    My provider and I are true partners in my health. Dr Torres listens, takes time, and works with me on the most effective ways to deal with my issues.

    She's super nice. Just did not feel heard sometimes. After talking about last visit, there has been a lot of thorough follow through and the visit Itself was more confusing than negative of an experience.
