Torelli Michael MD

I didn’t see him, I saw a PA, NP… I don’t know what, he didn’t introduce himself. I waited 40 minutes in an empty office to be seen. I was examined and then with the door open, «John» proceeded to announce my medication list and ask after each one, «What are you on THAT for?» Pretty embarrassing. He casually asked about my work and I wound up telling him about an upcoming job transfer, to which his response was basically that I was making the wrong decision. I asked for an EKG but this office states my insurance won’t pay unless I have chest pain!!! I have always had an EKG as part of a physical especially with a strong family cardiac history. The girl taking my BP let the air out of the cuff before the diastolic beat could be determined and made up a number (I am also a nurse and this is a pet peeve). He insisted on ordering a drug level for a drug I take for mood stabilization (a level is necessary only if taken for seizures) and then the front desk girl insisted he was right… I did not want to talk about this in front of the other patients who were waiting. The office is outdated, ugly wallpaper, no sink in the exam room, stained carpeting that was not vacuumed. Nothing modern, 50’s station blaring into the exam room was off-​putting. Not a good experience, will not be returning.
