Lawrence Nunez Teruel

Dr. Teruel did surgery on my right sinuses on 4-6. On 4-18 I woke with severe pain in my right eye. I saw Dr. Teruel on Mon 4-19 and he sent me to an ophthalmologist on Tues 4-20. He said I should have a CT scan as soon as possible. I went back to Dr. Teruel on Wed 4-21. He seemed unconcerned but said he would order a CT scan. On Fri 4-23 I called Dr. Teruel’s office and his receptionist said “Ok, Ok I’ll call in the order right now”. On Tues 4-27 I had not been contacted about the CT scan. The pain was so bad that I went to the ER at Canyon Vista Medical Center. They did a CT scan and saw the infection in my eye and transported me to Banner University Medical Center in Tucson. I received IV antibiotics for 9 days in the hospital and another 7 days at home. The imaging center Dr. Teruel uses didn’t call to schedule the CT scan until two weeks after I returned home from the hospital! To make matters worse I have to pay $443 out of a monthly income of $1570 since I live on SS.

My son Phoenix Valdez just had his tonsils removed by Dr. Teruel this morning. He treated us like FAMILY! Not just some random patient like almost all drs do. He was thorough and caring and made sure we could get in contact with him for ANY reason at any time! He said he would meet us at the er and he would check and make sure my son was ok. He did an incredible job with the surgery but his heart for our family means the absolute world to me as a mom! I can’t begin to thank him enough!!!!

We scheduled our son Phoenix to get his tonsils and adenoids removed and of course the night before we decided to read the reviews on our doctor and became apprehensive. If you are reading this I can’t express how grateful we were for Dr. Teruel he did an excellent job, and made us feel like family. I know being in Sierra Vista the word around town isn’t all that great about our Hospital, but even our experience with the staff at the hospital was excellent. Great Job Dr. Teruel, office staff and Hospital staff. Thank You, you took great care of our son and family. Bobby Valdez

I went in for sinus surgery and deviated septum. I gave him one star because it was immediate relief for the sinus pressure on my face. However, because of the surgery, my spetum was perforated. He told me not to worry about it since it wasn’t big. Now in 2018, I could not be more miserable. I have constant infections, daily nose crusting (that I must remove because I feel I cannot breathe) anxiety, dryness, I cannot fully breathe in as much air as before.

Dr. Teruel is a kind and takes a interest in his patients. I have been coming to him for 7 years. I know that sometimes he has to take longer with some patients but I have been to other specialist and had to wait 30 minutes just to get in the back room.

Dr. Teruel. One if the worst doctors I’ve ever seen. Went in for pain on ear cartilage when laying on my side at night. His immediate recommendation was surgery. Having spent 5 minutes with me. He didn’t know the cause or reason for pain but said he. Could severe the nerve endings in my outer ear. Needless to say I walked out before he could schedule my surgery. Beware. Perhaps he needed a new. Vehicle.

We showed up about 5 minutes early. We already had our paperwork filled out. The staff made us wait 20 minutes before even getting screened. Dr showed up 10 minutes after that. The screening papers asked us a question, the nurse asked us the same question, and the Doctor asked us the EXACT same question. When we asked the Doctor why we had to repeat the same answer 3+ times, he ranted at us about how it's not his fault and he's just trying to find out what he needs to know about the patient.

Dr. Teruel was great! He took exceptional care of our daughter when she needed surgery. His staff has been extremely helpful!

I waited an hour and a half for a five minute appointment. This doctor is in such a rush, and he doesn't take the time time to listen. He asked me the same question 3 times. I felt like he had no regard for what I had to say. He literally zoomed in and out of the room, and said, just follow up. Complete waste of time! What a quack!

Very friendly but is always in a hurry. Doesn't take enough time with patients. Seems to be very knowledgeable
