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. Tonneau is a superb physician. He always takes the time to really listen to you. His interview and examination are thorough. He is warm and caring in his interaction with his patients.

Dr. Tonneau is my family doctor and has been for a long time. He is a knowledgeable physician, a caring person and a friendly human being. He seems genuinely interested in my well being and is proactive in his approach to my health counseling. I find his advice to be well-reasoned and current. I highly recommend him and his staff.

I have been a nurse and nurse manager for forty years and have worked with countless number of physicians over my career. Dr. Tonneau is a highly competent, caring and compassionate internist. I have been going to him for five years and my typical wait time to be seen is approximately ten minutes. The staff is very professional, compassionate and caring and have always promptly responded to my inquires. The office is immaculate and comfortable.Urgent needs are promptly seen.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. He is the most unresponsive Doctor I have ever worked with. If they tell you "we will call you back", good luck. You will never hear from them, even if you call them to inquire about why you haven't heard from him. He doesn't care about his patients' worries or lives and he is incompetent as a physician.

Dr. Tonneau, has a very limited agenda when it comes to dealing with patients. His primary concerns appear to be blood sugar levels and weight. Both important, of course, but there is more to a person than that. I happened to have spinal and nerve injuries, which he seemed quite disinterested in and referred me to neurological specialties. When I was in severe pain as a result from one of the drugs used to treat my Restless Leg Syndrome-he could not have cared less.
