Dr. Tolis was kind and compassionate as well as having a sense of humor. During a very scary time for us we felt confident that everything would come out alright. My husband had an aortic aneurism repaired and has been well ever since.

"The experience with Dr. Tolis was wonderful. He is the warmest, most engaged surgeon I have ever met (and I have met many). His confidence and ability to communicate before and after the procedure has helped me to heal ahead of the average timeline. When you lay down on the first gurney, you become the passenger/observer. That can be a cause of fear and anxiety. Having a doctor like this really makes you feel you will be OK." Jim Iodice Aortic Valve, Double Bypass done at Massachusetts General Hospital on 04 /24/2018

Dr. Tolas saved my life 8 years ago. I was rushed to Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC with severe chest pain. It was an aortic dissection. I was lucky that it was Dr Tolas who performed the surgery. Thank you Dr Tolas
