Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Torchia, was awesome. Definitely a man fulfilling his God ordained purpose. Went above and beyond his duty. Made a special appointment to see me, and. Opened a surgical spot to fix me up the very next day. Hopefully never have to need surgery again, but if I do, without a doubt will see Dr. Torchia. Thanks again Dr. Torchia

Medications were not prescribed.We were very impressed with him did not seem rushed, answered our questions and most of all you can always tell if a doctor reviewed your chart before he came into my exam room and he definitely had.
