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.

A Most Thorough and Caring Orthopedic MD
I had the privilege of seeing Dr. Tolo after anther orthopedic declared I needed surgery (with screws & plates) for my displaced elbow fracture. Dr. Tolo performed a thorough exam of my upper extremity along with reviewing my X-rays. He recommended immobilizing my elbow with a splint to allow my body to rebuild and repair the bone on its own. Thanks to Dr. Tolo, I’m on the mend without the surgical intervention!

He is a great orthopedic surgeon. His bedside manner is wonderful. He repaired my rotator cuff and replaced a arthritic knuckle. We are lucky to have him outside of Boston.

Dr. Tolo was absoloutley amazing. I broke my thumb at a lacrosse game and did so in a way that required near immediate surgery. I was kind of worried going in, I didn't know if I would regain the use of my thumb back 100%. Once I sat down and spoke with Dr. Tolo I felt much more comfortable. He had played lacrosse too growing up and broke his thumb In lacrosse as well. He was very experienced and professional. I felt as if I were in the best hands possible going into surgery.

Empathetic, the best thing anyone care ever say about a doctor. I also found his nursing and professional staff to be the same. They don't take chances and will get to the bottom of a problem. You can really trust this doctor. I have had other Orthopedic MD none as good as him. Hand specialty, no one will ever touch my hand except him.
