Stephen Richard Tolhurst

a day agoNEW If I could give zero stars I would. I specifically asked if Dr. Tolhurst performed a certain procedure before I made an appointment. When I made the appointment I was assured he did perform this procedure. I am cash pay and was told the consult would be $300. The first thing he told me when he came in the room was that he did not perform the procedure. I COULD NOT QUIT CRYING! He was not comforting or supportive. I waisted an afternoon seeing Dr. Tolhurst and they tried to charge me $450 on the way out. I feel like I was taken advantage of because I was told Dr. Tolhurst performed a certain procedure and does not. I went ahead and paid $300 for nothing. I really wish I would have just walked out because Dr. Tolhurst did not provide any useful information or service.

After 2 Lumbar and 2 Cervical fusions, I still have issues. Almost exactly one year after the Lumbar repair, I have Late-Onset SSI. I'm currently in discussions with a different doctor on how to proceed. Dr. Tolhurst was always running late and in a hurry. I never saw the hardware or an only minor overview of what was being done. I know that my body has a lot to blame however I also feel that if he would have taken more time and care, he would have been able to understand why my body doesn't like the hardware.

I was scheduled for an MRI after office visit staff never scheduled. My PCP had to schedule it. I went back for review of MRI and was scheduled for Discogram and a week later office staff could still not provide any information on its scheduling. I would not recommend.

Dr. Tolhurst is a wonderful doctor. I’m very grateful to have an active lifestyle again. I suffered in pain for over 15 years but in December 2019 I chose to have a 360 fusion and have recovered greatly. I was one of those people who kept putting it off due to fear of surgery but finally got to a point of surrender. So if you are like me and have avoided making that appointment wait no longer. Dr. Tolhurst and his staff are compassionate and very thorough. I’m eternally grateful for such great care.

Amazing doctor!!!! Great team and he is skilled and caring!! So blessed to have him do my surgery

Dr Tolhurst seemed very knowledgeable about his comments to me. He was well understood, seemed to really care, and provided answers for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone having back problems.

Did not listen to what I said. He was in too much of a rush to pay attention to me.

Everyone at the Texas Back Institute in Denton are wonderful. Dr. Tolhurst is a wonderful and very professional doctor. He was very thorough on the exams and in explaining every thing to me. He has a wonderful bed side manner and very courteous to my family. If every I am in need again I will return to this doctor.

Dr. Tolhurst and his staff have consistently provided excellent care. Sometimes as a professional I have to reschedule my appointment several times. His staff is always accommodating. Also, I ask a lot of questions. Dr. Tolhurst takes the time to answer my questions and to make sure that I truly understand his answers. Lastly, as a privacy professional I can tell that his staff takes very good care of private information. (The only thing overall that could be better is if he were a Buckeye!)
