Patient Reviews
Apr 23, 2023
Dr Torres saw me the same day for an emergency visit. He found my retinas were separating and immediately did laser procedures. He followed me very closely so I did not have to resort to a complicated surgery. Very compassionate and caring. I saw him in Baton Rouge, not Metairie.
