  • Dr. Tobert was very professional and caring, I felt that he understood the pain I am experiencing and wanted to let me know that there is a way to get some relief with the surgery he suggested. He asked if I had seen my X-rays and I said not yet, so he brought them up and pointed out exactly what was happening with my nerves in my lower back L4-5. This was very helpful. My brother was with me and he answered every question he asked as well. Even my PT Specialists said how much they love working with him and his patients after surgery. This made me feel even better hearing such positive words. Loved his professional manner.
