He goes out of his way to make you feel like you just had a visit with a good friend. I wish more medical appointments would be like his, FIVE STARS !!!

My visit with doctor De la Torres was a outstanding visit. This doctor/ Veteran as well, took the time to listen to my concerns. Even to say he was a better doctor from my previous. For a patient to say that is because he did not make me feel like a number! He actually cared and if anyone would want to be heard and assisted I highly recommend to see him

Love the way she explains and breaks down what's actually going on with my test and results.
