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.

Dr. Toby is very through. He has a great sense of humor. When I need a refill on my meds I simply send him a message through My Chart and he takes care of it quickly.

very, very good.
first time seeing Dr tobey, with a referral from Dr Hileman, he came in, took his time, he asked questions, updated stuff, was very thorough, asked me if I had questions, explained stuff, made me feel very at ease, and comfortable, and offered solutions. I would definitely recommend him, was professional, while seeming very friendly, which I liked, and did NOT rush.

Feeling at ease at the doctors office.
Always check with the desk, even if you did the e-checkin. I like Dr. Tobey and his ability to make you feel comfortable. I was an Engineer for my entire professional career. The ability to communicate with and extract information from a person, that maybe a little nervous. We all have lives, and sometimes life will throw a curve ball. Maybe the person has had a difficult week at work. Maybe marital or financial problems. Dr. Tobey has the ability to make a person feel at ease. With that being said, Dr. Peter's was my doctor before I moved here and he also could make you feel at ease. I just think it is a good thing. With all the problems that "man" has created for himself, such as war, it seems nothing has been learned. If you are in my tribe, we don't like the tribe just over the next hill so, grab a rock and a stick. I got to the top of the hill and looked back at my tribe, I looked at the "enemies" tribe. Oh, my god they looked the same as us. Just like the people of Ukraine.

Excellent primary care physician
Dr. Tobey spent considerable time with me during my most recent appointment, addressing all my concerns and answering all my questions. He used his computer system to look up my medical history and took time to ask me about the current status of each of my historical medical issues. I appreciate his thorough approach.

It’s just so hard to make an appointment. Waiting on a nurse to call back is just so incredibly inconvenient. Especially if you’re sick and needing an appointment right away. But also if you’re just trying to arrange your schedule. I have never had this issue with any other medical office. Even other providers at St Francis!!! In my opinion, this practice needs a new manager. A nurse should not be responsible for scheduling appointments. It’s just completely ridiculous. Please hire a receptionist!!!!! I have no issue with the care I received from Dr Tobey and the nurse I had was unbelievably kind and understanding to me which I appreciate greatly.

He is thorough. And he is genuinely concerned about my health and well-being. I speak of him often. He's a great doctor, and a great man.

He gets it
I’ve really appreciated Dr Tobey’s approach of meeting people at their level. He doesn’t come in the room and speak Doctor at you and often tosses in a laughable one liner joke. This approach has allowed me to feel comfortable in trusting him and his recommendations. I feel I can be more open and relaxed, thus taking in the conversation at hand and directly benefiting from being present in that moment.
