Dr. Toth was awesome. He actually listened to what I had to say and listened to my concerns. He was not impressed with the instruction from another clinic which caused more issues. I would refer him to anyone. He is very kind.

My experience is slightly colored by the fact that I still have some of the pain I was originally seen for and by the fact that I ended up in ER for a side effect of the med prescribed on my first visit 5 days earlier.

Only issue with this visit is that it was follow-up to receive cortisone shot if lab results were good. Was scheduled for Friday so labs would be done. Arrived to discover labs were not done....would have been good to know so I could cancel or postpone visit. As it was, the Dr. actually did nothing during this visit.

I was concerned my age and injury type would deter any health provider from taking time to help fix the problem. Bob was very thorough and attentive. Making sure I understood what to do next.
