If you are diagnosed with breast cancer, please seek a consult with him first. He and his staff are truly patient-oriented, kind and compassionate. I could not be more pleased.

I highly recommend Dr. O'Toole for breast cancer patients who are looking for alternatives to traditional (two-stage) reconstructive surgery. He is very knowledgeable re: single stage reconstruction and is very compassionate towards his patients.

Dr. O'Toole performed immediate reconstruction following bilateral mastectomy. I am completely happy with my reconstruction. Dr. O'Toole fit me into his when I had some minor complications. He was never distracted or rushed. I felt like I had 100% of his attention at each and every visit. He is extremely compassionate and truly cares for his patients.

While I did wait a little longer than I wanted to (not as long I do in all my other doctors offices!!)- he apologized and explained he was spending extra time with a breast cancer patient, I get that. What impressed me the most was that he was knowlegdable about all of my medical issues, even the weird ones that other doctors know nothing about! I feel like I am in very good hands!

recently saw Dr O'toole for breast health issues, he must have spent over an hour with me and explained everything very clearly! He let me know of all of my options, the good and the bad. For. The first time i feel like I'm the one in control! that is one great feeling!
