Dr TOUSSAINT was an excellent Dr. He listened and offered good recommendations. He is ordering further tests because he thinks it’s necessary to see what’s going on with my back and balance. So thankful for him!

Dr. Toussaint is "the man"! He thoroughly explained my options to me and my wife, including a thorough list of pros and cons. I have been a patient of his for about 10 years and always walk away from my appointment well informed.

Dr. Toussaint has an extremely professional demeanor . He is genuinely caring about the patient.
Dr. Toussaint took time to address questions. He did a thorough exam. I was relieved to have someone actually hear me and offer help. This has been a 4 year struggle.

Dr. Toussaint & team are the absolute BEST! During what was a very scary time they showed me compassion and helped me feel more confident with the surgery. They were very patient with me and allowed me to ask all the questions. I would highly recommend them both to anyone who needs a neurosurgeon. I can't sing their accolades enough! So so good!

Okay so I cannot remember the name of the doctor I saw, but I do remember that he made me feel safe, comfortable, and most importantly, he listened and I felt like he actually cared. All of the staff I interacted with were kind and helpful, the wait time was short, and the office was clean and calm. Whoever is in charge needs to give everyone a raise.

Excellent consultation

I came to Dr. Toussaint’s team in pain and with reduced mobility and was treated with care and concern. Following a quick and accurate diagnosis, I received a lumbar fusion and the excellent level of care continued. From history and physical to exceptional surgery, prescribed physical therapy, and subsequent follow up, I couldn’t be happier or more grateful. I still can’t believe that within 10 weeks of surgery, I was walking long distances and able to travel abroad - all pain-free. This is a great team!
