What His Patients Say

“Dr. Tomaras did for me what no other doctor had been able to do in 17 years…he got rid of my pain!! First he figured out what was wrong!! Then he fixed it with a spinal fusion and I have had a life with no more pain meds!! I didn’t think that was ever going to be possible. He was wonderful, caring and I would, without hesitation, recommend him to anyone needing spinal surgery. In fact, my son had spinal surgery shortly after I did for a ruptured disc. I am 5 years+ out and going strong!” ~ Healthgrades Review

“Dr. Tomaras performed my multi level spinal fusion seven years ago and did such an excellent job that when it came time for a cervical fusion there was no doctor I would have to perform the surgery other than Dr. Tomaras. Dr. Tomaras performed my cervical fusion 3 months ago and it went off without a hitch. He explained the process and possible side effects. I expressed my fears and he respected what I said and did his best to put me at ease. Dr. Tomaras is without a doubt one of the best doctors I have used. His bedside manner and his skill as a neurosurgeon put him in a league of his own. The office staff are helpful and quick in returning calls and e-mails. All around exemplary staff and experience.” ~Google Review
