Dr. Tosiou helped my sister this past year. She came in from Indiana because she was getting nowhere with her doctors in Indiana. I was able to be in the room with as she saw Dr. Tosiou. She had excellent results following his medical orders. I knew from the get go, that if I ever needed a Gastro doctor he would be it.I saw Dr. Tosiou on September 2nd of this year, and I was very pleased. He gave me plenty of time and I never felt like he rushed the appointment. He is a very nice man and he makes you feel comfortable in the appt. I would recommend him without any doubt.
