Tobelman Jr William, MD

Although it has been 17 years since I last saw Dr. Tobleman, I will remember his kindness until the day I die. After having been to another neurologist who scared the bejeezus out of me by flat out telling me I had Multiple Sclerosis without the benefit of any testing whatsoever, I was desperate to find a neurologist and obtain help for myself. I had already been to the E.R. at a local hospital and was told I needed to see a neurologist immediately. The neurologist I was referred to had a 6 wk wait. In the meantime, I saw the scary neurologist who was of no help whatsoever. On a desperation call, I called Dr. Tobleman’s office. I was sobbing pretty hard on the phone as I didn’t seem to be making any headway with obtaining medical assistance. The kind person who answered the phone at Dr. Tobleman’s office asked if I could please hold. When she returned to the phone she said Dr, Tobleman could work me in between appointments that very day.
My husband drove me to Dr. Tobleman’s office as I was in no condition to drive myself. When I first met Dr. Tobleman he said «please come in and sit down, take your shoes off, sit a spell». Okay, he didn’t say the last bit but he did ask me to remove my shoes so he could test the reflexes in the soles of my feet.
Dr. Tobleman proceeded to patiently listen to me and ease my fears as I was crying. Dr. Tobleman told me before we freaked out, let’s do some testing and see what we are dealing with? Over a period of about 6 wks I had an MRI, a spinal tap and heavy metal testing. All of which were clear. Dr. Tobleman did prescribe one and only one medication for me and that was for my severe headaches.
Dr. Tobleman told me he found nothing wrong with me and that he felt with time my symptoms would disappear. At the time I was working a very toxic job. Amazingly, after I was fired from my toxic job, my symptoms went away never to reappear.
They don’t make doctors like Dr. Tobleman anymore. The point of this long winded review is that this man has a caring and kind demeanor but he also goes the distance in investigating one’s illness. If one is ill, it only crushes one’s soul further to be not taken seriously by the medical community. This is just not the case with Dr. Tobleman. I would give this man 100 stars if possible.
