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.

Excellent doctor
Dr. Tolleson explained everything to me and always takes time with you and answers your questions. He’s a very caring doctor.

Great Doctor
Dr. Tolleson I have seen over the past three years after a triple bypass ten years ago. He is quite simply the best.. Always professional, concerned and acts as if I am the only patient that matters when he is in the room. I have never once felt rushed, talked down to or in any way other than an equal. He wants to know my assessment of how i am doing so he can compare to the test results. He actually listens to what I have to say and factors same in. I am not a Doctor nor do i pretend to know what a medical Doctor does. I do know people however and Dr. Tolleson is a class act, this I know to be true..

Great credentials, highly trained (Duke Cardiologist). immediately sat down to talk to me instead of standing over me. Didn't bring a computer in to room! Listened to me without interrupting while i described my concerns. I ended up needing a new heart valve. He talked to all of my family about procedure as well (i'm not a young man) and make sure they understood and were comfortable with plan. He was able to replace my worn-out aortic valve with a new one without open heart surgery using TAVR, where they take a new valve up through your artery in your leg to your heart and replace the old one without opening your chest! I was out of the hospital the next day!! I could not be more pleased with my care from Dr. Tolleson and his staff at UT Health Tyler. They are AMAZING!

Richard Potter – Nov 11, 2020

Does not explain anything and has no time to spend with patient. During the two visits I had with him he spent less than a total of 5 minutes and when I asked for alternatives to stent insertion, he had nothing to say. That leads me to believe that he only cares about the lucrative procedure of stent placement and not about what the patient wants.

Dr Tolleson was wonderful. Since moving to Tyler I had to establish a new cardiologist and I made the right choice. He was kind and patient while answering questions. He had familiarized himself with my chart from my previous Doctor and we set up a plan for continuing care. He was confident and calming. The staff was amazing. His nurse and medical assistant were kind and very helpful. I absolutely recommend this Doctor
