I didn't want to see a group of rotating midwives for my pregnancy, and at this office, you get to know the midwife who is going to be there at your birth. She's awesome.

I'm afraid I have to echo many of the negative comments left regarding Dr. Torrado. He is…read moreshockingly unprofessional. The first time I met him he simply walked in and literally said, "With your family history of cancer I am recommending an immediate complete hysterectomy." I was so shocked I nearly fell off the table. No introduction, no questions of me, no exam, nothing. I ended up going to Boston for wonderful care with a great team. He was dead wrong in his assumptions. I have since learned from two neighbors that they had similar experiences. Dr. Garcia was highly skilled and the best possible doctor with superb training at the best universities and THIS is what we get to replace her? A hospital is only as good as its weakest links. When doctors are evaluated by how much money they bring in this is precisely what happens. Add in a sexist, bad attitude and extremely poor communication skills and the community runs in the opposite direction. We desperately need excellent gynecological as well as all types of care in this area and simply must do a better job of recruiting better doctors. As another point of information, another local doctor severed arteries twice during routine surgeries before they sent him for more training. How much confidence does that instill in you if you need your shoulder operated on? Wake up Cayuga Medical and Guthrie!

Just saw Dr. Torrado for a dislodged IUD. He was unbelievably, shockingly rude and aggressive. My…read moresandals were by the exam bed. When he wanted to stand where the sandals were, he kicked them across the room. He practically yelled everything. He seems to have real anger issues. I'm almost relieved to see the other negative reviews, that it's not just me somehow. I was crying I was in so much pain. He immediately from the start stated that he wasn't even going to try to remove the IUD. He didn't want to do any exam to look and see where it was to see if he could remove it. He had no imaging showing the position. Nothing to go by to know where it was, yet he wanted to jump straight to a surgical solution. I'd had Planned Parenthood and an ER tell me to see a gyno, but they both said it could be done in an office visit. It seems the IUD has moved up inside. He said he didn't see strings when he FINALLY, ANGRILY did briefly take a look. But for the love of god. To just assume surgery with no visual, no imaging, no nothing. And he never did any imaging. No ultrasound. He STILL has no idea where it is or what the situation is but thinks I'm going to show up for surgery? And HE wants to do surgery, without a clear picture of the situation? It's unreal. He might be the worst doctor I've ever seen. I wish I'd looked up the reviews before seeing him. He should not be practicing. It makes me never want to go near Cayuga Health again, for employing him.

I started going to Dr. Stevanovic back in September 2019. I showed up for my originally scheduled…read moreappointment, to find out it was cancelled. They had called and left me a voicemail two days prior, about it being cancelled however I never saw it. They then rescheduled me for a few weeks later, and all was good. At the appointment a few weeks later the Dr. insisted on only meeting me, and wanted to send me for blood work prior to doing my physical. I thought this was odd, since I am in my young 20s and healthy and simply just needed a physical. But, I figured it wasn't a big deal and scheduled an additional appointment for a physical. My physical appointment that was a few weeks later ended up being cancelled, and I decided to not reschedule due to my busy schedule. Fast forward to May of 2020, I called the office to have a physical done since I was going out of town for a physical agility test for a LE position. The office got me right in and was willing to sign the necessary paperwork for my physical agility test. However, the Dr treated me very oddly. I was first seen by the Medical Student, who was wonderful, he asked me typical questions about my health, and was very polite, he was to the point and professional. Then the Dr Stevanovic walked in, as soon as he walks in he put his hand on my chin and goes "Wow what an ugly girl we need to get you to a dermatologist, you really are beautiful I'm just kidding babe". The extent of his medical exam was listening to my lung sounds, that was all he did. Then he spent 45 minutes lecturing me on how I'm "too pretty and nice to be a police officer", "you don't want to play with guns they kill people and turn you into a bad person" and "you should consider a nursing position you can work for me beautiful". After lecturing me on my career choices, he proceeded to ask me questions about my significant other. None of these questions seemed to be necessary for my medical exam. Luckily, paperwork was signed for my physical agility test. However I felt like the Dr was extremely unprofessional, and I felt uncomfortable due to his behavior towards me. The Dr wanted me to go get blood work and do a follow up, with him. He stated he wanted to rule out diabetes, despite me having no symptoms of it. I think it is very odd that he wants to do a follow up after blood work, for a condition I have no symptoms of. I am not sure if this is his way of getting more money out of my insurance or his way of seeing a young lady again. Overall, I DO NOT recommend this Dr. If you are a young female or involved in emergency services, do not waste your time and money with him.
