I thoroughly enjoyed my initial vist with Dr. Tolle. Due to his schedule and covid precautions on my part, it did take a while to schedule my visit. Well worth the wait. I was very impressed by Dr. Tolle's professionalism and his level of care he showed during my exam. He spent extra time, I felt, answering my questions and explaining my care going forward. He never made me feel as if he was in a hurry to move on. He came highly recommended by another Cleveland Clinic doctor who is a friend of mine and by a friend who works in the pulmonary section. I have already recommended him to many friends.
