him with any health problem I have and I will continue going to him. The office staff and everybody is excellent. Again, he is an excellent doctor.
January 15, 2026
Hi, Dr. Francis Te has been my doctor for many, many years and he has always been very accommodating and very, always explains things to me and I'm very grateful that he is my doctor. Thank you.
January 13, 2026
Everything was fine. Everything is fine.
January 13, 2026
My experience with all of my Drs at PIH is wonderful. They all care about my well being and I have no complaints.
January 13, 2026
I'm very grateful for the physician and service I receive at PIH.
January 08, 2026
The doctor was very thorough He explained my options for the future He went over all the medication and potency and changes we could do In the future A very good doctor
January 07, 2026
I hope waiting time is less than an hour. I hope they can respond to the call in a timely manner.
January 06, 2026
Dr Te explain things were you can understand what he is talking about he really makes you feel comfortable in asking him questions he has a warm demeanor ?
January 05, 2026
Dr. Te is the most understanding doctor it is. He listens to what you have to say. He's understanding. He does all the right questions. You know, he's good quality of care and he's really genuinely concerned about people's well-being. Thank you.
December 19, 2025
Patients wait time in lobby could be reduced
December 18, 2025
Yes, the phone system is what it is. It takes a while to get to talk to somebody instead of a machine. I'd rather talk to a person instead of a machine. So, you know, this is what it is there. Anyway, that's all.
December 18, 2025
I always receive the best care when I visit. Dr. Te takes the time to explain everything and listen to any concerns I may have.
December 17, 2025
Yes, you said this was a short survey. It took me, there were tons of questions. Please, when you say it's short, do it shortly. This was an extremely long survey. Thank you.
December 11, 2025
Dr. Te has always been a great doctor to me, can't ask for better.
December 09, 2025
Dr. Te and his staff were courageous, knowledgeable and helpful. Superior experience!!
December 04, 2025
He's the best doctor that I ever had. He listens to me, he talks to me, he talks like he's a family member, not like a regular doctor. I love the way that he treats me as a patient. He comforts me when I'm really, really sick and I feel safe with him and I love the way that he treats the patients and how he explains the medicine and everything. He's one of the best and the finest that I ever had and believe me, I had a lot of doctors, but he's the best, top of the line. I love to go to his office and he's a very, very human doctor. And thank you very much.
December 02, 2025
Dr. Te, our family doctor, is very capable, knowlegeable, personable and welcoming.
December 02, 2025
Our family doctor, Dr. Francis Te, is very knowledgeable and accommodating. He listens to all our concerns and answers them.
November 28, 2025
I just want to say some additional things about Dr. (initial removed) office. I love their office, but they are very, very slow in responding to the voicemail messages. When you can leave a voicemail message and they say they will return your call within 24 hours, that never happens. And I end up having to call back and try to get through to a person in order to ask a specific question that can't be answered from a prompt.
November 26, 2025
Dr. Te was very professional and attentive to my medical concerns. I left his office with a much better understanding of my symptoms. Thank you Dr. Te !
November 24, 2025
Great listener and explains things thoroughly
November 19, 2025
Dr. Francis Te was very accommodating. He listened very well to my concerns and he was, you know, very prompt in recommending a course of action for my complaint. However, I had a problem with your radiology department because I wasn't able to get the CT scan that I'm supposed to get at the time that I went there. And I still haven't heard from them, even if they promised to call me back so I can set an appointment.
