I had been a patient of Doctor Tooze for a number of years and had always found him to have the BEST “bedside manner.” He was always so caring and friendly. He will be greatly missed!!!
Dr. Tooze is a skilled surgeon. He is always pleasant during my appointments.
Just found out today Dr Tooze is retiring. Truly going to miss him dearly. He is the best. Wish him well & now it's time to relax & enjoy family & life. Gonna miss him!!!
Sorry to hear he’s retiring. He was the best doctor the only doctor I had graduations to him best wishes on his retirement.
He has been my orthopedic doctor since I was 17years old. Today was my last appointment with him as he is retiring. He is the best doctor and I’m really going to miss him.
Sorry you are retiring. You saved my life more than once and you'll always be my favorite doctor!
Always excellent service
Always professional yet kind. Dr. Tooze never rushes patients out. He cares My family has been patients of Dr. Tooze for over 30 years. Couldn’t have asked for a better ortho surgeon…broken fingers, dislocated shoulder, 5 knee surgeries and saving my husband’s life from a bone infection. Dr. Tooze will be missed.
He's the best doctor ever I'm going to miss him when we tires and I know everybody else will too enjoy your retirement
Dr Tooze provides the best orthopedic treatment. He performed successful replacement on both hips one in 2018 and 2019. His follow up care has been amazing. This 77 yr old has no problems and grateful every day for his expertise. God bless Dr Steven Tooze.
