Patient Reviews
Jul 27, 2019
Dr. Topolgus operated on me just a couple weeks ago (July 2019) and removed my gallbladder. He was very attentive and I felt as though I could ask him anything and get a knowledgeable and truthful answer. I felt at ease with him immediately. He took the time to explain the surgery to me, what he was going to do, and what I should expect afterward. He was wonderful in making sure I had everything I needed when I left the hospital to recover. I don't like the thought of another surgery, but it is very reassuring to know he is here if I should ever need one. I can't thank him enough.
