Review for Dr. Wu
I am very lucky to be referred to Dr Toraldo. He is kind, down to earth and very knowledgeable. You can feel his passion when he speaks with you. I know that I am in good hands.

Review for Dr. Toraldo
She has been my PCP for several years more now. She thorough and attentive. She is personal and caring. I always recommend Mill City Medical when people are looking for a new doctor.

Review for Dr. Chemaly
He was nice but he threw me off when he told me to “suck it up” when explaining my other OBGYN incidents and getting upset. Staff was nice and friendly, but they aren’t good with updating you on him being late. He was 30 minutes late for my appointment, which I understand, but no one was checking in...

Review for Dr. Dakoyannis
Other orthopedic doctors would not touch my knee injury and recommended that I see Dr Wu to repair it he did a great job and after appointments about that and other problems that I'm having are never rushed and he explains everything thoroughly I highly recommend Dr Wu
