Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Colonoscopy/endoscopy
Dr. Torres was recommended to me by my gynecologist. Dr Torres performed a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. I found his services to be excellent. He and his staff are very caring and easy to communicate with. I have already referred three of my friends to Dr Torres for colonoscopies. He is great.

Argumentative
Upon informing Dr Torres that a injury Tech or medical person had looked in my foot and prescribed some antibiotic ointment he begins to argue and tell me that no such person existed at the clinic that it was done at. He insisted that no person existed I just confirmed with the pharmacy that this person does exist and the location that the prescription was called in from. I don't understand why he was so adamant to argue with me about it as if I was lying. Now how's that for a bedside manner?

Hemorrhoids extraction.
Dr Torres and his nurse were professional and compassionate at the same time. The explanations concerning the procedures and results of the procedures exact. Also, performed a endoscopy at Lovelace, and, again the Dr Torres and Lovelace's staff were professional and understanding.

5-star doctor
Dr. Torres is simply a 5-star doctor. He made the effort to learn my medical history the first time I saw him, and he understood my case and what was best for me. He talks with me, not at me, and I feel safe in his care. The rest of the staff are stellar as well - efficient, but also kind and compassionate.

Dr. Torres & his staff were very efficient & personable. My only recommendation would be that they communicate while tests are being ordered/authorized etc. I had to call several times to get the status.
