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.

Very bad person rude, ignoring, impudent
Girl run! This gynecologist is a the worst doctor ever! he acted like he didn't want to do his job at all or talk or examine. he didn't want to answer questions and these are very important questions about advanced pregnancy unpleasant indelicate tactless nasty. and in general he looks like an idiot he has a stupid face. I don't recommend and I mean very much I've never had an experience with such a terrible person!!!

I’ve been going to this practice forever and when I was first pregnant, I met Dr. Tomlinson. He’s helped me through pregnancy losses and a healthy delivery. He’s always been respectful and answered any kind of crazy question I had. He’s always running on time with appointments and always makes sure he answers all my questions before ending the visit. He’s thorough and to the point.

Dr. Thomlison has been my doctor since I was 16 (now 51)!! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. He takes the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. When I was pregnant he explained that he may not deliver my baby because he might not be on call.. I expressed my disappointment and said if you're not on vacation then I expect you to be there... Guess what!?! He was there and delivered my first and only child.

Extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. Takes time to explain all medical issues so the non medically trained can understand. I highly recommend.

Recently delivered my daughter with Dr Thomlinson at South Nassau and had a WONDERFUL experience! She was my third child and the experience with Dr. Thomlinson was far superior to my other two. He is straight forward, professional, and no nonsense. While he isn’t going to coddle you (which I may have needed more of for my first delivery) he was always calming and informative. His demeanor definitely helped calm my nerves when she came early.

First time I saw and was very impressed. Normally prefer female GYNs but he was thorough and caring and took the time to explain everything to me. Did not rush at all.

Dr. Tomlinson helped me deliver my 10+ pound daughter w/o needing a c-section! He is always calm & straightforward. I continued to see him for my other 2 pregnancies as well. Now that I am done having kids, I continue to see him as my Gynecologist. He is the one who referred me to get a mammo done when I described tenderness in my left breast (I’m 38 w/ family history of breast cancer). It turns out I had a benign mass & ended up having a successful surgery. The office staff is always nice too.

I took my 16 yr old daughter for her first GYN appointment ever... and he was not nice. She was scared and didn't understand too much of what was going on. He failed to explain anything to her and got an attitude if she asked a question. As for myself (the parent) he was very rude and nasty with any questions I had for him. I WILL NOT be coming back nor will I ever recommend this cold hearted excuse for a doctor/human being.

I'd never use him again ever. He treated me horrible in 2008 when I was pregnant with my son, insulting me for my questions. Then he was the on call doc when I had my daughter in 2012 and I had no choice!! because my baby was coming. He was cold and not compassionate at all. I didn't hold my daughter right away like I was promised (she was fine, healthy), when I asked to hold her, he gave me attitude, said the nurses would give her to me after she was clean, I could wait. No bedside manner!
