Dr. Tolbert is an exemplary oncologist working in a difficult area of medicine where the “C” word elicits an exorbitant amount of angst and fear about one’s mortality. Despite this, his genuine commitment to providing nothing but outstanding care to his patients makes him stand out. Not to mention his radiant heart shines through the core of his awe-inspiring being! Dr. Tolbert has been my oncologist since 2019 and I’m beyond blessed because each connection with him is a gift—stellar technical competence, thoughtful and clear communications, being open and receptive to treatment modalities besides Western medicine, and 100% emotionally present (huge!). He has helped me to navigate this journey with hope, faith, and that I truly matter as a unique human being (and not just another patient that will be hurried through his busy day). Dr. Tolbert is a beacon of light, for which I’ll always be deeply thankful for and appreciative of. I appreciate you more than I could ever express in words!
