I FIRST CONSULTED WITH DR TOMAN WHEN HIS OFFICE WAS IN PUNTA GORDA. BEFORE I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD WITH A HIP REPLACEMENT, HE MOVED HIS PRACTICE TO SARASOTA. DURING MY PUNTA GORDA MEETINGS WITH HIM, I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE “NEW, LESS-INVASIVE PROCEDURE”, I DECIDED TO STAY WITH HIM. I WAS REWARDED WITH A MOST SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME; WALKING THE DAY AFTER SURGERY WITH NO HIP PAIN FROM THAT DAY FORWARD. I’M BACK TO SMACKING THE GOLF BALL (ALTHOUGH THE SURGERY HAS NOT CURED MY SLICE). DR TOMAN’S STAFF IS COURTEOUS AND I’M PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED WITH COBY WHO SEEMS TO BE ALWAYS RIGHT THERE WHEN NEEDED. I’VE YET TO DECIDE IF I SHOULD GO AHEAD WITH A SHOULDER REPLACEMENT; IF I DO, THERE WILL BE NO PROBLEM IN SELECTING DR TOMAN TO DO THE JOB.
