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.

Unhelpful and lacking knowledge. A typical old-school Oregonian, he thinks that everyone who speaks with an accent is an uneducated imbecile.

He’s honest to the core, unlike many physicians who are not. It will be hard to replace him when I move out of the area.

I have been greatly impressed by Dr. Torkelson in the breadth of treatment knowledge, his availability, and his manner. With other doctors I've often felt rushed when, after waiting a week or more for an appointment, followed by more time in the waiting room, they would only spend 3-5 minutes with me. Dr. Torkelson is efficient yet thorough and willing to spend the time required, a courtesy that I don't take advantage of.
