My PCP recommended Dr. Tolchin, and I waited months to get an appt. I really liked him and his two assistants. He's super friendly and has a very nice way about him. He's also funny. The only negative was the long wait in the exam room. I honestly thought they'd forgotten about me. I think it's the longest I ever waited to see any Baptist doctor.
