Both Dr Tillou and his assistant were great. They both made an unpleasant exam and procedure as comfortable as possible. Dr Tillou was great at explaining everything before, during and after and what to expect and look out for aShow morend why. Front desk person was great too. I would definitely highly recommend Dr Tillou and his team.
Wonderful doctor. Took decisive action to treat my daughter. Would 100% recommend him for his expertise and personable bedside manner.

Pleasant visit
Dr. Tillou did an excellent job with my surgery. He explained the benefits vs the risks and listened to my concerns.
