    I have been a patient of Dr. TOLEP for many years as I suffer from many pulmonary issues. I am now in my upper 80’s and have a number of other medical doctors treating me for other medical problems I have. I am a retired attorney and in my 40 year career as a trial lawyer, I dealt with dozens of doctors in multiple specialties. I have always considered Dr. TOLEP to be the finest medical doctor in all specialties that I have ever encountered. He is very intelligent, well trained, has many years of experience and is very professional. He answers all questions in detail and explores every possible treatment for your condition. He also provides a detailed report on every visit which clearly shows his diagnosis as well as his plan for treatment. Our Community is fortunate to have him. Al Frierson
