Alcy R. Torres, MD

Abstract

Dr Alcy Torres is a pediatric neurologist who specializes in traumatic brain injury. Much of his clinical work takes place around the Pediatric Concussion Program at Boston Medical Center; a multidisciplinary center coordinating care between the Emergency Room, the inpatient and outpatient services but also the common referrals to Physical, Vestibular, Ocular, Speech therapies and Neuropsychology services. His aim is to provide the highest level of care to children and adolescents who have sustained a brain injury by understanding the pathophysiology of the pediatric patient through research and enhancing the health and well-being of patients, minimizing distress, and preventing longer-term difficulties. In order to achieve this goal, he has developed a Standardized Clinical Assessment and Management Plans, now adopted by the Adult Concussion Clinic at Boston University to continuously review individual patient data for areas in our practice that need improvement, thus ensuring that the Brain Injury program always provides the best, most cost-effective care for our patients. Another goal of the center is access to acute and follow-up care, to which end we began developing an open access clinic in 2013 to provide services at Boston Medical Center, our satellites and across different different specialties.
