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.

Dr. Tolle I'm sure saved my life!!! He personally called me at home after he read the the CT scan on the same day it was ordered. He told me to go to the main campus emergency and check myself into the hospital. He had already called ahead so they were expecting me. A main artery was being obstructed and the blood flow was being restricted to my brain. I also had a blood clot or 2. He saved my life.
