Growing up in Turkey, Dr. Toklu comes from a very
big close-knit family that lived close to each other
making daily tea or coffee stop-by a common
occurrence. Dr. Toklu and his wife credit the close
family ties in making them the compassionate
people they are today and are most thankful for these
ties.
Dr. Toklu enjoys finding time to keep his mind and
body active through weekend hikes with his wife and
reading the most recent advancements in medicine.
With that being said, Dr. Toklu would appreciate any
recommendations on new hiking trails close to the
area!

with his patients, their families, and colleagues and looks forward to putting his
roots down and being a staple in the local area!
