Dr. Arthur John Torre, MD

Dr. Torre is thorough and very knowledgeable. There is never a wait and the staff is friendly. Both Dr. Torre and the nurse takes the time to go over all my questions and concerns.

My Review of Dr. A. Torre, After recently moving from Europe to suburban New Jersey, I needed to find a doctor for the long term care of both me and my wifeâ??s asthma and allergy issues. As I am not usually affected until early spring, my wifeâ??s treatment came first because she was having a bad reaction to the dust in our newly renovated house. Dr. Torre was the highest rated doctor that was close to our house. Even though he was completely NOT covered by my insurance, something that was confirmed by an Aetna representative, I still chose to pay out of pocket to commit to building a relationship with the practice. I was able to make a reservation for the next day, which was fantastic because she was suffering terribly. The appointment was really great. The staff saw her almost right away. They spent almost 2 full hours getting her background and analyzing her condition. The staff recorded everything said, down to minutiae, which most doctors do not even take the time of effort to listen to, let alone record. All of this screening led to a very thorough prognosis of her condition together with an â??attack planâ?? of how to deal with her condition. The next day, she felt much better and we were both happy we chose Dr. Torre and made the commitment to his office. One thing about this treatment, which I know from my experience with the doctors in the other areas I have had from the other geographies I have lived, is that you will require long term treatment to get healthy. My last doctor saw me at least once a month in the spring, and much more when I was getting de-sensitizing treatment a number of years back, something I am looking to begin again. Anyhow, as we both have work and other commitments, I am used to my practice being flexible regarding appointment rescheduling. Personally, I am a consultant who has a calendar constantly â??in-fluxâ??, as I need to cater to clients issues as they appear. This is where I have issue with the practice. The last time I was there we had made an appointment for next Tuesday for a follow up. When I made the appointment, I had asked for the end of the week, as the beginning of the week is usually hard due to work obligations. The staff member told me I had to come this week and they only had Monday or Tuesday open. I reluctantly agreed to Tuesday even though no matter what, It would be a hardship for us. My wife had been feeling great and we were looking forward to begin the next step of tests and treatment options. Earlier in the day, however, my most important client called with an urgent issue that requires me to fly to Chicago for the day. When I contacted the office to inform them of the issue, the receptionist seemed very upset and barked that they have a 48 hour cancellation policy. When I informed her that I had never heard that before, and if I did would have NEVER placed the appointment (for the reasons listed above). She barked back to me that she informed me about the cancellation policy personally and its â??written on everything I was givenâ??. When I told her that I was never told that or read it, she said that I would have to pay a 50 dollar fee for the visit. I told her that if I found such a written policy, I would pay but it would be my last visit to their office as I would have to find a more flexible practice, especially as I am paying 100% out of pocket for the services. She seemed to have no problem with that, insofar as to end the relationship of 2 patients for 50 dollars. I write this review to let people know that this is a fantastic practice! The attention to detail and level of service you receive is amazing! Dr Torre was able to find a solution for my wife which relieved her symptoms and made her feel â??normalâ?? again. Just beware that if you require any flexibility, you will not find it here.

DR. TORRE IS DEDICATED TO EXTRAORDINARY PATIENT OUTCOMES. I RECOMMEND HIM TO ADULTS AND CHILDREN WITH ALLERGIES AND ASTHMA.

Tho his specialty is asthma, with a background as a pediatrician he takes the approach that he is treating the whole patient, not just the lungs. He understand balance and quality of life. His staff is AMAZING. He is the only asthma doctor we know who WANTS to see the kids when they are sick instead of just managing their asthma with a plan. He is exactly the asthma doctor you are looking for.
