Great Dr. Didn’t wait long staff always polite

Very good staff and Dr Tooze explain my problem very clearly 🙏🙏🙏

Dr. Tooze is the best!

I am reluctant to write this review because of the power differential and the doctor’s social capital. However, I have decided to honor my feelings. I am a 60-something African American female; I had an office visit with Steven Tooze, and this was my experience on 12/6/2022. What I experienced on this and other occasions with Dr. Tooze is consistent with the AAMC studies on pain assessment and treatment: (the University of Virginia and https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/how-we-fail-black-patients-pain). Dr. Tooze listens and extends patience. However, in the final analysis, I felt his actions disregarded my personal experience with pain. In addition, there have been times in which my calls to his office for Prophylactics went unanswered . My dentists filled in those gaps.

Been a patient of Dr. Tooze for a long time . Amazing doctor tell you how it is and how you coming along. Good or Bad .

Great Guy, terrific Dr. Fixed me right up!!

Dr Tooze is a great doctor with a wonderful personality. Always welcomes you with a smile!

Dr. Tooze was great - office staff not so good except check-in personnel. Others have no personality, very robotic. Did not appear to care about the patient - just want to process you through as quickly as possible.

Very patient, friendly and thorough.

Dr. Tooze has been my Orthopedic Dr. for many years. He has always taken excellent care of me and continues to do so. Two weeks ago I had a total knee replacement . I have been in Physical Therapy since the day after surgery. In talking to my Physical Therapist and other knee patients, I have learned that I am way ahead of patients sent there by other surgeons. This speaks volumes for Dr. Tooze, his knowledge and excellent surgical procedures! I recommend him every chance I get. Thank you Dr. Tooze! You are TRULY, THE BEST!
