"at first i was a little worried. he does so many surgeries that i was worried about him being over confident and messing up. he was straight forward about risk and complications. i unfortunatly did have complications and was at first upset and afraid. the hospital at mu took good care of me i am very pleased with their surgical icu unit. nurses were very attentive and caring. i had one nurse who even waited past her shift for me to come out of resurgery to make sure i was ok because i had been so upset. de la torre fixed the issue and now at a year out i realize everything that happened were risk i had been informed were possible and they were diligent in caring for my problems and after care. i personally am very thankful for dr. de la torre and his office staff and expecially that nurse in sergical icu. i was so scared and she was there for me. wish i had gotten her name so i could thank her personally."
