Toby is an outstanding nurse. He immediately entered our dad's room and took over with care above and beyond. He is teaching and reaching hearts of his patients and their families. Toby is a hard-working, persistent, personal, well-rounded type of guy. Miami Valley Hospital needs many more nurses like Toby!

My 89-year-old grandmother who weighs 80 pounds suffered a fall. This resulted in head and neck trauma. There are many issues to complicate her condition including dementia, diabetes and bilateral pneumonia. We were grateful Toby was her nurse. He showed such compassion during our five-day stay. He always listened to our concerns and took action. At no time did we feel he was too busy for us. He was very gentle with Grandma and showed genuine concern for her welfare. We saw that Toby has a servant's heart and is not just "doing his job". We appreciate his passionate persistence to correct issues as they arose. Grandma was not always responding well to treatment especially in regards to IV fluids and blood glucose control. Toby took care of business to optimize her outcomes. We feel God has a plan for Toby. He will have a very successful and fulfilling career as a nurse. Toby cares about his patients as much as families care and that makes all the difference! We are very thankful for Toby!
