What Our Patients Say

“Dr. Tole was amazing and so glad he is in the Columbus area. I learned so much about my body reactions and allergies that my tests validated. He takes his time to explain everything. I look forward to the diet changes we discussed and what it will do for me. Would certainly recommend to all!!”

G

“Dr. Tole is incredibly thorough, empathetic, and highly knowledgeable. A very rare thing to find these days in healthcare. His nurse Hope was also an absolute sweetheart. This was by far the best experience l've had with any doctor since arriving to Columbus. l've unfortunately had the worst luck with doctors in this city but he clearly cares about his patients. Compassion and expertise are vital to those of us suffering through health issues and Dr. Tole definitely has both.”

“Extremely fortunate Dr. Tole has opened a location in Columbus. The only allergist to get the bottom of my issues and work with my ENT getting my sinuses and allergies under control. The whole staff is always welcoming, Auburn and Columbus locations. I recommend Dr. Tole often and thankful for his expertise.”
