Susan R Torma, DDS

The entire office is great from the front desk to the Dentist and everything in between. I’m so glad I found Dr. Torma, she is nice, informative and most of all gentle! She makes you feel at ease and like your in good hands. On several occasions, they’ve squeezed me in for emergency appointments which is always appreciated! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I love Dr. Torma so much. She’s the best. The whole crew has gotten to know us as people. I’d never even think about going anywhere else. So lucky to have found her 25 years ago!

Dr. Pappas is absolutely amazing. Finding a good dentist can be tricky and boy am I glad that I found this practice. I’ve been seeing Dr. Pappas for 2 years now and I could not be happier. Dr. Pappas is knowledgeable, professional and cares about her patients. I always feel at ease when sitting in her chair no matter what I’m going in for. In addition the office is welcoming. The receptionist is friendly and they work with your schedule. I would recommend this dental practice to anyone!

I worked at Dr. Torma’s practice for 12 years. During that time I was able to witness her first-​rate dental work on every single patient she treats. Her approach to her patients’ treatment is one of the most compassionate and ethical I have ever seen. As a result of the practice’s incomparable reputation, it is a busy practice. However, I have seen how the entire office works to accommodate patients who have dental emergencies. She treats every patient as if it were a member of her family. For this reason, even though I am no longer a part of her team, I am still a patient. This practice is the only practice I recommend my friends to go to. I know that they will be attentively cared for by the entire staff.

As Unilocal!says when you click on FIVE stars, «Woohoo! As good as it gets!»
I’ve been going to Dr. Torma for 6 years now and as other reviewers have said, if I could give her a million stars, I would. She is the kindest and most gentle dentist I have ever been to. I look forward to getting my teeth cleaned and always get the most professional, excellent, and kind treatment. EVERY time!
(The only downside is that the law student dental hygienist graduated from law school and doesn’t work at the office anymore. That said, every one of the people who works here is WONDERFUL!)

I’ve been seeing Dr. Torma for almost 15 years, which says a lot on its own. But this week I had to have more than a checkup; I had to get two fillings– bottom and top– replaced from when I was a kid. That’s not fun– but with Dr. Torma it was as good as getting fillings replaced can be. She was gentle, thorough in the explanation before and during the procedure and made it clear if I have any discomfort not to hesitate to call as she’d fit me in to her already busy schedule.
Happy to say I won’t be back until my six month checkup!
Can’t recommend Dr. Torma enough! But you’ll want to make that appointment ahead of time. She’s popular– for good reason.

I wish I could give Dr. Torma a million stars. I have been seeing her for about 2 years and have always received excellent care from her but this last week she went above and beyond for me. Wednesday night I fainted and knocked out my two front teeth and I called the office first thing in the morning to see if I could get an appointment. Dr. Torma came in an hour early to work on me. Unfortunately, I had to get a root canal on one of my teeth and the office (who is equally as amazing) set me up with a Dr who could do the root canal and had me on my way. That night she stayed an hour late to rebuild my teeth. The whole incident was scary and Dr Torma and her ffice made everything so easy for me. I had to come back on Saturday to make sure everything was okay and again was treated well. Let me just say that I HATE going to the dentist and but with the experience of Dr. Torma and her amazing team I no longer have those same fears. She cares about her patients and listens to you. The work she did was so amazing people didn’t believe that I have lost two teeth. I HIGHLY recommend her and the office they are a great team.

Dr. Torma and Dr. Lauterback are equally excellent. Their office is lovely and staff warm and knowledgeable. They are respectful of taking you at your appointment time and make sure they’re devliering the highest quality care. Can’t recommend them highly enough!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! My entire family has been going to Dr. Torma for about 8 years now and we all adore her. She is truly exceptional. Great support staff as well. I’ve referred several friends that called to thank me for the excellent referral. Only criticism is that it can take a while to book an appointment for routine dental maintenance, but she’s always available in case of an emergency. I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Torma. She has my highest recommendation!

When I first moved to Chicago, I was nervous. Not about riding the El, or getting around, or finding good restaurants, or getting a good apartment, or making new friends. No, the thing I was most nervous about was finding a new dentist. I like to take care of my teeth! But I didn’t even know where to begin.
One day while I was in a grocery store in Hyde Park, where I work, I overheard the woman ahead of me raving about her dentist to the cashier. What were the chances? I asked her for more information, and it turned out her dentist was on the North Side, where I lived. What luck! It was a sign.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Torma for six years, and they’ve all been wonderful. She has an excellent rapport with her patients, and all of the hygenists in the office are as friendly and pleasant as can be (and gentle too!). The office environment is just delightful and really calming and peaceful. «Going to the dentist» at Dr. Torma’s office actually is a pleasure that I look forward to! I’m sick, I know!
Appointments should be booked way in advance — they really fill up, as do most dental offices. Prices are within a reasonable range (I go without dental insurance). Parking in the area is somewhat easy (watch the restrictions in the afternoon), especially farther down Belmont near Ravenswood.
