Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Ortega and all of his staff are exceptional care givers. They are patient, kind and helpful. Dr. Ortega is an absolute gem!

Pain in leg
I was referred to him as i have severe leg pain occasionally in my left leg. He sent me to have a scan done to see if there was any blockage. Of course the test cost me over $100 out of pocket expense plus the $20 copay to see him. After the test I had to pay another $20 so he could tell me the results and a plan of action. He told me the results but he didn't know what they meant. After looking it up on the internet he still had no clue. Why he did not research the results prior to my visit I have no idea. Apparently he doesn't bother. At any rate, I'm out the time and expense only to learn that he doesn't know why my leg is hurting me. I should have requested a refund for the office visit as all of it was a waste of my time and I am at square one again with no plan of action.

Dr Ortega has done several surgeries on me, all I can say, excellent.. I want to give Him a board that says outstanding.. my arteries are in another world it seems when they don't want to work right.. anyhow his staff got me in way before as to pain I was having for several months . I tolded him as soon as he works with the arteries the Holy Spirit was going to help him.. as of severe blockage. So now after the fact we will see great results.. Dr.Ortega, I was a little challenge today. And you got me smiling.. Bless you and your staff they're outstanding.
