Dr. Tobin was running 35 minutes behind (not his fault Im sure), but waiting was not the issue for me. He did explain my condition , however treatment options were a blur, as he had to hurry out before I could collect my thoughts. Fortunately, the follow up nurse Beth (Thank you , your input made a big difference in my overall decision for tx ) who followed up with surgery scheduling was able to answer the few remaining questions I had before I left the office. Overall a positive experience in today’s overwhelmed and rushed Medical system. I strongly suggest as a patient you research your issues , before the consultation. This way you can optimize the consult exacting specific questions for different procedures. read less - WR - 8/03/2022
