    I met Doctor Toogood when I was in the hospital approximately for months ago. I so appreciated his taking the time to explain things and I also appreciated his warmth and friendliness.

    Excellent surgeon, outstanding skill and knowledge. Did a marvelous job piecing together many small fragments in a complicated, highly comminuted fracture, making full recovery highly unlikely. So thankful!!!

    Dr. Toogood is a wonderful doctor - knowledgeable, caring and patient. He listens carefully and answers questions thoroughly. He manages to be both extremely capable, accomplished and well respected while also making himself approachable. You get the feeling that he really cares about his patients and sincerely wants them to have the best possible outcome. I feel fortunate that he was my doctor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone without hesitation.
