Stephen Torday, MD

Dr. Torday delivered my 2^nd son & I had such an amazing experience! My first pregnancy I was a different doctor in Long Beach & I had the worse experience with him so I was hesitant about finding someone new, but going to Dr. Torday was the best choice for myself and my baby. Im so pleased with his service as well as the two ladies that work the front desk. They are extremely helpful & very pleasant! A huge factor for me as well was my sons circumcision, it was flawless! As I said earlier my first born’s doctor was a mess & he rushed through my son’s circumcision & after seeing how flawless Dr. Torday’s work was with my second son I wish I would have came to him earlier! He’s an outstanding doctor!!!

Very good Dr. I recently gave birth to my third son and he did an outstanding job. Very thorough and his office staff are very helpful and polite.

Went to Dr Toraday and he immediately made me feel comfortable. His bedside manner is excellent, took time with me to discuss all my questions and helped me with this life changing decision. Office staff is soft, sweet, professional and efficient.

I am pregnant with the second child. I came back to see Dr. Today because I really like the way he treats me. I know I’m in good hands again.

This is a great doctor! once you get to know him after a few visits you can see that he’s there because he cares about patients and wants the best for them unlike some other doctors who you can tell are there to make big money. This doctor always treats you right and always has your best interest in mind and you can tell he has years of experience! Just remember it can take a few visits to get to get comfortable with him since he is very focused. Again, I’m so glad that Dr. Torday is our OB for our baby.

I’m kinda bummed to see Dr. Torday have such poor ratings on Unilocal!but I guess when people are upset it’s easier to review poorly than go out of your way to give someone positive attention.
Dr. Torday has been my OB/​GYN since the day I found out I was pregnant — OK, so maybe after two weeks I found out — and he has been very kind to my husband and I every time we go in. He is educational and takes the time to answer any questions we may have. He is also very calm which REALLY helps out since I’m such an anxious person about everything. Our 20 week Ultrasound took 40 mins and I LOVED it because he was SOOOO thorough in explaining every little body part of the baby and how it all looks healthy. It was such a nice experience and I’m happy that he will be delivering the baby.
The reason for the 4 stars instead of the full 5 is that the front office staff can be a little cold with client as they come in. A smile and sweet hello would be nice. The medical assistant that gets my weight/​vitalsigns is really sweet though. Also, Dr. Torday’s ultrasound machine is outdated… gosh, it’s old but it gets the job done. I would recommend he get something more updated/​modern :)

DO NOT GO HERE! His office release confidential information regarding my appointment without my authorization! They are unprofessional and cannot handle conflict.
I gave Dr. Torday’s office a call to discuss why confidential information was given out without my consent. I understand that mistakes happen and in this situation, a simple apology would have sufficed. Unfortunately, this did not happen. I first spoke with the Office Manager who denied giving out any kind of information. When I explained the situation further, her tone of voice changed and she began speaking to me rudely. When she was unable to answer my questions, she had Dr. Torday speak with me about the situation. After explaining the situation, he too denied releasing any information. After repeatedly questioning how the third unrelated person would know this information if the office did not release the information, Dr. Torday started raising his voice and did not let me answer any questions he was demanding responses to. He said insulting things that no doctor should ever say to a patient and tried to blame me for the person finding this information out. After threatening to sue, he became enraged and started making more inaccurate accusations. I was unable to respond to any of his questions, as he would repeatedly interrupt me by asking the same question. Since he was continuously shouting and did not give me any time to speak, I could not do anything but hang up the phone.
This is not only highly unprofessional for doctors and office managers to speak to me this way; this is also a violation of my HIPAA rights. There needs to be something done about their intolerable practices and procedures they are performing at this office.

Dr. Torday has been my doctor for 12 years. He has delivered all of my children, performed a surgery, etc. I have no complaints! I love him! He is patient, answers questions, and is sincerely concerned about you as a person. Awesome bedside manner. Just a great dr.

I’m not very happy with this office, and I went back-​and-​forth between giving it 1 versus 2 stars. I chose the higher one because, at the end of the day, the exam was done properly.
So let us start with the pros (few as they may be): Exam was done properly and did not take me that long to get an appointment.
Cons: The doctor gave the wrong code to the insurance, and the insurance, initially did not pay for the visit. After 10 months, it got resolved (yes, I said 10 months). However, it took about 5 phone calls to this office to get them to submit the right paperwork, and his support staff (someone who’s name starts with an A) was very rude about it. Additionally, the doctor is much older than me, and I did not feel like he answered my questions that well. The office is okay, a little small and out dated.
