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 cannot say enough about how well I have been taken care of by Dr.Tillinger. The care and time he took to explain about my condition went above and beyond. I am so grateful that he is my doctor.

Dr. Tillinger and his staff have gone above and beyond for my care. From the staff that greets you to bring you back and reviews your reason of why you are there for your appointment go above and beyond. The detailed work up prior to Dr. Tillinger coming in is reassuring that nothing is being missed. I never feel like a number. My questions are always answered and I receive follow up phone calls about my testing. I enjoy the humor and the ease that Dr.Tillinger has to ease my nerves. Great

He has been very upfront and honest with me. Laid all the information out for me, and spoke to me in terms I could understand to make the right decisions for my health future. He listened to all of my questions and made sure I had full understanding. I have sent my family to see him and have the best respect for his talents. Office staff is always very friendly and smiley!

I like Tillinger v much personally (temperament, counsel, lightness of touch) and trust his clinical judgment. But he doesn't run a tight office; worse, made a crucial typo (or staff did and it was uncaught by him) in a preop report that caused me to needlessly undergo a workup / stress test (and Medicare to pay for) at the operating hospital. A 'less than' for 'greater than'. It was the second time; a colleague of his did the other typo. The office isn't prompt about time-sensitive requests.
