"Pittsburgh Magazine" has recognized an area obstetrician-gynecologist as one of its "Most Distinguished Doctors" in western Pennsylvania.
Dr. Robin Torres Is enjoying his 32nd year practicing at UPMC Bedford Memorial Hospital. He's delivered seven-thousand babies during his years here as an OB-GYN.
Dr Torres says he's available to his patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week and he rarely goes on vacation. He also makes house-calls to pregnant patients, whose condition doesn't allow them to travel.
What does his think makes a good OB-GYN. He says concern for the patient is number one. In his words, "respect the patients and listen to them listen to their complaints and if there is a concern, you call them and see how they are doing." Every year he does medical mission trips to the Philippines where he was born.
