ABOUT THIS WEBSITE
Welcome to my website, a resource designed to empower you with the knowledge and confidence you need to navigate your health journey. I’m Dr. Jill Tomlinson, and I’ve dedicated my career to not only providing surgical care but also ensuring that my patients fully understand their diagnoses and the steps they need to take next.
Did you know that studies reveal 50% of patients leave a doctor’s office without a clear understanding of their medical situation or the actions they should take? Even more concerning, 90% of adult patients struggle to follow routine medical advice. This gap in understanding can lead to anxiety and uncertainty, which is the last thing anyone needs when dealing with health issues.
Inspired by my father’s wisdom, which echoes the sentiment of New Zealand physicist Ernest Rutherford, I believe that no matter how complex or specialized our work is, we should be able to explain it in simple terms. This philosophy drives me to communicate with my patients in a way that is clear, compassionate, and accessible.
On this website, you’ll find resources and tools to help demystify your diagnosis and guide you through the next steps in your healthcare journey. My goal is to provide you with the clarity and support you need to make informed decisions about your health. Let’s work together to turn uncertainty into empowerment.

JILL'S MESSAGE
I became a doctor to help people. I believe that people have the right to be heard, the right to choose, and the right to participate in decisions about their health and wellbeing.
I believe that a surgeon’s role includes that of educating patients, so that they can be informed about their condition and able to play an active role in their treatment and recovery. I believe that a surgeon should communicate with her patients in plain language, and that no matter how technical something is a surgeon should be able to explain it in language that can be understood by an interested person. I believe that patients who do not speak English as a first language have a right to thorough explanations that are provided in a language or manner that they can understand.
I believe that a surgeon’s role is to treat every patient with the same care and attention to detail that she would take with her own family members or friends. I believe that a smile goes a long way. I believe that not everything is perfect or can be made perfect, but that we should always strive to find ways to improve.
Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you find the information you are looking for – if not, please contact me and let me know.
