Dr. Torres is my new neurologist and this is the second time I have seen her. I'm very picking who my neurologist is because my last neurologist was my doctor for a long time. I felt that my next neurologist had some “big shoes” to fill…. Well she slid right in those shoes and took over my care with such knowledge and care. My new neurologist makes me feel special. Thank you Dr. Torres
