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.

I was very satisfied being under the care of Dr Tothy. He listened to my concerns and explained to me how I would be treated and what to expect. With the kind of experience Dr. Tothy and his staff has , I felt comfortable because I knew I was in good hands. I highly recommend Dr. Tothy

Fantastic Doctor
First time seeing this particular doctor in this practice. My doctor moved away. He was gracious enough to let me see him. He is a very attentive and wise doctor. He takes his time with you. He also answers any questions you may have. I am so glad I chose to continue my care with a great reputable doctor as Peter Tothe, MD.

Dr Tothy is one of the best doctors you can have. He is compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and always makes you feel the best you can. He doesn’t treat you like a number. As busy as his day is he always takes time with each patient and never rushes you. He answers any questions you have and always explains everything so you understand it. Seeing an oncologist is probably one of the worse things a person can deal with but with Dr Tothy and his positive attitude, he makes it much easier. He tells it like it is and doesn’t give you false hope, but you feel better just talking to him. We wouldn’t trade Dr Tothy for anyone, and anyone who has Dr Tothy for their doctor is in great hands and gets the best care possible!!!

My very first appointment, I was feeling overwhelmed and scared and just so very unsure about what was going on. He was so informative and certain. He broke things down to me at a level that anyone could understand. He made me feel comfortable and as if my cancer was not a death sentence. We laughed and the conversation was so casual and comfortable.
