Patti Torres, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, CCRN, CEN

I have dedicated a significant portion of my nursing career to critical care, where I’ve developed a keen ability to swiftly identify and address acute medical issues. This experience has been instrumental in honing my skills and preparing me for the dynamic and evolving field of neurology.

Inspired by a deep appreciation for the science behind medicine and a fascination with the human body, I chose to advance my career by becoming a nurse practitioner. I pursued my advanced education at Maryville University in St. Louis, Missouri. I find immense fulfillment in being part of the well-being and healing process, viewing it as a natural progression in my professional journey.

I am particularly drawn to working with children, finding their resilience and spirit to be both inspiring and rewarding. My commitment to family-centered care is a core value, as I believe that caring for an entire family is a privilege that I deeply value. This perspective is enriched by my own experiences as a mother of four, enabling me to relate to and connect with patients and their families across various developmental stages.
