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

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

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

I was very impressed with Dr. Torbey and his excellent staff. Dr. Torbey took the time to explain things to me and even examined me following surgery (after regular business hours) as my condition was considered high risk. Great service in the office and the staff are very informed. Would definitely recommend.

I was interested in finding out why I am having blurred and sometimes double vision and what could be done about it. After apmt. yesterday, 8/9/16, I left without finding out anything useful and treated like a wiget in an assembly line. There was no cordiality and was a rush to get my analysis completed. It was a total waste of money with no substantive results and I would not recommend their "service" to anyone!

Great office staff. Timeliness with appointment. They got me in the day I called. The Dr's assistant was not friendly and the Dr. was not personable and did spend any time explaining my condition. He spent less than 5 minutes with me.
