    My visit with Dr. Tornatore was swift and very easy.

  • Jul 10, 2023

    I love that Dr. T takes the time to listen to my concerns and talks to me about options and the risks that medications have. He is very caring and takes his time with me. He has a gray memory and remember everything from previous times which is so nice. He knows me as a person and truly cares.
