Tracie2023-09-26My first time at this office. The host was very kind. The doctor communicated very well, stating things multiple times and asking if I had any questions multiple times. I found the visit to be very calming and open. I felt able to talk about myself and my concerns and left feeling good and clear about the plan for my health going forward.
edy david2023-09-21Of the dozens of doctors I have visited, Dr. Torphy is among the best. His bedside manner is impeccable. Dr. Torphy's patience, caring and understanding underline his professionalism. As part of my recent initial treatment, he made a follow-up call -- a rarity among today's medical providers -- the following day to ensure my recovery. His high standards extend to staff, including Anne. After she brought me to the examination room during the previously mentioned appointment, Anne dimned the light to ease my dizziness. Dr. Torphy and staff are why I am getting better.
