Dr. Richard Torban, MD

I'm very frustrated that I called the office 20 minutes before my appointment—yes, it was last minute, but I was in a situation where I couldn’t take the call to proceed with my appointment. Despite that, the doctor still chose to charge me a $125 no-show fee. Given that he’s a psychiatrist, I would have expected more understanding and consideration. I will not be returning.

This so called psychiatrist is the worst. My antidepressant stopped working after 15 years and instead of switching medications he added another antidepressant to it. He also added several other medications that did nothing but sedate me even though I told him I didn’t want to be overly sedated, which infuriated him so much that he shook the prescriptions in my face and said “you just don’t want to help yourself” and then proceeded to rip them up. Don't go to this doctor if you want any say at all in your medical care!

Excellent.

I have been seeing Dr.Torbin for about 10 years he is great he found the right combination of medicine for me I was depressed bipolar and had severe anxiety and now I feel happy energetic and I work out and lost 51 pounds even on the medication!!!Im so glad I found him because I had seen different psychiatrists for 10 years and couldn’t find ant medicine that worked .I recommend seeing him if you have any of these conditions!!!!!!

I've been seeing Richard Torban since 2003. During our last telephonic appointment I told him that a change he had made in my Klonopin dosage had left me with withdrawal distress, and that I had tried increasing it to obtain relief. He started yelling at me, something he had done at least four times before. I managed to interject, "You need to work on your anger management... It's never appropriate that you yell at a patient" into the conversation, before I had no option but to hang up on him. A few days later I received a letter informing me that he would no longer be able treat me due to my abuse of controlled medications. I had no intention of ever dealing with him again so his letter came as a relief. If you are looking for a psychiatrist in the area I recommended strongly that you look elsewhere.

I've been seeing this doctor for over ten years. During our last telephonic appointment (due to the pandemic) he yelled at me for almost five minutes when I asked a question that annoyed him. Completely unprofessional. I have started the search for a new psychiatrist.

I finally got the right medicine after 20 years with Dr.Torban hes amazing I've been looking for help and he knew exactly what my disorders were from the day he met me gave me the perfect medicines and my life got back to being more normal hes so kind and professional I really recomend seeing him it's worth every cent hes amazing the best in the valley .

Dr. Torban is fantastic. He listens, is kind and willing to discuss all options. His medical knowledge and experience is vast, which makes him a special and excellent practitioner. I wouldn't hesitate to treat with Dr. Torban.

Dr. Torban is absolutely the best Physiatrist my wife an I have ever been seen by. Dr. Torban listened to our issues, concerns and fears of medications. He also referred my wife to a therapist in our town. To say that we are truly fortunate to have found Dr. Torban would be an understatement.

I have been a patient for multiple years and he is an excellent Doctor!

Excellent "bedside" manner. Very attentive, professional and easy to talk to. You'll be in great hands with Dr. Torban!

Richard Torban is great psychiatrist. Always have a good experience every time I go into a appointment. Listens to what you have to say and stays in great contact to see how much you are progressing. Works with you to find the medication plan you need. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for some help.

He may be a good doctor but you better not miss an appointment. He will charge you $125 for a missed appointment and there is absolutely no forgiveness. He doesn't care what your excuse is.

Dr. Torban is a very compassionate man. He can remember from one appointment to the next what we discussed the previous session, which in some cases three months apart. He is patient and kind. His office staff is very organized and friendly. Always on time, no waiting, and Dr. Torban greets me in the waiting area and takes me back himself. I would recommend anyone seeking the help of a Psychiatrist to anyone whom asks

Dr. Torban and staff are very professional. I feel at ease with them.

I have been working with Dr. Richard Torban for years now. I’d sought help from a range of people over the years to deal with intermittent crippling anxiety and depression. Often these interactions just served to increase my anxiety or left me without the tools I needed to get my life under control. Through a combination of empathy, intelligent insights and useful practical training I was able to COMPLETELY solve my issues. Dr. Torban is Intelligent, insightful, flexible and accommodating. No

I have been a patient of Dr. Torban for a few years now and I strongly recommend anyone looking for a doctor who is professional, attentive, dedicated, and flexible to choose him to be your doctor. Dr. Torban is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating when it comes to finding you the correct treatment/therapy or medication for your medical condition(s). His expertise combined with his courteousness is what makes him one of the best medical doctors I have ever seen.

he is an excellent physician who knows how to treat his patients and accurately prescribe medication and the right dosages
