She believes that fostering the well-being of people who use drugs requires a whole patient approach that addresses root causes, meeting basic needs beyond drug use which contributes to treatment informed and patient centered care.  Dr. Torres’ goal is to empower those seeking to build sustainable, quality and integrated addiction treatment care.  She has a strong desire to promote social justice and equity in practice and to see that the implementation of these principles become commonplace.

    Dr. Torres has literally saved my life, and because of her the quality of my life that I have left is the best it has ever been in my 58 years on earth. Because she cared enough about me as a "whole" person, she researched medical care for something unrelated to my [ ] and because of her caring enough to help me find the BEST care in a specialty field, the sight I have [ ] (I went completely [ ]) has been saved!!! I would be [ ] in BOTH if she didn't step up. None of my other doctors did, nor offered any help there and she just cares for the entire person. She also referred me to the BEST pcp I've ever had in my life, my health, although [ ], is still the best it's been in forever. She did that, by referring me! There are not enough words to explain how she deserves recognition for excellence. I've never met another Dr. like her. She can have the tough conversations leaving one's dignity intact. She's brilliant. She's super caring.
