Dr. Thomas Tingle, MD

The staff is so friendly. Dr. Tingle is the best, he always checks in to see how I am doing not only about my injury and recovery but my emotionally as well.

Dr. Tingle and his staff are awesome. I went from not being able to walk to doing a triathlon in under 6 months post surgery. He really is a master of his craft!

Dr. Tingle has been fantastic since the second I met him. I've had knee pain for years and been to many doctors that told me 'nothing was wrong' or that I'm 'too young' to have issues. Dr. Tingle took me seriously from the start and did find very real problems in my knees. It was really nice to have a doctor listen to me and try all other approaches before recommending surgery, even though that was what I ultimately needed. His bedside manner is wonderful and he communicates SO clearly about what will happen and when and why. The appointment never feels rushed or like he isn't COMPLETELY listening to everything you say. I had two surgeries, one for each knee, as well as several other shots and things before surgery and Dr. Tingle did everything. Walked me through the whole process and was very realistic but reassuring. I truly cannot recommend him enough. I tell all of my friends if they ever have knee issues that they have to see Dr. Tingle! He's an incredible doc, but also just a… really great person to interact with, and his nurses are phenomenal. Almost makes me sad that my knees are better now because I'll miss everyone at that office!

Dr Tingle is a very special Dr and surgeon. I had shoulder surgery roughly 6 months ago and while painful his philosphy of getting you to PT quickly helped me tremendously. I was in a sling roughly a month and he has me see him once a month to check on my progress. During my visits he takes his time with you and asks all the right questions. I am so appreciative of what he did and I should be swinging my tennis raquest in no time. His front office and nurses are friendly and caring. I highly recommend him and his practice.

Dr. Tingle is an incredible doctor. I tore my ACL and needed to have surgery. From the first appointment for diagnosis, to necessary surgery, to my follow up appointments, I was listened to, spoke to kindly and with respect and educated about my condition. You can tell he truly cares about what he does and his patients. He surrounds himself with nurses, assistants and front staff who share in his beliefs and their treatment was also so kind, helpful and welcoming. I would recommend Dr. Tingle always. You will get great care from him and his team.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Tingle’s for about 7 years, having had torn cartilage in my right knee. He’s easy to talk to, good attitude, friendly person that I can rely on to give me an honest evaluation and the proper treatment. The Suppartz injections have kept me mobile and relatively pain free. I recommend him highly! I’m a nurse so I’ve compared ortho practices and physicians, I feel that I get first rate care from Dr Tingle.

Dr Tingle repaired a torn meniscus and some other damage he found during the procedure. I am very pleased with the results, as well as all the visits and communication between the procedure and my initial visit. The doctor, his nurse, his secretary, and the practice staff are all stellar. Should I have further ortho work in the future, I will definitely be going back to his practice!

I have visited this office and used Dr Kuchar and Dr Abraham and left 5 star reviews for both. Dr Tingle was somewhat arrogant and condescending making me wait over an hour on both my visits with no comment or apology for disrespecting my time. While reviewing my MRI with me, he used complex medical terms and jargon. I'm not a doctor, but I'm also not an idiot. His explanation of my "diagnosis' was woefully lacking. When I asked some questions, he suggested Googling. Did I just pay for that advice? Yeah. I did. Thousands of dollars actually. My husband worked with him 2 years ago and liked and recommended him to me. I would not recommend Dr Tingle. Ridiculous.

I have visited the practice and worked with both Dr Kuchar and Dr Abraham and gave both 5 star reviews. I'm surprised by the glowing reviews for Dr Tingle and my experience was not positive. He was somewhat arrogant and condescending making me wait close to an hour on both my visits with no comment or apology for disrespecting my time. Upon going over my MRI of my shoulder he used complex medical jargon and phrases. I may not be a doctor, but I'm not an idiot; I had no understanding of my "diagnosis". When I asked for some clarification, he commented I could check Google or talk to other physicians. Did I actually pay for that advice? Yeah. I did. Thousands of dollars worth actually. My husband worked with him a couple years ago and liked and recommended him to me. I did notice some of these 5 star reviews are a couple years old. Looks like I need to take my MRI results elsewhere and get someone to sit down and explain them to me. That's ridiculous. I did Google (as Tingle suggested),… but I think I need a more comprehensive explanation. Won't be back to this doctor. What a pathetic waste of time and money!

Dr. Tingle and his team have some of the best bedside manner I have ever experienced. He is not only a talented and skilled surgeon, his follow up and treatment is excellent. I have had him perform TWO of my surgeries and have had yearly visits with him since, and I ALWAYS have a good experience. The worst thing that has happened since her performed my first surgery 10 years ago was that I had to wait an extra 1/2 hour due to an emergency surgery he had to attend to- ONCE. I like the staff as well; they are both helpful and warm people.
