Dr. Torres is truly the best!! She takes the time to listen to her patients, do a thorough examination, including tests & radiology (if necessary) to pinpoint the exact location of the pain and is always willing to provide the best possible solution, not just pain medications. She is very compassionate, pleasant, and caring. She explains everything very well and confirms that you understood what she told you. I highly recommend her to anyone who's pain is interrupting their ability to live life to it's fullest.
