Tingle Thomas C's Online Review Report Card

Dr Tingle has compassion and listens to you. I never feel rushed, and he does not push any procedures on you. The facilities are state of the art. He did my knee surgery and gives me yearly Supartz knee joint injections. I'm able to do things pain free as a 63-year-old Veteran. His office manager Genie just takes care of everything from insurance to RX refills. Just Top-Notch Care all around.

Amazing care,,,almost one year later and no problems very caring and takes his time loved him

Dr Tingle repaired a torn miniscus and some other minor damage he noticed while in the OR. I have been extremely happy with this physician, his nurse, his secretary, and the practice administrators.

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.

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.

I do not post very often, but wanted to share that I have always had a positive experience working with Dr. Tingle. Like others have said, he has a great bedside manner, and he explains the issues you are facing in a way that is easy for a non-doctor to understand. Also, he is transparent in what needs to be done, and what does not require any surgery.I recommend him to anyone I talk with that is have issues with their knees or shoulders.Thanks

Beyond excellent patient care

Dr. Tingle operated on my ankle 11 years ago after an injury that broke my ankle joint and tibia. I was very happy with him at the time. He was friendly, very informative and highly skilled. He got me back on my feet again. Recently I needed an exam on that ankle because of soreness from age and several people have commented on what a great job my surgeon did back then! Thanks again, Dr. Tingle! I highly recommend him!!

Dr. Tingle is an amazing surgeon. He takes his time to explain everything. My husband two surgeries,my son and I all have used him for knee meniscus. We feel he is the best around!

The nicest, caring and kindest Man and Doctor I have ever been to. He helped me tremendously and I am so incredibly grateful my family referred me to him.

dr. tingle has the best attitude and bedside manner I have ever seen. I went in for knee pain and he explained all of my options, in clear terms that you could understand.. he took time with me and did not make me feel like just another knee. he made eye contact and talked. my wife had knee replacement done in 10/16 and her dr., at the times I was with her, barely stayed in the room to explain anything. she was definitely just a number. dr. tingle made smalls cuts so my scarring is minimal.

I got excellent experience every time, with staff and Dr. Tingle with my injurie. Very pleased with the care and follow up, dr goes beyond his duty to provide excellent care.

Always a good experience. Two teens with sports injuries. Very pleased with the care and follow up.

My experience with Dr. Thomas Tingle and his secretary, Genie could not have gone smoother. On the day of the surgery, the staff of the Northwest Surgical Center, which was located at 1100 West Central Road, was extremely kind and helpful. They reassured me multiple times of the easiness of the surgery and thoroughly explained the procedure to my family and me. I give the highest recommendation to Dr. Tingle and his staff to anyone in need of orthopedic care because you will be in the best hands

My experience with Dr. Thomas Tingle and his secretary, Genie could not have gone smoother. Genie took complete responsibility of the forms my adjuster needed to see and other applications I had to submit to the Illinois Workers Compensation. She fought incredibly hard for my case and was also able to get my physical therapy approved. A week before my knee surgery I called almost every day with new questions and she answered them with the utmost patience and understanding. I felt completely at ease before the surgery because she wasn’t forgetting a single detail.

Dr. Tingle almost made a torn meniscus a pleasant experience! He is very professional and understanding of his patient's needs and comfort level. I would highly recommend him.

With bad arthritis, deteriorating cartilage, and an auto-immune condition that results in flare ups of unbearable inflammation, I have been going to Dr. Tingle for help for years. I was referred to him by a friend whose two children had successful surgeries following athletic injuries. He is supremely skilled yet very warm and sympathetic. I appreciate that he has worked with me to manage my pain and improve my condition instead of just prescribing stronger medications. Two years after first seeing him, I required surgery. I went in with the utmost confidence that Dr. Tingle would fix the problem and provide attentive care after - which he did. His schedule is tight but he will stay late or come in early to help his patients who are suffering. I think he is an excellent, compassionate doctor. Genie and the rest of the staff have always treated me with kindness and respect, as well. Love that new office, right next door to physical therapy, too.

I had knee surgery in November for a torn meniscus. I was extremely pleased with the pleasant and professional staff and with Dr. Tingle. He never made me feel like he was in a hurry and took time to make sure my concerns were addressed. My surgery and recovery went very smoothly and I am very happy with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Tingle. I could not have been more satisfied using Dr. Tingle and with the wonderful staff that he has.
