Dr Tewfik was personable. Listened to my issues and got busy to resolve the issue. He was thorough and took precautions to order an ultrasound for my hurting, injured leg.

I have seen Dr. Tewfik since he was in residency. We have always had an welcoming, respectful, and open professional relationship. If we were staying in Portland I would stay under his professional treatment.I respect him as a professional and he has respected me as a Legacy Chaplain.

Everything is always excellent.

Every thing went well

Dr Tewfik is that rare medical professional who is both engaging and deeply knowledgeable. I have never visited without learning some valuable piece of information that relates positively to my health. Also, his knowledge of very capable providers within the Legacy system is fantastic. I'm super grateful to have him as my GP.
  Jul 06, 2024
I personally love my doctor in the clinic that I go to and I'm just really grateful to have people that understand my needs. Regardless of my nationality or sex. Overall in my visit I will give them a 10 they are always very good that job is not easy to do so for anybody doing it I give them a plus. Sometimes it's not easy but they manage to handle it very well and I think it's okay at times if people are not their self. We are all humans. So I would give my doctor clinic all of them at 10 which means very good service.
  Jun 20, 2024
Dr Tewfik, his assistant, and staff are all thoughtful, professional and knowledgeable. I greatly appreciate all of their help and supportthanks!
  Jun 12, 2024
Great staff beginning to end
  Jun 11, 2024
I feel completely safe and respected and supported by Dr. Tewfik in any physical or mental health concern.
  Jun 11, 2024
Over all I've always had satisfactory services.
  Jun 07, 2024
Dr. Tewfik is a good communicator. He gave me plenty of time to express my concerns. He made a number of helpful recommendations and referals. Most of my interactions with this provider and staff have been on MyHealth portal, not the telephone. The delay in seeing me in the exam room seemed to be because of a difficult situation with the previous patient and needing more time. The doctor takes the time needed to attend to his patients' needs.
  Jun 07, 2024
Every time I have my annual health exam with blood work I request a vitamin d test and I amALWAYS hassled about it by dr. Tewfik. Saying it's not covered under insurance and I will pay out of pocket and how he will get a call fromSomeone bc he approved it what is the big deal? It's MY health and a test I WANT and will pay for and frankly I'm sick of the harassment. Give me the tests I want and I will pay for it. It's ridiculous to give me a hard time for a Vit D test when I always test low and trying to get it to a healthier place. VIT D levels are crucial to many functions within the body so honor my request. :)

My visits have been positive experiences related to health care and interaction with professionals and staff.

Distance from home is not optimal.

Excellent care and service with dr tewfik as always
  May 18, 2024
Everything was great. However, I would by no means call this a SHORT survey - too long and somewhat repetitious.

Dr Tewfik is one of the best providers in all legacy system, I am lucky to have him as a PCP
  Mar 28, 2024
20 years with this great practitioner. I have 100% confidence in him.

Sad that we have to go through Metal dectors everywhere.
  Mar 14, 2024
Front office staff very helpful with question. Dr showed empathy, and knowledge about area of concern. A very good visit!

I think this office does a very good job. I am pleased with the care they provide.
  Mar 02, 2024
Dr Tewfik love the old school doctor rear breed the best
  Feb 27, 2024
Dr. Tewfik is very thorough and capable, but he moves and talks very quickly. Personally, I like that, but I don't know if I would recommend that for friends or family. Maybe he works more slowly for patients who prefer that, I don't know.
  Feb 18, 2024
Very busy that day. Short on help this day.
  Feb 18, 2024
Dr. Tewfik is truly one of the best providers. I drive quite a long distance to attend appointments with him and am so glad that I do!
  Feb 15, 2024
ALWAYS have all medical needs and concerns thoroughly addressed by an excellent staff. Thank you.
  Feb 13, 2024
Dr. Tewfick is an excellent provider and the team is also excellent.
  Feb 06, 2024
I'm very pleased with this visit as always, because my care provider listened to me.
  Feb 06, 2024
Dr Tewfik is a gem of a Dr. He is old school in that he takes his time and really wants to connect with his patient. I feel like I have the best advocate for my health!
  Jan 31, 2024
I've always had good service with Legacy' staff.No complaints about anything.
  Jan 25, 2024
He explains things really well. But when I brought up an example of what I experienced with my ear crud after not eating sugar for 3 weeks he apparently didn't think at first that it was relevant to the subject and urged me to stay on subject, whIch was diabetes. I explained to him that it was related. My question might have seemed to him a bit random in the overall context of the subject of diabetes.
  Jan 24, 2024
My wife and I can't get a replacement primary care doctor or a geriatric doctor in Legacy since Dr, Seres left the practice back in May and Dr. Root has retired . I wished you would get those positions filled. Thank you.
  Jan 11, 2024
Dr Tewfik is a consummate professional, doesn't rush, listens well, and knows medicine
  Jan 09, 2024
Disappointed to hear that Dr.Tewfik is 40% over his patient care capacity ~ therefore,I still do not have a new primary care physician since Dr. Daniel Urbach's retirement. No referrals are available either!
  Jan 09, 2024
On time, knowledgeable, succinct, professional demeanor, personable, helpful.
  Dec 26, 2023
The doctor was not aware I was there for an annual Medicare wellness check and didn't allow for more time. Why not? Fortunately, he was not too busy that day. Legacy records were not up to date on my vaccination records. Why not? My pharmacist said that's because the doctor's office has not retrieved the information from the national ALERT medical database.
  Dec 19, 2023
He is very good doctor I would recommend him to my family
  Dec 16, 2023
I generally like Dr Tewfik, and my comments and ratings in this survey aren't necessarily representative of my general feelings. But there was a major misunderstanding during this meeting. I was asked to come in for a controlled substances discussion. I had no idea I would be asked to take a drug test, and I was not told what the drug test was screening for. I assumed it was screening for OPIs which I have a prescription for. I was made aware that it was also screening for amphetamines. I don't have a problem with any of these things. However I do use marijuana recreationally from time to time, and did a few weeks ago. I am currently applying for new life insurance, and have intentionally abstained for over 3 weeks, and tested myself recently and was clean at 20 ng in the middle of the day. The test I was asked to do, included screening for marijuana at 19 ng, It was taken first thing in the morning, before I had drunk anything, and I would of absolutely not consented to doing the test if I had known this. I know how sensitive marijuana tests are, and how long it takes to clear the system. I now have a giant red flag on my medical record despite being an incredibly healthy individual, who does not use alcohol, and uses marijuana recreationally occasionally with decent balance. I'm extremely unhappy about this.

Good experience
  Dec 16, 2023
Everyone in the clinic were professional and pleasant.
  Dec 14, 2023
Doctor listened to my concerns and was proactive.
  Dec 12, 2023
Dr. Tewfik is fantastic. My former primary care doctor recently retired. Dr. Tewfik saw me for this appointment acting as a substitute primary care doctor. He had studied my medical record very thoroughly. He was very well prepared to discuss my medical situation with me. I left very Impressed by Dr. Tewfik. I wish I could have him for my new primary care doctor.
  Dec 08, 2023
This was my first visit with Dr. Tewfik. It all went very well except that he seemed rushed.
  Nov 30, 2023
Dr Tewfik has been my primary care doctor for many years and he has always provided the best care. He listens to my concerns, answers my questions in a way that is easily understood, recommends the right treatment for any health issues I've experienced. The reception and nursing staff are always very friendly, professional and courteous.
  Nov 25, 2023
Very Awesome
  Nov 23, 2023
I had not seen this doctor before. I was a patient of Urbach.
  Nov 18, 2023
He said he won't be my provider.He was rushed, impersonal.
  Nov 18, 2023
First time meeting Dr. Tewfik, excellent meeting! Took the the time to talk and listen to me, was very attentive because of my age of 81! I was in good health and wanted to keep that way!!!
  Nov 15, 2023
Facility is terrible. Needs paint. Things are broken. Invest a bit. This is your reflection to patients. The lab used to be good, it is absolute terrible now. What changed?
  Nov 14, 2023
I have been a patient of this clinic for over 20 years. When I knew Dr Seres was leaving I tried to get transferred to another provider. It took me 6 months to get an appointment with someone else. I had to call the office to get my prescriptions filled. And I had a mammogram done in July that no one in your office looked at the results. It was normal but I think I was the only one who looked at the results. Dr Tewfik was fine to see but it would have been nice to have follow up after Dr Seres left
  Nov 14, 2023
The doctor explained what was going on and gave some great options that weren't antibiotics. I liked him a lot
  Nov 11, 2023
Dr. Tewfik is an amazing primary care physician I feel so fortunate to have such a caring, supportive and knowledgeable doctor.
  Nov 07, 2023
Dr. Tewfik was kind and thorough. It was my first visit with him and I felt comfortable and well cared for. My questions were answered and his explanations were easy to understand. I would love to have him as my PCP when he is able to accept new patients.
  Nov 07, 2023
I want to single out the person who took my appointment. She understood that I badly needed to get in and found a way to wedge me in the beginning of a clinic day. I explain my situation to her and she found a way to get me in to see the doctor That was excellent Customerservice. I wish I could remember her name.The M A, that took care of me in the room and gave me my vaccinations was very very good. I explain to her that I sometimes have trouble with injections And she understood and took special care to be quick and as painless as possible and also engaged in the conversation, I was trying to make to keep my mind off of it. Big thumbs up to her.
  Nov 04, 2023
Dr Tewfik was very attentive and adressed all my needs and concerns
  Nov 04, 2023
Called for a blood draw at the Hospital across the street and all of the appointments are filled up for 2 weeks ! Usually a 5 day lead is enough time to get in so the MD has my results in front of him when I have the appointment.
  Oct 31, 2023
Dr Tewfik and his staff are very professional, compassionate and caring.
  Oct 27, 2023
Agreed to combine appointments with my wife and me together. Thoroughly considered each of our medical and related conditions and concerns. Provided vaccinations each of us requested during our visit. Recommended and authorized additional testing for us to schedule. Allowed all the time as we needed for all of this service.
