    Dr. Torres, is very professional and really cares about me. She is very through and takes as much time as needed. I would recommend her to anyone that needs her specialized treatment!

    Dr Torres is the most caring and understanding dr I have been to. She is also very helpful with my [ ]. She's very knowledgeable and will take the time to find an answer she may not know. I have recommended her to a couple of my friends who have also been very happy with her. .

    Dr torres is beyond responsible and reasonable. she takes care of me through my ups and downs and provides me with different outlets like therapy workout tips medication management because of her I am doing so many things for myself to better myself and not ju st taking a medication and that's it. She is brilliant beyond her years and seem confident when talking about her experienced life skills that she passes to me as advice. Her ability to understand things that I've been through is why I continue to go to lee health practice. This woman is someone you want overseeing your medical needs and medication because she's attentive and purely cares. I think she's a beautiful person quite literally inside and out. You all did a great job finding this doctor. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing help on the streets to a friend. I have directed someone to her before because she is that prevalent in my mind when telling someone where to get genuine care, multiple resources and same day

    Very good place to go if you're looking to get your life together. Everyone who works there is very nice and friendly! I recommend 💯

  • Sep 18, 2024

    Love office staff. They make me feel at home. As a LMHS employee, I don’t always feel comfortable having my history out there, but they treat me like a patient not a coworker. I love their warm demeanor

  • Sep 13, 2024

  • Sep 9, 2024

    All staff is always very courteous and helpful.

  • Aug 29, 2024

    I have been a patient for 4 years at this clinic. I have always had such amazing service. Dr. Torres is absolutely amazing. She has gone above and beyond her title and what is expected from an [ ] doctor. She really cares about her patients

  • Aug 29, 2024

    The nurse is amazing she's very kind and understanding, thought I didn't get her name (she is a veteran also). As for Doctor Torres, she is by far the kindest and most understanding doctor I've ever met and I have spent my entire adult life in doctor's offices . She is always informed and asks questions about my son and myself I've sent 4 patients to Lee Health solely because of Dr. Torres. They had no hope because of how most doctors have treated them (and me) in the past. Dr. Torres is not one of those doctors. I can't say enough kind things about the whole team at the office.

  • Aug 27, 2024

    Everyone is/has always been fantastic. Thank you all. [ ]

  • Aug 6, 2024

    Dr. Torres is an outstanding physician, literally a life saver. She goes above and beyond with not only knowledge in her field, but her resources for referral in other areas.

  • Jul 31, 2024

    Dr. Torres is an amazing physician. She truly is a wonderful doctor and cares for not only the well-being of her patients, but also listens and provides outstanding care for her patients and wants them to thrive. I am so thankful she is my physician. Her front desk staff are INCREDIBLE ladies. I have been a patient of LPG for a few years now and they both have always gone above and beyond. More offices should have staff like this specific practice. All of them deserve to be recognized for their outstanding performance and care.
