Gregory A. Tocks D.O.
“Outstanding. Dr. Tocks treated me with the highest level of professionalism, compassion, concern, and dignity. His ability to clearly and gently explain and describe the diagnosis, the joint replacement procedure, and the follow-up was excellent. Knowing and understanding the details of my surgery and recovery gave me comfort and eliminated any anxious feelings that I faced. I would gladly recommend Dr. Tocks to anyone who is considering joint replacement surgery.”

“This was my second total reverse shoulder replacement done by Dr. Tocks. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and personable. On both occasions, he explained what would happen, discussed the radiographs and what he saw and how it would be repaired, how the staff would coordinate testing, etc., necessary to proceed with the surgeries. On both occasions, I could not have been happier with the outcome. I had debated having the first surgery after hearing friends discuss how horrible the recovery and PT would be, but I found none of the negative comments even to be anywhere near the truth. Then, after the second shoulder joint deteriorated even more and became very painful, I chose to have that surgery also. I must say the surgeries were the best decisions I ever made.”

“I will be brief. I have been an anesthesia provider for over 40 years. I am not easy to impress. I did anesthesia for Dick Rothman, involving some of the earliest joint replacements in the world. Since then, I have participated in thousands of procedures. All that goes out the window when it is on your body. Sufficed to say, my mind and body are impressed. The entire team is responsible for my recovery. The team starts with good leadership, and obviously, it is pervasive in this practice. I am walking with a cane ten days after a THR by Dr. Tocks. We both share the same first name and also share the knowledge that we change lives. Dr. Tocks and his team have changed my life. If you were my son, I would be extremely proud of you. I will continue to move forward and remember that my easiest day was yesterday. From the bottom of my heart to the artificial cup in my acetabulum, we thank you.”
– Gregory R.
“From my research, I learned that Dr. Tocks performs the anterior hip replacement method, which improves the chances of a quicker recovery. I found this to be the case with both of my hip replacements. I recovered quickly, especially with the help of aqua therapy, which I continue to practice on most days.”
– Pamela W.
“I would recommend Dr. Tocks to anyone; in fact, I already have. He showed great care and compassion throughout my hip replacement procedure. Dr. Tocks was able to match the length of my other leg, which ended up longer due to a previous surgery performed by a different provider. After nearly three years of limping, I will be able to walk with a normal gait. Dr. Tocks, I am so grateful to you for making this a reality.”
– Nancy S.
“Dr. Tocks is caring, asks you if you have questions, and does not make you feel rushed. He has the best bedside manners I've seen in a doctor in years, and he is sincere. I will recommend him to all my family and friends.”
– Joanne B.
“I was well taken care of by Dr. Tocks.”
– John E.
“Doctor Tocks was very thorough in his description of what it would be like to go through total knee replacement surgeries. He was very caring and professional during any setbacks I had, and he told me how to deal with the situation. I put in the work with the exercises assigned to me by my physical therapist, and Dr. Tocks did the rest. Seven months after my right knee replacement and almost four months after my left knee replacement, I am doing well. My quality of life has improved tremendously. Thank you all.”
– Irene L.
“Dr. Tocks was thorough with the follow-up exam of my shoulder. He explained my condition thoroughly and prescribed a home therapy program to strengthen my shoulder. As always, it was very pleasant and professional.”
– Guy B.
“I had a very professional experience with Dr. Tocks. I would definitely recommend the facility and its staff.”
– Timothy R.
“It was awesome having Dr. Tocks and a great team.”
– Sara V.
“The whole staff was very professional. Dr. Tocks was able to identify my problem very quickly. His explanation of what I was dealing with made it easy for me to understand. Dr. Tocks had a great personality, and I would have no problem seeing him again.”
– Ken C.
“I had a total knee replacement performed by Dr. Tocks. He’s been professional and kind throughout the process, from the first consultation to the post-op. He is very competent and explains all the details. I am pleased with the outcome and will not hesitate to recommend him.”
– William S.
“My procedure went smoothly. The results are excellent on both my first and second knee replacements. I would choose Dr. Tocks for any surgical procedure needed.”
– Amy T.
“I had a great experience with Dr. Tocks for both knee replacements. He listened and answered questions, and he was very friendly. Both procedures were well planned from the first appointment to the last, with timely reminders of what I should be doing.”
– Diane B.
“Based on what I have heard from other patients, as well as my own personal experience, I believe that Dr. Tocks is a very capable surgeon. In terms of communication, he listens carefully to what I have to say and invites my feedback. There is a good chance that my left hip will need to be replaced in the near future. If and when that time comes, I will entrust the procedure to Dr. Tocks.”
– Richard T.
“Dr. Tocks was on top of his game. Beth, the nurse, was great and informative. Thank you to Dr. Tocks, the care team, and the staff.”
– Daniel M.
“Everyone has told me that Dr. Tocks is one of the best; I agree and would recommend him to my family and friends. I only had pain for about two days after my surgery and none since. He is very professional and is very easy to talk to about my injury and plans for recovery.”
– James Z.
“Dr. Tocks was very thorough. He personally called me the night before surgery to see if I had any questions or concerns. Dr. Tocks replaced my right knee in January with excellent results and recuperating time.”
– George B.
“Everything was explained to me in great detail. I had a nurse to call if I had a question or concern (she always answered her phone). Dr. Tocks was great; they are patient-centered. I had my hip replaced and I walked out (aided by a walker) of the surgicenter hours later.”
– Janie R.
“My whole experience was first class, from the beginning to the end. Dr. Tocks took the time to talk with me at the initial consultation. When it was time for my post-op visit, he answered all my questions again. I never felt as though I was on my own. This is not my first orthopedic procedure. This experience was far superior to anything I've experienced. I wouldn't hesitate to head back to Dr. Tocks if I have future orthopedic needs.”
– Keith B.
“I like Dr. Tocks. He always shakes my hand. Not all doctors do that anymore. My hip feels so much better than before the surgery.”
