A decade of minimally invasive surgery in Bicol.
Dr. Oking Torres has built his practice on a simple belief: world-class surgical care should be available close to home — with less pain and faster recovery for every patient.
Dr. Roque Xerxes "Oking" Torres
Dr. Torres is a board-certified general and laparoscopic surgeon based in Naga City, with over ten years of operative experience. He has pioneered numerous laparoscopic procedures in the Bicol Region, bringing techniques once reserved for Manila's major centers to patients across Camarines Sur.
His clinical focus is advanced minimally invasive surgery — gallbladder, appendix, hernia, and diagnostic laparoscopy — performed with an emphasis on safety, clarity, and dignity. Patients consistently describe consultations that are unhurried and easy to understand.
Beyond the operating room, Dr. Torres serves as President of the Philippine Association of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Surgeons, Bicol Chapter, where he mentors the region's next generation of surgeons.
Surgery should restore your life, not interrupt it. The smaller the wound, the sooner you're back to the people and work that need you.
