      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!!!
