"Dr. Tonsing and his Staff Have provided our family with the best professional and compassionate care possible over a 15 year period. M. in his office has been a life saver. Words are inadequate to express our sincere appreciation for Dr. Tonsing and M. for accepting our daughter as a patient. R. "

"This doctor was so unprofessional at his job, I can't believe anyone could ever believe him to be a real doctor. The first time I told him about the child abuse I suffered, he immediately became hostile and told me the abuser would never do what I said they did. This was the beginning of many negative confrontations with him. For instance, I asked him a few times for information for my own health and well-being, and he became angry and didn't want to answer any of my questions. Besides this, I had a seizure and almost fell from a high place. So I told Dr. Tonsing I wanted to stop taking the medicine. He finally recommended I go see another doctor of his choosing. This other doctor told me to stop taking the medicine. So I told Dr. Tonsing about this, and he disturbingly told me to continue taking it. I followed the advice of the doctor he sent me to and quit taking the medicine. But, since that doctor didn't give me instructions on how to get off of it safely, I ended up getting insomnia ...
for about five years. In this time, I realized that I didn't even need the medicine in the first place, AND Dr. Tonsing diagnosed me with an illness I never even had. Plus, he treated me like a problem child the entire time. I was disrespected so much that I felt less than human. Furthermore, I continue to have problems with other corrupt people in society and cruel family members who enjoy questioning my sanity on a regular basis and causing problems for me whenever they feel like it. I truly feel sorry for any and all vulnerable people (children, people with mental health issues, those who have seizures, etc.) who are forced to see this doctor or choose to do so because he seems like a nice person, BUT he makes every effort to fool everyone around him into believing his dark lies. He lies so no one finds out about how horribly he treats his patients when no one's looking. This "doctor" has caused me so many problems that I can't even stand to write it all down. His low behavior is shameful and embarassing. "

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
