Complaint Review: Richard Torchia D.D.S.

Be on the lookout for a cunning dentist who STEALS your money!

Richard Torchia, D.D.S., Professional Corporation rips-off his patients by performing DUPLICATE services, not explaining procedures and whether the patient really needs them or not, and then adds FRAUDULENT Collection fees and interest to his bill!

This doctor was a referral specialist by our regular Dentist; we told Dr. Torchia we just had x-rays done within a few days and that our regular Dentist would send them over. Dr. Torchia ordered the SAME x-rays performed to raise our bill by $80.

After opting-out of the special work, Dr. Torchia's office failed to bill us for 3 months. We continued to make payments on the account. We even wrote a letter stating that we had moved and gave our new address.

There were NO BILLS for 3 months even with a forwarding address from the US Postal Service. Then 3 months later he sends us a bill with $49 fee for uncollected bad debt!

Not only did he LINE HIS POCKETS with unwanted services performed on his patients, but then he adds FRAUDULENT charges and interest fees!

Don't go to this guy. He's a QUACK with HIDDEN AGENDA! His services will HURT YOU IN THE MOUTH and also in the WALLET!
