Dr. Topf is the best! He is far more personable than most of the doctors I see and is easy to talk to. I feel like he really listens to me.

Dr. Topf was kind and showed concern with my issue. We walked me through an uncomfortable procedure and put me at ease as much as possible. I felt I was in good hands and that he wanted answers as much as I did.

Dr. Topf is the best doctor I have had. He saw my problem and arranged I think 5 doctors to do a major surgery. He done this and operated in a couple of days time. He saw the urgency in my case. He saved my life. He is friendly and enjoyable. I look forward to seeing him. He is monitoring and doing regular scans. He is staying on top of it. He has called me personally several times with results and other needs. I am really thankful for him. I have several doctors at Vanderbilt. I live in Cookeville Tn. Oh also all of the staff I feel great to have them. Can't say enough about my service. Thank you.
