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.

I would recommend Dr. Toivonen for for any hand or shoulder surgery. He has the best bedside manner. He's detailed oriented and truly cares about all of his patients. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful doctor.

Awesome! Doctor! I've not had much luck with any kinds of surgery, but Dr. Toivonen is 3 for 3 with me! 3 different surgeries, all with Great Results! He listens & takes into consideration your wishes if he feels they are safe. Such as holding off on any surgery as long as it doesn't put you at risk, to try therapy, etc. He's not one of those "Fast with the Knife" doctors. He explains things so you understand and treats you with respect. When surgery is the only logical option, he is the Best!
