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.

Slow
My mom’s hospice doctor while at Bayada Hospice. Mom passed a week ago and has yet to be cremated because this doctor took full 96 hours to sign d certificate. Mind you, mom passed on a Sat so the timing to sign started on Monday. It’s been a week now

We feel she is a great doctor. My husband and I have been her patients for many years. When we were younger the visit was short because our health was good. Now we have health issues. She takes her time and answers all the questions. When she speaks to us, we have eye contact which is very important to us. We will continue to be her patients.

I'm sure Dr. Torbik isn't the worst physician in the area but after many years of being her patient, I feel she simply does not care about spending time with her patients (me). After knowing my family history (treated members of my family) she wasn't very proactive with routine blood work or check ups. I always felt like my questions annoyed her. I felt that she expected me to know the answers. She would finish my sentences for me and I felt that my concerns weren't being addressed.
