Patient Reviews

Sep 20, 2020

Dr. Torres operated in my son recently who had a complicated case of appendicitis. Very caring and skilled pediatric surgeon. We received excellent care from the team in Kendall Regional Hospital from the emergency room, the anesthesia, operating room and pediatric floor. We are very thankful.
