About

I come from a long line of physicians, so it wasn't surprising to my family that I wanted to be a doctor from a very young age. It was during my general surgery training that I realized the breadth of experience plastic surgery offered. I was attracted to the opportunity to take care of patients of any age from head to toe.

Dr Tenzel does an amazing job of explaining all the aspects of the repair and so grateful of how he chooses to bring the best and safest treatment for a patient.

I felt very heard and supported. I was not rushed. All my questions were answered thoroughly and with consideration. This was true of my interaction with the doc as well as his entire staff, from check In to check out! I so appreciate their compassion and care.

I found Dr. Tenzel to be an excellent communicator who took the time to explain my situation and options thoroughly.

Dr. Tenzel is an amazing doctor. From the very first appointment until this appointment he has explained my treatment and exhibited compassion and concern for my well being and outcome of the surgery. I would recommend him highly.

Doctor Tenzel seemed overwhelmed by the extent of my injuries and infection. After initially telling me he would recommend referring me to Wake Forest or Duke because it was beyond his experience, he then proceeded to tell me how essentially hopeless my situation was. He left me depressed and morbid. I have since had more practical recommendation from another reconstructive surgeon and am still waiting for Dr. Tenzel's referral to Duke.
