Tobolowsky David M MD

He failed to treat my mother’s Alzheimer’s. Instead, he treated her for depression. Thank God I convinced my father to get a second opinion. She went 2 years with the wrong treatment. The new doctor took one look at her test results (which were given by Dr. Tobolowski) and stated, «Clearly, the results show Alzheimer’s.» We were pretty sure that would be the diagnosis, but having received the wrong info for two years, we were second-​guessing ourselves. Of course, my father is devastated. But at least we can provide the proper care for her now.
When a patient states that they are not getting better, a good doctor (a competent doctor) should either change the course of action, or refer the patient to another doctor. Doctor Tobolowski always seemed bothered by the lack of improvement in my mother, when he should have been looking at other options, or consulting her test results. He really dropped the ball on this one, and our family is left to pick up the pieces.
