"I am so happy that I got to see Dr Tovar, he is amazing "
  • August 25, 2021
"Dr. Tovar is a ROCKSTAR! After being admitted to St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank for a pain in my lower back and lower "left" abdomen, Dr. Tovar and the team deduced that my appendix had burst. He did an amazing job taking out the remains of my errored appendix and cleaning my abdominal cavity of any residual bacteria. After a week-long stay at the hospital, I was good as new. Dr. Tovar was amazing and with his follow-ups after my operation also"
