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.

Best doctor in Vero!

One of the BEST!
New office and staff are terrific, I can’t give as many stars as I want. I have a somewhat complicated medical history and at least one somewhat rare condition. Previous doctors were not able to properly keep me healthy as possible. Until I found this one! Dr Tonner is a very conscientious, thorough and kind doctor. That’s difficult to find at times. She’s truly interested in you and your health. In fact, I owe her my life by her being insistent I have a mammogram even though that’s not her area of medicine. So glad I found her and highly recommend her.

We’ve been patients off Dr Tonner for many years and have complete faith in her ability to monitor our health. She is caring and listens to our concerns, always advising us on the best approach to resolve issues.

Cannot get an appointment for a whole month for my Mom who was hospitalized and just being released from nursing care. Front office did not seem to care...my mother has been a patient of Dr Tonner for MANY years......this is not acceptable.

I have been seeing Dr. Tonner for 5 years and find her to be one of the best doctors I have ever gone to. She asks the right questions for my condition and pays attention to my answers.

First visit. From the first phone call to schedule appointment to the completion of payment all went flawless. I was impressed with every staff member as well as other patients that crossed my path. All were kind, respectful, friendly, and conscientiousness. Professionalism, experience, & humanity.; I hit the trifecta in a world where these qualities seem more and more elusive.

FIND ANOTHER PRACTICE. If you do not pay her as soon as she sends the bill she will kick you out of her practice and leave you for dead basically. I paid a $200 bill after being only two months late and she didnt refill my medication that I have to take everyday for my enitre life. I was one week with out my medicaiton because $200 was worth more important to her than providing me with quality care.

I wanted make an appointment as a new patient with this doctor, but didnt have a chance to get past the rude gatekeeper at the front desk. She seems to be on a power trip deciding who gets in and who does not. Does the Doctor know what is going on at the front desk when she is busy seeing patients? Guess maybe the employee is too busy and does not want the doctor to have any more patients. She was VERY rude, not the slightest bit helpful or courteous to me, as a human being, inquiring about new patient appointments. She basically shut me out. I didn't bother to tell this receptionist that I am a health care provider myself, and if any staff member DARED to treat my patients with such rude disrespect, they would fine themselves in the unemployment line. Guess Im finding a new doctor because Im certainly not dealing with THAT treatment when I go there as a patient. Maybe this is a good doctor, I dont know, but this staff member is blocking the doctor from even getting appointments. Sad.

Do not understand why the receptionist was so rude to me today and hung up on me. I was happy to get my medical records to her. I am in serious situation. Have all my files and bloodwork. Am 59 years old and chose Dr Toner because I heard she is the best. I guess since she hung up on me I will have to choose another dr. Wow. Welcome to our practice. Know mondays are tough but I was nice. Asking for help. Not from this gal
