Often think of Dr. Torres and wish I would have kept in touch with him and known about his illness. He was exceptional during mine. The years after I had the pleasure of meeting up with him again in another practice. Wish I would have kept in touch. There will never be another one like him - they just don't make them like that anymore.

I am deeply saddened to hear this. Dr. Torres was one of the most compassionate and intellectually knowledgeable physicians with whom I have had the privilege to work. He was loved by both his patients and his colleagues and will be missed by all whose lives he touched. My condolences to his family.

My sympathies to Dr. Torres' family. Very sorry to hear about his passing. I worked with him for several years. Always enjoyed his conversation and positive energy. His patients were very fond of him. He was always supportive and very knowledgeable. A very humble man. Rest in peace, Dr. Torres.

Dr. Torres became my doctor in 1996 when I was diagnosed with CML. I always found him to be warm, supportive and attentive. He gave me all the time and attention, explanations and options that I could need. The world has lost a good man.

Dr. Torres was my Mother's Doctor. He not only took wonderful care of her, but made sure my Father was also ok through my Mom's treatments. My Mom spoke very highly of Dr.Torres, and loved having him as her doctor. Condolences to the Torres family.

I am sad to hear of his passing. I will always remember Dr Torres as a caring and compassionate Dr who truly took care of his patients. My treatments I considered care sessions. I felt that I was going through the toughest part of my life with a good friend. He will truly be remembered as someone very special. My condolences to his family.

Dr.Torres was my Dad's doctor from 1997-2004 when my Dad passed away. My Dad loved having him as his doctor as we will all did. We knew he was in good hands. When my Dad became really sick he came too our house and I remember thinking do doctors do that, but again it meant so much to us. When my dad passed away in 2004,he came to his funeral. He was an amazing doctor as you can from my experience he cared so much for his patients.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.
