Mar 01, 2023
I shattered my femur and after a bad first surgery from another Dr. Dr Tonks came in and fixed it right up. Giving me the best chance to walk normally again. Besides his skills as a surgeon, he has a great bed side manner and sense of humor. He really listens to you as well. Thank you Dr Tonks.
