Donald P. Tormey, DDS
Dr. Donald Tormey feels that dentistry is unique in that he is able to make a change in a person’s life through treatment and see the results almost immediately. The patient enters with a problem or in pain, and in a short time, they leave the office cured and without pain. It is a rewarding transformation for Dr. Tormey to witness.
Dr. Tormey’s patients respond very positively to the care they receive and sincerely show their appreciation. Most of them are like family to him, and he has seen generations of families grow up in his practice and has become part of their families — attending weddings, graduations, bar mitzvahs and, yes, even funerals.
Dr. Tormey became a dentist because he was strongly influenced by a dentist during his teenage years. This dentist taught Dr. Tormey the importance of being gentle, caring and concerned for each patient’s welfare.
Dr. Tormey loves his patients; he cannot imagine being without them, and that is why he never intends to retire! It is a profession that keeps changing and improving. New innovations emerge all the time, and he feels it is exciting to be a part of it.
