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.

Dr Toset A great Doctor
I was diagnosed with very large nodules in my thyroid and my primary doctor send me to Dr Toset. Dr Toset explained my condition to me so I was able to understand what needed to be done. He listens and answers all of the questions you may have. He gives you great comfort and assures you that all will be good. On May 16 I had a total thyroidectomy. Then next day I was up and feeling good. Now less than 2 weeks later I am back to my normal life. Dr Toset did a great job. He is a highly skilled surgeon who is warm and caring. If you need a head or neck surgeon contact Dr Toset. Choosing Dr Toset as your surgeon will be the best decision you will ever make

Such a wonderful doctor
Dr, Toset performed surgery on a facial mass that I had. I was so nervous as I have never had surgery before. He was so caring and patient with me. He even called my mother to let her know how everything went. He took such good care of me. I would definitely recommend him to any and EVERYONE I know.

Explained the procedure very well. Explain the side effects. Zero pain afterwards. He also personally called my wife after the procedure to tell her I was in recovery and everything went well.

Gentle person who spent time totally explaining surgery and treatment for my thyroid cancer. Then offered to tell my son, if I wanted. I wound up having two surgeries and there is barely a scar. Felt fine each time and had fast,easy recovery.

Dr. Toset did the necessary surgery of removing my parathyroid gland which was bigger than what was expected. His knowledge, dexterity, and warm eye contact allowed me to relax before the surgery and all of a sudden, I had faith in him. Of course with surgery, it is still a good thing to wake up from the anesthesia and see/hear your surgeon saying you are going to be fine. There is no guarantee, but with a great doctor, like Dr. Toset, your chance of a successful outcome is possible. TYDT!

Extremely knowledgeable, thorough and patient. Excellent bed-side manner. Answered all of my questions (and I had a lot of them ;-P) with empathy and without making me feel rushed. I felt unbelievably calm and safe under his care.
