This was my first visit with Dr. Tuohy - I switched from a different doctor in the same office. I'M SO GLAD I DID!!!! Dr. Tuohy made me feel comfortable and explained my condition in a way I could totally understand. It isn't easy to get an appointment with her because her calendar fills up quickly - an indication of what a great doctor she is. I'm in good hands with her.

I wish every health provider was as professional, thorough and pleasant as Dr. Touhy. She took as much time as needed to answer questions and explain issues, never even looking at her watch. She had taken it upon herself to do some additional digging into my health records beyond what would normally be available to her. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and reassuring and very down-to-earth. Thank you Dr. Touhy, I have already recommended you to a friend and will continue to recommend you every opportunity I have.

[...] Dr. Tuohy was relaxed, patient and professional. I'm SO impressed!

[...] I was told that my condition had worsened slightly, but the rest of the explanation came with the appointment six weeks later. I assume that had I needed to know more immediately or needed a consultation earlier, I would have been given that information. I'm thankful this doctor listens well; I have some peculiar health concerns (unusual allergies, unusual drug sensitivities, and concern about open heart surgery if I'm not able to use my arms heavily after surgery. I use my arms to transfer. These issues need to be taken into consideration in dealing with my medical care.

This was the first time I met Dr. Tuohy. She was very personal with me and showed me respect in all my questions and concerns. She took time with me and ordered test for future reference and my concerns with heart care.
