Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I wanted to describe the whole mess that was during the procedure, but here the limit is 1000 characters. The surgeon is not very punctual and inattentive. Did not check all instruments and devices before the procedure. She was looking for something while I had a hose in my anus. BUT, these are all trifles compared to the speed and force with which the hoses dug into my anus five or six times. It was so messy. The most common plumber sticks in a sewer pipe cleaner more neatly and neatly. I have an operation to remove my rectum. I will, of course, look for a more accurate surgeon.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Tolan?
Dr. Tolan was a very personable person to meet with. She did an inguinal hernia surgery (inserted a mess) on me in June of 2019, about 18 months ago. I had problems after the surgery and she was not around. No follow up at all. My problems have continued and I am now going to another surgeon to correct her work. I would not recommend anyone use her. Even though meeting with her seemed very nice she showed no dedication toward following up her work.
