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 Toca Cared for me like I was a family member
I like that this office is different from corporate medicine. I don't feel like just a number . I felt like the office staff and the doctor care about me and want me to do better. Dr Toca seemed to be pushing CAringHEALTH rather than just pushing pills

He saved my life
I went to Dr Toca for a second opinion after seeing another cardiologist with severe symptoms. Dr Toca listened to me carefully, ran test and made the diagnosis. He figured out that one of the medicines the other cardiologist prescribed had reduced my thryroid function and effected my liver. Dr Toca changed this medicine and I feel like a new person. He also went beyond just medications and helped me improve my sleep and make an exercise plan.

EXCELLENT Cardiologist. I have Congestive Heart Failure. I respect Dr. Toca because he did all he could to treat it with medication. I wore a Life Vest for about 9 months. He finally decided to implant a ICD. The surgery was very easy to deal with. Recently my monitor recorded a high heart rate. His office called me immediately and had me come in. 2 weeks ago my ICD shocked me. Heart beat was 255 per minute. He had me admitted for 3 days and changed my meds. Thank God for Dr Toca.

My father was a patient. He died of a heart attack in 2015. At the time he had swelling in one leg which was ignored. To Illustrate the incompetence of this I'd like to share this story. I have been having trouble catching my breath lately. I called my primary care office to make an appointment. They put a nurse on phone in minutes. One of the first questions she asked was do you have any swelling in your legs? My doctor asked within minutes in office. PCP asked cardiologist didn't.

Dr Toca performed ablation surgery on me at Atlanta Medical Center and literally saved my life twice while I was admitted there because of a nurse's inexperience. His surgery was a complete success. He is a caring and talented surgeon.

Dr. Tocca is one of the best doctors I have seen. He took the time to listen to symptoms. He actually solved my problem by stopping a medicine rather than adding medicines

My dad and I were patients of Toca. My dad had a heart attack at home in August and died. I was by his side as it happened and had to watch as he suffered. I am haunted by this everyday. My dad had been to see Toca in March. I have since learned that swelling may be a sign of heart problems. My dad's lower right leg had been swollen for a long time before he died. Toca did not check to find the swelling during the visit in March. Keep this in mind before you see him.
