A compassionate and very knowledgeable doctor; she answered all my questions and clearly explained the type of surgery required and what to expect afterwards. She gave me time to decide, and I appreciated that. Thank you.
Totally amazing
Excellent experience and services great. Thank you Dr. Toombs for your talent.
It’s not often you find a doctor who truly makes you feel heard, but that’s exactly what Dr. Toombs did for me. So many doctors seem rushed, but she took the time to sit with me, listen to all of my concerns, and answer every question without making me feel like I was being hurried along. She’s performing my surgery in a week and I felt confident that i’m in the best hands. Her compassion, patience, and professionalism made a stressful experience so much easier. She genuinely cares about her patients, and that kind of empathy is rare. I am incredibly grateful for the excellent care I received so far and would highly recommend Dr. Toombs to anyone looking for a skilled surgeon who truly listens.
