Extremely professional yet personable.
-
My initial appointment with this physician was very positive.
-
Dr. Tonn was already familiar with a lot of my medical history which actually is a big deal. I know how busy our doctors and healthcare professionals are but I didn't feel rushed. Because he reviewed my file beforehand I didn't have to spend valuable time trying to explain my medical history in my terms when my medical records are more clear and succinct. He understood my concerns, ask for clarifications about my concerns and my history, and explained what we could do to address them. I'm confident he wants to help me feel better and do what we can to monitor my health issues and improve my quality of life. I am very grateful.
-
Being heard when you aren't feeling well is such a powerful thing. Dr. Tonn listened carefully, asked valuable questions, and didn't seem to have any bias in his thinking about my specific case.
-
Already recommended Dr. Tonn and his team to a friend looking for an ENT.
-
Wasn't with him long enough to answer all these questions.
-
Not sure what a clinician is. I only saw a doctor and a nurse.
-
Dr Tonn answered all my questions and explained things really well to me. I am now 5 days from my appt and the intervention recommended seems to be very effective.

About Christopher Tonn, MD
I bring a broad background to patient care, shaped by years of military service where I treated a wide range of conditions from ear and sinus disease to cancer, endocrine disorders, trauma, and pediatric concerns. I didn't grow up around medicine. A family friend invited me to watch surgeries in high school, and that sparked my interest. In college, I loved both science and the humanities, and medicine felt like the perfect mix. Helping people feel better and live fuller lives is what drives me every day.Philosophy of care
My approach to medicine is one patient at a time. Each patient takes time out of their busy life to seek help, so I aim to give them my full attention. I focus on understanding their concerns and providing clear communication to both the patient and their family.Gender
