I’ve been to Virginia Mason and Polyclinic urologists. Dr. Torgerson is superior in all respects. He listens better, he connects the dots and comes up with far better solutions. No malpractice or refusal to treat sexual function issues like his sub-par competitors. Couldn’t be happier. He also performs delicate procedures himself, rather than delegating to young women in their early 20s who actually draw blood by damaging the urethra. Imagine pissing blood after a trip to the doctor. That’s Virginia Mason. Dr. Torgerson sets the standard with other urologists way behind. This kind of medicine is both physically and psychologically high stakes. I only recommend Erik Torgerson for care.

Dr. Erik L. Torgerson is very knowledgeable, intuitive and helpful. He did answer all the questions that we had, offered few solutions for the issue, and explained how to prevent it from happening. I would highly recommend Dr. Torgerson to those who seek great service and understanding from the professional.

Getting through to the office in a timely way is always a challenge, but once a connection is finally made, it is usually helpful.

Dr. Torgerson was so unbelievably skilled and caring! Prior to seeing the doctor, my husband was seeing a doctor steering him with procedures and a diagnosis that were off track. We got a recommendation for another urologist from a golfer friend (golfers know the best urologists!). Dr. Green,whom we first saw and then was referred to Dr. Torgerson, were both very aware and sensitive to my husbands concerns regarding surgery. You see, just 3 years prior, my husband suffered a cardiac arrest and spent 3 weeks in ICU. Guiding us through the decision to apt for surgery and a partial prostatectomy. Dr. Torgerson was sensitive and honored our concerns. During surgery he had a OR nurse call me half way through the surgery, assuring me everything was going well. At the end of surgery, Dr. Torgerson met our family and assured us everything had gone well. In fact, Dr. Torgeerson called us a couple times to answer or questions and concerns. The surgery and skill of Dr. Torgerson has changed my husband's and my life. We no longer are continually looking for and stopping at bathrooms. On a trip to WSU, my husband drove from Vantage to Colfax without stopping for bathroom! My husband and I now enjoy sporting events, car and airplane trips and long walks together. Dr. Torgerson was skilled, professional and extremely aware and addressed our concerns. Thank you, Dr. Torgerson, for improving our lives. Ken and Doneen Jasman

Dr. Torgerson saw me for a gross hematuria. After catheterizing me to flush out remaining blood and clots from bladder, recomended TURP (trans urethral resection of prostate). Second opinion from leading urologist thought this was very bad idea because 1. I had already been TURPed 7 years earlier and 2. Increased risk of incontinence for patients with Parkinson's. Suggested trying Proscar or Finasteride first to shrink prostate. Cancelled operation scheduled for next day. Years later, Finasteride working fine. Torgerson either too eager to do surgery or didn't know about adverse outcomes. Unacceptable for top doc.

Dr. Torgerson immediately put me at ease in a situation that made me very anxious. He took extra time to talk through everything with me and show me images. He was caring, knowledgable, and thoughtful. Highly recommend.
