Comments
Dr. Tokarz is very patient with us and helps me decrease my meds and also get the prescriptions that we need so I can success in the future -
Helps fill prescriptions when we need them -
It was an e-visit due to COVID-19 precautions. I think it went as well as it could for not being in person.
Scheduling staff was excellent at the short notice switch to an e-visit. However, I think port of our success lies in the fact that we already knew how to use zoom.
Dr. Tokery is wonderful. Great bedside manner. Don't smother her or the practice of medication with inept reception staff & call centers. The reception staff person was to provide a list of adult neurologists nears 60010. She didn't!
The call center appt. schedulers are TERRIBLE and rude. Let calls go to the physician offices. They didn't care about the need to schedule. They should ask so many questions that are meaningless to the situation HIPAA doesn't apply to make a child's appt. Rewrite the script for a better "health consumer" experience. Right now the experience rates as "0." It's made me not like anything about Advocate!
Dr. Tokarz is great! She is always very supportive and friendly.
dr was polite
Excellent provider, very knowledgeable and observant. Spent a great deal of time asking questions, answering questions and assessing my child.
I always have a great experience.
keep up the good work
Very kind & professional provider. She seemed well-versed in her speciality (neurology).
She's just plain rude.
Dr Tokarz always takes the time to hear what our daughter is going through and wants to understand all details of her current health. We ask questions and feel part of the "team" when we visit with the dr.
Very good experiences with Dr Tokarz
Provider was very thorough, spent a lot of time with us.
She took her time with me and my son. she treated him so kindly and explained to him why she was asking questions .
Fantastic!
we waited 40 minutes for the doctor but then she did spend a lot of time with us
We love Dr. Tokarz. She is great asking important questions.
Dr. would cut me off when talking, she was condensending and did not take my concerns seriously. Dr. basically told me not to come back visit her unless my child had a seizure.
She was an exceptional a doctor. I felt that she was very caring and listened well.
Dr. Tokarz is nice, professional, and knowledgeable. I feel that she always has my best interest in mind with the great care she gives.
My sone was air lifted on October 10th, 2018 to Advocate _____ Hospital, due to head injury. I am very happy , pleased and thankful w/ all the hospital staff under his care. may God bless each and one of you for such wonderful job, care and compassion.
Very accommodating and helpful, makes you calm w/your child's situation.
Very good doctor always helpful courteous.
Dr. Tokarz is great and I feel she is the right dr. to treat my son.
Dr. Tokarz is an awesome physician. she is very smart, professional and knowledgeable about my health conditions. She takes the time out to explain the care and treatment plan with me. She listens to my concerns and answers my questions thoroughly. She even asks about and knows my future goals and plans.
Dr. Tokarz and her team are caring, informative, and responsive to my questions and directly with my son during our visits.
Dr. Tokarz was simply amazing. She listened to what my child had to say and showed real interest in trying to find out what was going on. She actually spent time with us and made sure all of our concerns were addressed. She is a great and caring physician.
not good at all not helpful very disappointed .
Very professional. Shows care and concern for my daughter's well being.
