    I felt like I was imposing on the Dr and he had somewhere else to be. I specifically asked the Dr to show or tell me just where My TAA was and felt ignored....

    I wish to speak to George Tolis, the doctor, the guy who really watches my case instead of a PA, if that's possible. So I would like to talk to George Tolis. He's the main guy that I have a lot of confidence in. They know him, that's all. That's it.

    My primary care doctor told me to go to Dr. Tolis because he most likely would solve the medical problem, since he had worked on me previously. Since I had the CT scan before visiting Dr. Tolis, he knew immediately about the problem. The treatment was quick too.

    Yes, I was deeply appreciated with the doctor. He seemed like he let me ask questions, and it was the second opinion. And to me, it was like my first doctor and the second doctor were on page. And it helped me, even though I know I have to have surgery in the future. They basically were saying the same thing, and they gave me time to ask questions and concerns. And I appreciate that because it's pretty scary. So I appreciate that with everything. Thank you.
