"Tim Tollestrup, MD Won’t accept any kind of insurance as he thinks he is worth more than the allowable rates that most insurance companies reimburse! He thinks his services are worth $500 for an initial consultation! He in effect forces you to pay in cash the fee and then get reimbursed less or not at all from your carrier! 99205 is the CPt code and is less than the fee he demands! Tried to talk to office manager and they twist this as it’s the Fault of the medical rates that most doctors follow and is allowable! He has monopoly and is not following normal medical guidelines!"

"Run, don’t walk, away from this hack. He lied to me and then messed me up for life! Don’t make the same mistake I made! He caused irreversible damage to my head. He does not own up to the butchering he does to you and then you’re on your own, in agony. "

"Made me worse. Sells you a story and abandons you if you're not better, or worse, which was my case. Diagnoses you over the internet via email. Won't see you again after surgery. You can only email. Won't even do a telehealth visit. So promises you good results, takes the money and runs away. Tells you whatever went wrong is some other issue and you should see some other kind of doctor to fix your NEW problems that occurred after he butchered you. Stay away! That' my warning. I wish I had heeded the other one-star reviews I had seen. I chalked it up to sour grapes. BIG MISTAKE! Run, don't walk, away from this hack!"

"UNNECESSARY PIRIFORMIS REMOVAL SURGERY. I have sciaitica/piriformis symptoms and went to Tollestrup for help. I follow his stupid FLOWCHART, surgery recommendation and had my piriformis muscle removal by him. The surgery didn't help at all and made me worse. I advise everyone to stay away from Tollestrup because he doesn't know what he is doing. "

"Dr. Tollestrup left my wife in horrible pain after his surgery. Before the surgery she was coping with her pain with just a couple of pain pills a week.She now has to be on pain medication 24/7. Doctors have told us his damage is irreversible. He changed our families life forever! Please do not let this doctor touch you!"
