Dr. Henry Tellez, MD

As sole providers in their practice, Dr. Tellez and Dr. Chintalapudi oversee patient care, which is guided by a detailed assessment and comprehensive management plan. As a rule, Sandhills Neurologists patients do not have to endure excessive wait times for appointments. “We ensure patients wait no longer than a week or two before an appointment,” says Dr. Tellez. The physicians have even formatted their schedules to allow for same-day appointments, when necessary.
Patients also benefit from longer appointment times, which often include in–’depth patient education. “We take more time than average with our patients; we realize that patients come from long distances to seek our expertise and have a lot of unanswered questions. We also recognize that patient education is one of the key factors to improving compliance and outcomes,” says Dr. Chintalapudi. Dedication to quick access and personal care is extended to referring physicians, as well. Dr. Chintalapudi and Tellez …make themselves accessible for physician consults, offer same–day patient appointments and deliver test results and evaluations within 24 hours (48 hours for sleep studies).
Sandhills Neurology is licensed to provide CPAP and supplies for many of their sleep apnea patients. They are also one of only 2 practices accredited in nerve conduction in North Carolina. They are accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Each office offers fully functional, state-of-the-art sleep lab centers, nerve conduction study/electromyography labs and testing facilities. Their first accredited Sandhills Sleep Disorders Center opened in 2009 in the Pinehurst location. Since then, they added sleep centers at their Fuquay-Varina and Sanford offices.
Dr. Tellez was born in Detroit, MI and raised in Colombia. He obtained his medical degree from Valley University, Colombia. He then completed his internship and neurology residency at Saint Louis University, Missouri. This was followed by a fellowship in Nerve Conduction Studies (NCV/EMG) & Neuromuscular Diseases at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He is currently board certified in general neurology, neuromuscular medicine and vascular neurology by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Dr. Tellez is also certified by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties (UCNS) in the fields of neuroimaging (MRI/CT) and headache medicine. Currently, he is active in his private practice.
Dr. Tellez is one of the first physicians to acquire board certification in neuromuscular medicine. “I find nerve and muscular conditions to be very interesting and particularly enjoy the testing process using nerve conduction studies and electromyography in making the diagnosis,” says Dr. Tellez. His neuroimaging services include reading brain/spine magnetic resonance and computed tomography scans, in addition to nerve conduction studies and electromyography (NCS/EMG).
Dr. Tellez is also fluent in Spanish.
