Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.October 31, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERFirst visit,not a lot to go on, but I trust him and his decisions.
October 29, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERHe was very helpful and concerned about my problem.
October 29, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Toresdahl didn't take the time to look at my X-rays in the room with me. He relied on the exam his fellow had conducted and didn't do a full exam himself. When I wasn't interested in getting an MRI, it felt like he was immediately disinterested in providing me care, and he just wanted to get on to other patients.
October 10, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Toresdahl was very professional and recommended the best treatment for my knee. If I have further problems later on, I will be sure to ask for his help.
September 26, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Toresdahl is always very pleasant. He takes the time tell me my options and listens to what I have to say.
