5 /5 Thor: It’s a pleasure to recommend Dr. Torres. I’ve relocated from Boston, MA right as the pandemic started. I had a great PCP in Boston that was attentive and felt he had my best interest. So, I was fearful having to start over with a new physician, especially today! Today’s physicians are owned by big hospital systems and your treated like cattle. The system doesn’t have the physicians focus on the bedside manner nor eye contact with the patient as the physician is always looking at their computer, typing away and so-called “listening”. When your done with that visit, you leave feeling not heard or more confused before you met with the physician. So, you just continue with that model of physician because, why change? Why ask for more from your physician? Why demand the attention that’s needed for that visit? Shoot, the visit isn’t free, your paying them for a service and they are going to darn well charge you for everything!
Now, about Dr. Torres. I’ve been blessed that have her as my primary care physician! Dr, Torres greats you and takes you directly to the exam room herself where she starts to have a face to face conversation with you regarding the reason for the visit and discussion on your underlying needs.
For me, I had no clue I lived with cancer for so many years. Dr. Torres was brave enough to question my previous PCP’s diagnosis & results for me. So glad she did. With further testing that Dr. Torres ordered, I was diagnosed with cancer and 4 months latter, I was in the hospital to rid the cancer from my body.
Now, I have much respect for Dr. Torres as I feel safe and understood in our visits. Dr. Torres is attentive to requests for refills of medications or questions. Also, her staff is amazing! Stephine who welcomes you when you arrive or speak with on the phone, is one awesome individual. It’s always a joy speaking with her.
Little perspective of me, I’m a 39 year old male, married with 3 children under the age of 10. Dr. Torres has families respect and faith with our health care wellbeing. Now, my wife has transitioned to Dr. Torres and feels the same as I do about her. That should speak enough about how Dr. Torres carries herself as a healthcare physician.
