About the Doctor

Dr. Stephen Torday, MD is a seasoned Obstetrician and Gynecologist with more than four decades of dedicated experience in women’s reproductive health and gynecological medicine.

His international medical education provides him with a broad clinical perspective that complements the evidence-based standards of American obstetrics and gynecology practice.
