"Dr. Torquati is a very good surgeon. He has a heavy Italian accent, so he is sometimes hard to understand. You have to listen closely! He was very patient in answering all questions I had before surgery and the ones I have had since surgery. I had one problem and called the Duke office. They called his cell phone and he called me from the hospital. He reassured me and also told me that I could call him anytime and have him paged and he would personally talk to me (instead of a \"fellow\"). I also have his email address if I need anything. I would definately recommend him to other people. He isn't afraid to go against \"regiment\" if it is best for the patient (for example he let me start semi solid foods earlier than \"protocol\" dictated because of problems I was having.)"
