I feel like if I had not come to see Dr. Tolle, I would have still had not clarity of what is really going on with me. I appreciate Dr. Tolle for breaking down the results of my testing, and previous blood test that were taken. If I lived closer I would have him as my doctor. I thank God for his 2nd opinion!

Dr. Tolle is the best of the five docs I have at the Clinic. He understands my need to participate in discussions and decisions about my healthcare. I am particularly sensitive to this due to a med mal situation I had in Illinois several decades ago. I suffer the consequences of that situation (unnescessary full course of radiation) today and will do so until I die. I'm so sorry I went to Mayo for a second opinion on the second treatment they recommended and not the first.
