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.

Very happy
My husband had prostate cancer and we found Dr. Tongco be very knowledgeable and forthcoming with his explanation about the procedures and possible outcomes. We were never rushed and he always asked if we had any other questions.

AVOID!!!
Wish I could leave a “no star” ended up in Vanderbilt w my wife. He would not admit he messed up. We have to go to Vanderbilt at least 3 times a year due to his pride and ignorance. Very rude and obnoxious. Pro Bono lol Took an active mom away from her family.

Office not responsive
Dr Tongco provided excellent and clear advice regarding surgery but we were unable to schedule the surgery because his telephone scheduler was unresponsive.
