Dr. Toner was incredibly kind and clear, taking time to address my immediate concerns and walk me through my options. I'm very new to understanding fertility, and his supportive approach made me feel safe, informed, and comfortable continuing care here.As someone with a history of medical trauma, I pay close attention to how care is delivered. Thank you for creating an environment where I felt genuinely safe and well cared for.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Toner. The FET procedure was handled with exceptional skill, care, and professionalism. He took the time to explain every step, made me feel completely at ease, and showed genuine compassion throughout the process. His calm and reassuring manner made all the difference.

Dr. Toner and Dr. Anderson were both very patient, answered questions, and took time to review records I brought. I really appreciated Dr. Toner providing handouts I could take home. His explanation of the process was a great balance of scientific data with plain English summaries.

Dr. Toner did not explain the risk of needing stitches during an egg retrieval procedure. Once out of surgery, the procedure note did not even mention that I needed a stitch.

Dr. Toner was a great listener and made me feel at ease. He explained the embryo transfer details well and made me feel hopeful. Thank you!

I feel Dr. Tone should be a little more modern and progressive with concern to eggs and fertilization as he provides chart with averages and likelihood percents, but I could be an outlier and shock the stats. I am hopefully like most women in the 40s; however, I trust his judgement.
