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 likely
Dr Tolcher is brilliant. He is very concerned and caring toward his patients. He so much wants to find a cure for cancer sooner rather than later.

I am seeing too many changes that are going on that i do not like. My favorite nurses that left the START Center to follow Dr Tolcher are leaving for other jobs opportunities due to their unhappiness with Dr Tolcher. I left the START Center because of the quality care that I received with Dr Tolcher's staff. Do not like current nurse that takes my blood for labs, every time she works on me i have passed out. Not one time has she preformed a good draw from me, she scares me, I do not want her touching me! Also there's a new nurse that gave me the lupron injection knew nothing about the drug. She did not know that it burns as it is injected, she found out afterwards from me and the nurses at the desk, "Oh Yeah, by the way". She did not know to use the cold spray to numb the area before injecting me either. I also understand Dr Tolcher is under financial distress, and maybe covering too much ground. idk

Excellent! He and his staff are truly caring and compassionate. They are very knowledgeable and I feel comfortable and well cared for by each and every one there. Dr Tolcher is always encouraging, informative, and takes time to answer any questions. His answers and explanations have been such a comfort to me personally. I highly recommend Dr Tolcher. You will be in good hands.
