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.

Hi, Dr. Tomita!My name is Fleurdeliz Licuanan, whom you operated in 1993. I had a benign brain tumor.I just want to sincerely thank you for everything you did for me back then. If I could hug you, I would. My Dad, Florencio, is extremely grateful, as well. My Mom, Elisa, always expressed her gratitude. My parents always talked about how I would be stumbling prior to the surgery, and of the physical therapy afterwards.I’m a teacher now, working with children in an autistic setting- I received my Bachelor of Arts in Combined Elementary and Special Education from Lewis University in Romeoville, IL. I also teach kids martial arts on Wednesdays in Westmont, IL. Again, thank you for everything.Be safe and healthy always!Sincerely,Fleurdeliz

My husband and I met Dr. Tomita shortly after we found out that our son was going to be born with severe hydrocephalus. He operated after our son was born and put in a VP shunt. Dr. Tomita has been excellent to work with.

So many good things to say about Dr. Tomita!! He preformed surgery on my 11yr old son to remove a benign brain tumor. It was such a scary time for us with many uncertainties, but Dr. Tomita was patient with us and answered our questions and put our fears at ease. I would highly recommend Dr. Tomita and the staff at Ann and Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital.

Dr. Tomita performed surgery on our son with open spina bifida at time of birth. Our son is 7 now and walks and runs with his two sisters. He has above normal test scores and has never had a VP shunt. Happy kid. Couldn't have dreamed of a better outcome.
