Bob is the very best. He's a wonderful and caring provider. He had to reschedule my appointment because he was off to help the people in Washington. I was happy to reschedule and was thrilled when his team got me in earlier than my original appointment. Anyone that gives of their time to help others is a hero in my book!

Provider discussed knee anatomy and possible causes, but didn't really seem to recommend any treatment options and said I should follow up in a few weeks if it was continuing to hurt (a little frustrating since I had already waited several weeks before deciding the problem was serious enough to warrant a visit)

I never feel bad during or after my appointments with Mr Toth. He's friendly and provides explanations that are easy to understand. He went over what options I had for different treatments and suggested going with the most minimally invasive first.I didn't feel like I was being lectured but having a food conversation and was asked for my input.
