    Dr. Torres is an amazing provider. Dr. Torres communicates clearly, has an impressive breadth of knowledge, and takes time to review the patient's records and be familiar with every dimension of their care. Dr. Torres creates an atmosphere where her patients feel "seen" and cared for as individuals.

    My Dr came right on concerned about the issues and symptoms of my condition and was sure of what treatments I need, very understanding and clear to correct anything that I was not sure about and answered any questions. I was reassured and made comfortable. Looking forward for my follow up appointments.

    Dr. Torres is a very sympathetic listener. I felt very cared for. She worked out why my previous treatment hadn't been effective and explained it very well. We discussed moving forward with new testing that had previously been ruled out. My whole experience with Dr. Torres engendered confidence in my care.
