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 Ortiz and his team have been my doctors since he started his practice. Dr. Ortiz is always kind and professional to me. I trust him very much and will continue to go to Forest hills family health associates for many years. Dr Ortiz and his team are a blessing in our North Ward community. Thanks, doctor.

Dr. Ortiz is the main doctor at FHFHA. He has 4 associates who me and my family see for all of our health care needs. There are many health services at the same location so I can get almost everything I need done. They are excellent with treatment for diabetes which I have. We wait for good care its worth it!

Thoughtful, compassionate and down to earth family doctor. he is in high demand by his patients and therefore very busy. me and my family don't mind the wait because we always get good results. Its not easy to find a good personal physician these days, but Dr. Ortiz and his marvelous staff of associates is as good as it gets.
