About me

Hello! My name is Dr. Edwardo Torres, and I am happy that you are taking the time to get to know me! I am fortunate to practice pulmonary and critical care medicine at Kaiser Permanente in Orange County, and I look forward to meeting your health care needs.

Biography

I completed my medical school training at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA in 2003 with Alpha Omega Alpha honors. I then completed internal medicine residency training, chief residency, and pulmonary/critical care fellowship at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. After 8 years in private practice, I am now fortunate to call Kaiser Permanente in Orange County home.

About my practice

I believe it is a privilege to practice medicine and be entrusted with someone’s health care. I am passionate about my work and will take every measure necessary to meet your health care needs. When I started my practice, I made a personal promise to myself to never leave the hospital or clinic if there was still something a patient needed.

How I thrive

I live well by leading a healthy lifestyle that includes a good diet and plenty of exercise. I enjoy morning runs and lifting weights. My wife and I are raising 4 beautiful children, and I am very active in their lives. I enjoy playing baseball and soccer with them and enjoy traveling with my family. My family keeps me on my toes and very active!
