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.

FIVE STARS x 5
I only wish Dr. Torrey was an Internal Med or Primary Care doctor. He would be the only doctor I would want! Dr. Robt. Torrey is a brilliant, well educated, well practiced, 2nd generation Urologist who provides exceptional care and comfort. Dr. Torrey’s office staff has always been very friendly, courteous and efficient.Yes, Dr. Torrey has a busy and full schedule, if he is your doctor, you’ll understand why. That being said, I have never felt that the wait time was extensive, or my appt. was rushed!

If you don't mind waiting 1.5 hours past your appointment time he is knowledgeable. Just be ready for loooong wait times.

Best Ever Urologist/oncologist
My husband has been Dr Torrey’s patient since mid 2012. He did everything possible to keep my husband’s wishes to keep his bladder and prostrate as cancer was found back then. All kinds of treatments but unfortunately they didn’t work for him. Spread to kidney and removed kidney. Recently had bladder removed but more cancer found. Dr Torrey called us personally to check on my husband. He is the BEST doctor one could ever have. He checked on my husband daily when in the hospital. So caring, compassionate and explains everything in detail. He went out to the waiting surgery room to sit down and talk to me. He took the time with me each time my husband was having exploratory, biopsies or surgeries ( about 18 times in 11 years).

Excellent Communicator and Skilled Surgeon
Dr Torrey is the physician I have encountered in my 70 years. Direct and to the point explaining both the risks and the benefits of his surgical procedures. I credit his wisdom with extending my life and maintaining a quality lifestyle. If you are a candidate for a radical prostatectomy, you have found the best robotic surgeon in the field.

Wonderful!
Dr. Torrey is by far the nicest, most compassionate Dr. my husband and I have ever met. He treated my husband for a growth on his kidney that turned out to be benign, thankfully. He was with us every step of the way. He explained the possible outcomes and treatment plans very thoroughly. We wish all doctors could take lessons from him on bedside manner. A true gem!

I have been with Dr Torrey for years, including several major surgeries. He is without a doubt my favorite doctor because his rapport with me has been extremely compassionate. He explains every possible aspect of the surgery and follow up treatment. He is always “there” when needed the most. I could give numerous examples. I couldn’t possibly give a more positive review.

Dr. Torrey is awesome. I came in on a Saturday morning with a kidney stone that was so painful I couldn’t move. Dr. Torrey agreed to take me on his caseload the same day so I could have the stone dealt with and not suffer until Monday. He made the whole process as easy as possible, has an excellent bedside manner and explained the entire procedure to me in such a way as it was clear what needed to be done. I would recommend Dr. Torrey whole heartedly.

Dr. Torrey performed bladder and prostate cancer surgery on my son . He saw my son every morning following the surgery and phoned me immediately after with an update. He was friendly, informative and always positive. Great surgeon, I would highly recommend him and we would never go to anyone else. I have never seen a doctor work so hard. I am a former O.R. nurse so I know a good surgeon when I meet one.

Dr Torrey is extremely well versed in the topic and actions needed surrounding prostate cancer. He is easy to talk to and literally walked us through every step in the process and what we could expect. I would recommend Dr Torrey to anyone needing urology consultation.
