It was clear to me that Dr. Torno understands how to streamline working with insurance plans to get results for her patients. She knew that if I needed to see her again about this issue, the diagnostics she really needed could not be justified without an x-ray, which was her pre-condition for that appointment. She pro-actively eliminated one full appointment cycle, potentially saving me time to resolution and the insurance company paying for that appointment. And the proactivity cost nothing! I wish all doctors approached treatment this way. It's been a long time since I've walked out of a doctor's office feeling so heard, respected, and satisfied that my questions had even been posed, never mind answered. I was there for pain, but also needed orders for vaccinations for upcoming travel. Dr. Torno, whom I'd never seen before, made a point to address my medications, asking me to tell her, rather than just looking at "the list." She then asked about the other Rx items listed. She addressed the vaccinations next, since it's so easy to get "the big question" answered and forget about that "side issue." She ordered bloodwork to ascertain whether I need boosters for childhood vaccines. After asking me to characterize my pain and answer her pointed questions, she conducted a few diagnostics. She then took the time to talk through her assessment, making specific references to various symptoms and lack thereof. She explained her treatment plan, which included Rx compatible with my other meds and a defined observation window (OW). "I'm ordering, which you need to take . If you still feel this pain after OW, use these orders for an x-ray and schedule another appointment." I feel very fortunate to have been so late for my appointment that I was redirected to Dr. Torno. Next time, I will schedule with her directly.

Fabulous experience from start (a telephone call) to finish (office visit). Do not hesitate; great front line staff, MA and, Doc!!
He was immensely helpful. I have been worried about my blood pressure and I am now less worried and I know now how to deal with it more realistically. I also have a better understanding on dealing with my high LDL cholesterol.
The doctor was very good and took care of all my issues and gave very good importance to the details and I would stick with this doctor
I have a good impression. About how she took her time on me feel like she cares about her patients and she was putting attention when I was explaining my concerns about my health not order Dr. That I see before makes me feel comfortable to talk about my health. I recommend this clinic
I had a great experience while being seen at Prima Medicine. I thoroughly appreciated the fact that Alexa Kulick took her time with me to not make it feel rushed. She also did a great job at explaining some of the findings and I really appreciated that.
Dr. Wang, is absolutely the BEST!! I drive 30mins just to be seen by her. She takes her time and explain things, she's caring and always concerned about her patients. I never feel rushed at all. I will continue being seen by her!
