Dr Tillotson is an amazing Doctor and surgeon. I was so impressed and appreciative of the time he took to explain everything that was happening and the time he took with every follow up appointment and phone call. He is extremely smart and proficient in his field. I cannot express how grateful I am and I would give my highest recommendation to anyone who is in need of an excellent doc. I have my full trust in all of his abilities.

I LOVE this man. I have been seeing him for several years. He follows up, calls on weekends to be sure you are ok. He explains the situation and diagnosis and even extends his information to anyone you would like to know it. He has charisma and I believe he is really sincere about helping his patients.

Dr. Tillotson has operated on me three times. Not only is he an excellent surgeon, but he is a very compassionate and caring human being. He always took the time to answer all my questions patiently and in a way that I could understand. I believe he truly makes the patient's needs his top priority. He is the finest doctor I have ever come in contact with.

Dr. Tlliston is an outstanding and knowledeable Surgeon. He shows compassion, answers all your questions in laymen terms, is pinctual with all his appointments and spends his time with a cisit. I find him very thorough and caring. He is an asset to his profession. When I encountered a problem with lack of circulation to my foot he saw me immediately and I still did not have a lengthy wait. Upon his exam he had Jen ( his sidekick assistant) set up an appointment with the hospital the following day and since this occurred on a Friday, he took time to call me on Saturday with the results. He arranged to see me in his office that Monday and before I left the office he had all my pre-op as well as my surgery set for Friday. His assistant Jen is also a positive reflection of his practice. She is full of life, adorable in personality and will do everything in her power to make your visit and all appointments as easy as possible. I have never a review about any doctor or assistant… , but have no other way of expressing my sincere gratefulness to both of these professionals. I have no negative comments to offer.
