Maria Cristina Torres has always been interested in solving health problems for people. She received her medical degree from the UNAM Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City. Maria Cristina extended her studies at UNAM to earn an additional Diploma in Clinical Pharmacology. Several years of practicing medicine in Mexico were followed by working in private industry, where she was involved in the pharmaceutical product development, regulation and compliance. While conducting clinical trials she participated in initiatives to promote good clinical practices, patient rights and their protection in Mexico and Latin America. Ms. Torres desired, however, to return to direct contact with patients in a holistic way.

 While living in the United States she discovered that the Traditional Chinese Medicine would offer what she was looking for in terms of practicing medicine and patient treatment. She pursued to a Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago, where she graduated on April 2013.  Maria Cristina believes that every patient should be considered a unique individual and deserving of individualized treatment. One of her main concerns is the early prevention and the timely management of disease. Maria considers herself fortunate to be able to incorporate into her understanding of medicine, eastern traditional philosophy to treat patients. She currently practices in Chicago Loop and in Evanston, IL.
