Mar-2023
I recently had a total knee replacement with Dr. Tocks and it was relatively a piece of cake. Yes I had some pain but I was walking in 4 days without a walker or cane. I only did 4 weeks PT because I was meeting all the goals they set. I have been so surprised at how successful this was and as I praised the doctor he said he feels it’s the patients that do the exercises ahead of time that make it so successful. Either way I loved having Dr. Tocks as my surgeon and would recommend him to friends and family, actually to everyone!!
Mar-2023
He is very nice well spoken and understanding. I was blessed meeting him and blessed when I left,
Mar-2023
He’s on top of his game. He gave me a Cortizone shot in my knee after four x-rays were taken. My pain has been relieved Dr. Tocks gave me a new left knee but this time all he had to do was give me a shot in the right knee. The nurses appear to be quite confident as well as the x-ray technician.
