Paul Tolentino's Online Review Report Card

Dr Tolentino and his staff are very personable and kind. His surgical skills are top notch. I can't say enough good about them. Definitely give them a call if neurosurgery is in your future. 10/10 would recommend!

In 2005 Dr Toletino did a discectomy on me 3 day after my surgery the pain was back in my leg the MRI was negative but he listen to me. The disc had reherniated and embedded inside the nerve. Thank you Dr. T for giving me my life back.

I had taken a bad fall the last of July hitting my head on the tile floor. Made a trip to the emergency room wanting to be checked for a concussion or brain bleed. The scan of my head showed neither was present. Over a period of 2 months I developed headaches, dizziness and nausea. Returning to the emergency room the last of September another scan showed a massive hematoma on the right side and a smaller one on the left side. Dr. Tolentino was on call and told me what needed to be done. I had brain surgery 2 days later where both sides were cleaned out. 2 days later I was having some issues with my left side and had another surgery on the right side. After several days in ICU and the therapy unit I was released, after several follow up visits and scans, 2 months later, I’ve had a full recovery and doing great. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Tolentino and his staff. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t think I would be here now.

This doctor took excellent care of my husband. He looked at x-rays and stated you have in pain to long. The next week on New Years Eve he did surgery. My husband only took one pain pill. This doctor is an amazing caring surgeon. Not only does he care about patient he cares about the family and assures you understand the why's, what he is going to do, and the care needed afterwards. As with any good leader his staff is as excellent as he is with everyone that walks throught the door.

I had surgery in August 2021 for a herniated disc in my neck. The pain was awful. After surgery the pain had disappeared. It has been a year since surgery and everything is still great. Dr. Tolentino and has staff really care for their patients and do outstanding work. Appointments were always on time. Thank you Dr. Tolentino for the exceptional service you provided me.

I had a brain tumor that was successfully removed by Dr Tolentino. I truly believe that he with God’s help saved my life. I should not be here but 12 years later I’m still going strong. I have recommended him to numerous people. He truly cares about his patients.

Tolentino is a terrible surgeon. He whispers about his patients weight and physical appearance to his staff. He clearly does not respect his patients and his surgical abilities are severely lacking.

I met Dr. Paul Tolentino about a year ago (2020) who diagnosed me with a herniated disc in the Lower L region due to ongoing back pain. The ongoing care after the successful procedure leaves me to wonder, why do people with similar condition not address their health related issues sooner? Are they afraid of the unknown? I am almost 70 yo and Dr. Tolentino not only educated me, but ensured I had full understanding moving forward with the healing process, therapy involved and answering any questions I had so I would feel comfortable. I did! I feel in order to have a successful and positive outcome with such a delicate surgery, you have to build a relationship and a partnership with your caregiver. Dr. Tolentino not only supported my well-being along the way, but after a year of healing, I feel this is a great success. My last check up with DR. Tolentino was a uplifting visit. I feel you have to listen, learn and feel good about your choices the medical profession has to offer. Dr. Tolentino and his staff are exceptional, passionate and always provide support when I needed. This is a great example of our Healthcare at work and the future of medicine working its miracles. Thanks to Regional Brain and Spine and Southeast Health in Cape Girardeau MO being there for me. Thank you Dr. Paul!

He did my back surgery. I highly recommend him.
