Thomas Allen Atkins, M.D., works as a contractor under Aetna Health Insurance. It’s my understanding he’s no longer a practicing physician and he should have his medical license revoked.

Mr. Atkins is a former hand surgeon who is not educated or experienced in hip arthroplasty. I had end stage osteoarthritis, Tonnis grade 3 (bone on bone wit... read more

This individual Dr Adkins is serving the Aetna Insurance and doing what is against the Hippocratic Oath. He makes very important judgements for the insurance company not what is best for the patient.

Oh, Money Talks... I suffer with severe pain 24 hours a day 7 days a week due to my condition and I have had two (2) Orthopedic Hip Spe... read more

The Experience my Son and I had with Dr Craig Torosian was absolutely the best from the beginning to the end. Dr Torosian and his team are truly awesome. Thank you so much for all you have done for my son .

Repeat patient. Waited over 5 hours for return phone call for pain Doctor. When they finally called they claimed they were very busy. If you are in pain you dont want to hear that. I had to call them 3 times just to get them to call back. What kind of quality care will you get if they are that busy?? Sad, good doctors. They need to hire more staff.
