Oct-2024
I’ve mostly seen his PA WHO is always very friendly. This is my second time seeing Dr. Toliver. He was very nice and to the point where needed. We hit it off pretty well once he found out I was a musician. It’s always good to talk about things you have in common like interests and hobby’s rather than what you’re really there for (pain management). This was my first time getting shots in my spine, and he explained the procedure and what to expect during and after well.
Oct-2024
Always great service and support.
Oct-2024
Very nice doctor
Oct-2024
Always pleasant., gentile and professional!
Oct-2024
I didn’t feel heard. I felt like he was prepared to turn me away or deny services before I ever spoke a word. He made it clear right away that he had a preference for treatment instead of tailoring my treatment to my personal medical situation. He’s intimidating confident in his 30 years of experience. I would’ve preferred more compassion and understanding.

Incredible. I had been chasing a cure for the pain in my leg, otherwise known as sciatica, and one shot later it disappeared. Life, improving, life-changing, there is more to say.
We are chasing after something new with my low back, and I believe we are going to get there, and I will be staying the same thing about that as the former.
Could not ask for better.
Jun-2024

I did not have the best experience with Dr.Toliver. I arrived to my appt early like they asked and waited for 1 hour 15 min before being seen by doctor.

Dec-2021
Doc Kev actually has a personality unlikely most doctor, who have nothing in common and the ‘little’ stupid common people who are not as brilliant as they think 75(6 are.
The sad part is that most of them are not nearly smart as the think they are.
This comes from a small town, small, farm boy from Minnesota who learned to recognize manure early in life.

I like and trust Dr. Toliver more than any physician I have ever seen....and that is a lot of them because I am 72 years old!! In my eyes, he will always be #1!!

Great doctor, explained the procedure beforehand in great detail. Staff was fantastic. 5 stars!
Feb-2021
Dr. Tolliver is very easy to communicate with. He actually listened to my description of my situation, and he discussed options with me. Most Doctors just “tell you” what your situation is and give their solution as gospel. He gives excellent spinal injections that last. He was also very open about my pain management. I would recommend him highly and am lucky to have him treating me.
Feb-2021
Dr. Toliver was awesome. He performed an outpatient procedure on me and I thought that expresding compassion and showing "bedside manner" was a thing of the past until my visit with him. His staff (especially Dan) are very efficient and professional. They understand the meaning of a sense of urgency in relationship to putting the patient first.
Feb-2021
I have had several successful epidurals with Dr. Toliver over a 15 year span. Thanks to him I can live pain free without surgery.
Jan-2021
Dr. Toliver always takes the time to discuss my health, is extremely knowledgeable, provides feedback and the periodic epidural procedures are a breeze. Plus, he and his staff are conducive to a relaxed atmosphere.
Jan-2021
I love Dr. Toliver and have been getting epidurals in his office for several years. He always tells me to ice daily which will allow me to go longer between injections. He is so friendly and his office staff is efficient. On occasion he runs 15-20 mins late because he spends time with his patients. He is one of the few doctors who actually apologizes for being late. He is worth the wait!
Jan-2021
Perfect!

Dr. Toliver came highly recommended as a pain management specialist by a professional acquaintance and has not disappointed.

Dr. Kevin T. Toliver, M.D. is a fellowship-trained in Pain Management at University of Southern California. He earned his medical degree from University of Southern California, Los Angeles and completed his residency at University of Southern California Medical Center. Dr. Toliver specializes in Interventional Pain Management.
Always outstanding
Dr. Toliver and Dr. Kim Reno are very friendly and they take care of you to the maximum. I highly recommend them to everyone in San Diego who wants a good Orthopedic treatments.
I really liked Dr Toliver. He gave me really good information on my back and why I had pain. He gave me 2 options that he could do to relieve my pain. I really feel optimistic about him helping me function again like a normal person.
He really knows what he is doing and has been helpful to me and relieving my pain. Also, he is very friendly.
I’ve mostly seen his PA WHO is always very friendly. This is my second time seeing Dr. Toliver. He was very nice and to the point where needed. We hit it off pretty well once he found out I was a musician. It’s always good to talk about things you have in common like interests and hobby’s rather than what you’re really there for (pain management). This was my first time getting shots in my spine, and he explained the procedure and what to expect during and after well.
Always great service and support.
Very nice doctor
Always pleasant., gentile and professional!
I didn’t feel heard. I felt like he was prepared to turn me away or deny services before I ever spoke a word. He made it clear right away that he had a preference for treatment instead of tailoring my treatment to my personal medical situation. He’s intimidating confident in his 30 years of experience. I would’ve preferred more compassion and understanding.
Dr. Kimberly was very professional and a good listener.
