I was shocked to find I have breast cancer. I didn't really know what to do.Dr. Tolnitch has helped me thru it all. I just had a lumpectomy and she was right there for me. always answers my questions. I did some research of the doctor with a lot of experience and Dr. Tolnitch is the best u can get.

I've been a patient of Dr. Tolnitch's for over 15 years. I was referred to her by a friend who was diagnosed with breast cancer by Dr. Tolnitch after a different doctor missed the diagnosis. She has performed surgery on breast masses I have had and I am very satisfied with the treatment by her and her office and operating room staff. She is direct and a woman of few words so some might think she is lacking in sensitivity. I'd rather have a expert scientist who knows her specialty than a pal when it comes to my medical care. I have referred friends to Dr. Tolnitch and will continue to see her annually for examinations.
