IT WAS VERY OBVIOUS TO MY HUSBAND AND I AT OUR INITIAL MEETING WITH DR TOMAN, THAT HE WAS A VERY WELL EDUCATED AND LEARNED DOCTOR….HE EXUDED AN ALMOST UNCANNY DIAGNOSIS OF MY PROBLEM AFTER ONLY A SHORT INTERVIEW, EXAMINATION OF THE MRI I BROUGHT WITH ME, AND HIS OWN PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF MY ARM AND SHOULDER..HE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME IN SHORT ORDER, JUST HOW BAD MY CONDITION WAS, AND HOW HE PROPOSED TO REMEDY THE SITUATION..PRIOR TO THE SURGERY HE FULLY EXPLAINED EXACTLY WHAT WOULD BE DONE, THE PROSPECTS AND TIME TABLE FOR FOLLOW UP PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND THE RESULTS I SHOULD EXPECT IF ALL WENT WELL..HE ALSO EXPLAINED THE POSSIBILITIES OF A LESS THAN PERFECT RESULT SCENARIO….THE OPERATION WAS COMPLETED, MY PHYSICAL THERAPY HAS BEEN ALMOST COMPLETED, AND I AM COMPLETELY SATISFIED…..I KNOW FURTHER PERSONAL FOLLOW UP AND STRENGTHENING PRODURES WILL BE NEEDED FOR SOME TIME…I WOULD ENTHUSIASTICALLY REFER DR TOMAN TO ANYONE ELSE WHO I COME INTO CONTACT WITH WHO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM I HAD….ONE FINAL NOTE..HIS BEDSIDE MANNER WAS ALSO VERY GOOD…HIS USE OF THE WORDS OF “DR CHUCK” REFERRING TO HIMSELF FOR HIS PATIENTS WAS A GOOD ICEBREAKER..PAULA CORTE..
