Gina Tobalina, MD, Inc.

Dr. Tobalina is the best. She is incredibly patient, understanding, and she makes me feel comfortable when I'm there for an appointment. The staff is amazing and always helpful. I feel lucky to be in the care of such an amazing doctor. Seriously, everyone in that office is just wonderful

Dr Tobalina is one of the best doctors that I have ever had! She really takes the time to get to know her patients, and truly cares about the treatment that is best for the patient. I tend to have a more holistic lifestyle so I love that she doesn't try to shove a bunch of medication at me. Every time I go into her office, her staff is very kind and I never feel rushed in appointments- I feel like I am sitting with a friend who really listens and wants what's best for me. I switched insurance but I will pay out of pocket just to be able to keep being seen by her. I have worked in the medical industry- and Doctors like this are hard to come by these days. I highly recommend her!

Dr Tobalina and the medical team are terrific. I have had a lot of complicated health situations that were unable to be resolved via multiple providers, and Dr Tobalina was able to figure out cause and treat. She is very thorough and her whole team really take time to listen to you.

I can’t say enough good things about this office. Every single person who works here cares about you. I went in asking for some simple prescription. But the PA I saw did her job and asked me questions and together with her and with Dr. Tobalina we were able to discover that I had some serious problems that needed the cause uncovered. They got me the diagnoses that I needed and they were able to explain to me how I was going to live with what we discovered and how to take care of myself in the future. If you are a woman in this area go to this office. They care about you, they will listen to you and they will get you the help that you need.

Dr. Tobalina and her team are fantastic to work with. Dr Toblalina's approach to medicine is pro active verses reactive. Keep up the great work

This listing shouldn't be under "Gina Tobalina, MD, Inc."....it should be under "Whoever the Heck Happens to Be on Staff OTM, but You Sure as Heck Won't See Dr. Tobalina, MD, Inc."

I have been a patient of Dr. Tobalina since I moved to the area in 2013....a patient for the past 10 YEARS, and I can count on one hand the number of times I have been able to actually see Dr. Tobalina. She has virtually ZERO availability, and if you are lucky enough to snag an appointment with her weeks ahead of time, there is a very high probability you will get a phone call indicating that her schedule changed, she has to deal with a personal matter, or whatever...and you'll get pushed onto another member of the team.

But my biggest disappointment with this medical establishment happened in 2020-21. I was suffering from tremendous pain from gallstones for months. It seems like it would be a slam dunk diagnosis; however, for some reason it took Tobalina way too long to discover I was full of gallstones, and was suffering frequent attacks.

I was referred by Tobalina to this quack that botched the surgery to remove my gallbladder. I spent 3 WEEKS in the hospital as a result. Tobalina received updates regarding my condition all the while I was in the hospital, but I received no follow-up inquiry from her as to how I was doing. One of the reasons I chose Dr. Tobalina when I moved here was because I wanted the personal attention of an all-around family doctor....but I've been left very disappointed in that regard.

Flash forward to today....I am experiencing sharp pains in the approximate location where my gallbladder used to be, and I fear it is connected to the previous botched surgery. After reaching out to make an appointment with Tobalina, I again get the runaround about her availability, and I'm forced to make an appointment with another member of her staff who knows nothing about my gallbadder history....so much for being MY doctor. I am in quite a bit of pain, but the very best they could do is give me an appointment with "Dr. Who the Heck Knows" a WEEK FROM NOW.

If you're a woman, don't expect to receive any sort of reminders for well-woman exams, mammograms, etc....because that is apparently all up to you to remember and schedule. I constantly have to dig around in my files in order to figure out what I'm due for.

Finally, I want to point out that I previously also had my child see Tobalina (or whoever they stuck him with), but I had to change his doctor on account of there being very little knowledge of pediatric care in this office. Perhaps that was me being naive in having my son see the same doctor as me, but again, I had this crazy idea about having a FAMILY DOCTOR.

Worst doctor you can possibly find in the Folsom area. She has been diagnosing condition my wife's condition for 2 years now and could not find out what's causing pains. There was a x-ray report which clearly indicated patient has swelling in the neck and her treatment was to apply ice. No further evaluation of why the swelling was there in the first place. We switched doctor to UC Davis and just in our second visit it was diagnosed as disk misalignment in cervical spine causing neck pain and inflammation. Avoid her and HILLS. She refers to specialists and none of them are available in Folsom. You would be travelling only to Roseville and Rocklin because they are "in-network". And I almost forgot it takes 2 moths to get a follow up appointment with her and runs her business with nurse practitioners

Golina needs to be replaced. Most unprofessional and rude person I have ever had contact with in every interaction I have had with her. This office makes it so hard to make appointments and are always rude on the phone. I have been a patient for many years and I like the doctor but her staff is unbearable. NEEDS to be fixed.
